Louis CK reflects on the marvels of today’s modern times and the jaded twerps who fail to appreciate them. Priceless at this time of year and when modern civilization is being blamed by the leftstream apologentsia for all manner of ills it never fostered.
Blame the schools and the Me Generation, who apparently fostered the Me First Generation.
