So, let me get this straight:
1) Some young graduate is bitter because he didn't fall into an awesome job right out of college.
2) His blog post about that was somehow worth someone linking it here, and people getting pissy about it.
3) He's followed it up.
4) That follow-up is somehow worth a huge debate here between people who can't meaningfully discuss libertarianism and people who can't meaningfully discuss libertarianism.
Seriously?
"Graduate unhappy about not being given job" is not news. Complaints about the "young generation" are not news. Talk about how the "old system" that handed out jobs has "broken down" is not news.
These are stories that are older than many of the people posting here.
Maybe a discussion of why anyone in 2009 goes through life with 1950s-vintage ideas of how the world works is in order, but that seems under-examined.
