Masks?

No. It also isn't going to end their existence. I have 8 nieces and nephews and they're doing pretty alright. They'll probably grow up to be more prone to use a mask during flu season and consume more hand sanitizer than previous generations, sure. But making this out to be some kind of future crippling situation is a bit over dramatic.

Honestly I think the bigger concern for the generation than psychological damage is how big of an educational gap there will be between kids who had a parent at home who consistently engaged with them on continuing to learn over the parts of 2 school years that they were at home and those who didn't. I imagine there'll be a fair amount of 5-8-year-olds who are well behind on their literacy rate compared to their peers later in life.

As stated, I'll put the 9/11 / recession debate aside. 

I believe what Tiger was referring to, and certainly a major concern of mine, are the principles kids are learning to be 'american'.  I can't make the leap between the raving lunatic father in this video and him somehow instilling leadership, community and acceptable behavior.  The incident above is playing out all over the country as we speak.  The children of these self-centered morons will need strong role models outside of the home to undue the damage to their moral fabric.  I would not want to live next to the grown children of that father if they become an amplified version of their parents.   

I would be really interested to hear your thoughts on the article I linked above though.
