READY FOR HILLARY? “Millennials are no longer going to night clubs,” according to the London Independent, adding that “once costly high-end audio equipment can be easily and inexpensively sourced online, meaning that the house party represents a better value option, as indeed do the entertainment offerings from Netflix, Amazon Instant Video or games companies.”

Of course, in America, that house party is likely to be in the basement of mom and dad’s house. “More young adults are living at home than five years ago, despite the economic recovery, according to a new report by Pew Research Center that crunched U.S. Census bureau data from 2010 to 2015,” Forbes recently reported.

And they’re driving a lot less, as Ann Althouse noted in 2012, linking to a New York Times article which reported, “Back in the early 1980s, 80 percent of 18-year-olds proudly strutted out of the D.M.V. with newly minted licenses, according to a study by researchers at the University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute. By 2008 — even before the Great Recession — that number had dropped to 65 percent.” As Althouse reminded the Gray Lady, “Isn’t that what the Boomer generation told them to do? Cars are bad. They are destroying the planet. Then, when they avoid driving, we scold them for being — what? — sedentary? unambitious? incurious?!”

So they’re not going out to night clubs, they’re not driving, and they’re staying home watching TV. Congratulations, millenials – you’re already leading the sedentary lifestyle my parents led in their 70s and 80s; and have we got an exciting, wild and crazy candidate whose lifestyle matches yours!

(Or perhaps, the millenials’ abandonment of night clubs makes them more attracted to this candidate whose anti-dance policies are straight out of Footlose.)
