I love my Generation Z ! Proud 🥹 Gen Z Here !
Looking forward to your future in political activism sir.
All activism and no organisation at the end of it. Organising protests and painting signs does not mean you can run a government. It's just anarchy. Backwards. Gen z just live on their phones anyway.
😅 That's a male ???). GenZ is too feM.
Stay safe, stay strong, stay persistent. You are the American dream. I appreciate this video upload.
millennials be like "that was us before the apathy, inspiring but inevitably unbelievable."
Thank you for helping to save our beautiful planet! My boomer generation is not doing well with the inevitable change to clean energy. Keep up the good work!
You are the hope. Thank you for continuing what those of us have been Speaking. Warning. Cajoling. Friends. Family. Governments at Local, State, and Federal levels. I hope each person who leaves a comment becomes engaged in the challenges that face this planet.

Blah blah blah, take their online echo chamber away and they turn into babies xD
"The 2nd" screams bourgeois ? What's the story there ?
The story here is that he represents the third generation in his family who bears the name: His grandfather (Sr.), his father (Jr.) and himself. He bears the name proudly and no doubt will pass it on to his own son. Nothing bourgeois about it, just pride in his ancestry.
I’m really not trying to seem snarky here but isn’t it still fairly common to pass a name down multiple generations?? This is just how people count past Jr.
Oh he's so ready for those fossil fuel energy checks and suddenly he'll condescend to us saying that change happens gradually... Backwards mind you.
Doing more damage than good. To so willingly collaborate with radical evil…
Looks like a hammasessual!
Yess go Jerome!! 👏👏👏👏
