The famous documentary Ferris Bueller’s Day Off demonstrates why forty years later our leaders elected Tariff Man. (Classic comedy actually if you’ve never seen it)

The teacher in this scene was played by Ben Stein, who was a speechwriter for both Nixon and Ford. His father also worked for Nixon as an economic advisor.

Holy shit. The deadpan presentation, the different variations between boredom and "for god's sake, I'm actually trying to pay attention!"
Pure gold. 🤣

I want to argue against this point, but it's true that the quality of instructor can make the difference, plus any time I dare to sneak back on Facebook and see the posts from various high school classmates that I friended long ago... all I can say is not all of Gen-X are idiots, like any other grouping. But damn, some of them are.
