(Natural News) Airtasker, a website that attracts customers seeking help with household tasks, conducted a survey among 18-24 year-olds. The results were shocking. An overwhelming majority, (84 percent) of the young respondents admit that they don't know how to change a light bulb. While most scored high on computer and tech skills, approximately 75 percent admit they can't defrost a kitchen freezer and 67 percent lack the confidence to put up a shelf.

This is the same up-and-coming generation that thinks that democratic socialism can save the world's economy. While it's good to see young, fresh faces in government, people like Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez represent a movement of young people who lack real-life skills and who think they can get what they want by wishing for it or taking it from others.

The up-and-coming entitled generation wants a government that caters to their every desire, but it's a fact of life: Wealth isn't generated by government. Wealth is taken by the government and squandered on the things that the most entitled want. In democratic socialism, the majority get to do what they want by taking from the wealth of others. The rise in popularity of democratic socialism reinforces the reality that many young people today lack true character, work ethic, self reliance, and hands-on experience.
