The plain fact is that recent college grads aren’t in massive pain. They suffered during the Great Recession like everyone else, but all told, they probably suffered a little less than most other groups.

More quotes by Kevin Drum
There's no liberal equivalent of Donald Trump.
Kevin Drum
Open office plans, cell phones, constant notifications: these are all things that fight against sustained attention on a task. For some people and some tasks, that doesn’t matter. But for a lot of important work, it matters a lot.
Kevin Drum
When Donald Trump disingenuously demands to know why [Hillary] Clinton never tried to close the loopholes he used, the answer is: She did. And if there had been any way to make it retroactive, she probably would have voted for that too.
Kevin Drum
Despite more than a year of spittle-flecked fury at Hillary Clinton for using a private email server, most Trump voters probably don’t even know what a private server is. Nor do they care. It was just a buzzword that somehow meant Hillary was a crook.
Kevin Drum
I think [Hillary] Clinton owes the press some thanks for going so far overboard on the emails and the Clinton Foundation over the past year.
Kevin Drum
Apple has never allowed ad-blocking software on the iPhone or iPad. This is one among many reasons that I ditched both. Not because I hate ads all that passionately, but because it's an example of the obsessive corporate control Apple maintains over its environment.
Kevin Drum
Apple is happy to allow users more control over their devices as long as it also happens to benefit Apple. If it doesn't, then tough.
Kevin Drum
The media here is the opposition party. They don't understand this country. They still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of the United States.
Kevin Drum
Betsy DeVos, for example, has shown that she’s flatly ignorant of an astounding amount of basic education policy. It might be possible to persuade two or three Republicans to oppose her on these grounds - but only if the entire confirmation process isn’t a pure partisan battle.
Kevin Drum
Smart hiring managers in the modern world should be asking, “How long can you concentrate on a task before you have to take a break?” I wonder how many of them do?
Kevin Drum
In America, the economy is simply nowhere near bad enough to serve as the base of any kind of serious political revolution.
Kevin Drum
Republican voters already hated Democrats so much that [Bill] Clinton and [Barack] Obama didn't really have much impact.
Kevin Drum
You're more likely to vote Democratic if you hate Republicans than if you love Democrats, and vice versa.
Kevin Drum
The WHO took care to explicitly say that processed meat didn’t rank alongside smoking when it comes to cancer risk.
Kevin Drum
The younger you are, the more likely you are to have grown up in a (mostly) lead-free environment, and that means you're less likely to have committed a felony or gotten sent to prison.
Kevin Drum
The FBI released its report on [Hillary] Clinton's emails. It exonerated her almost completely, but a few days later Matt Lauer obliviously spent a full third of his interview with Clinton on the emails anyway. Lauer was widely pilloried for this.
Kevin Drum
I can't fault [Donald] Trump for firing [Craig] Deare. Then again, I also can't fault Deare for going berserk. Sometimes a marriage just doesn't work.
Kevin Drum
I watch CNN, it's so much anger and hatred and just the hatred.
Kevin Drum
I read quite a few complaints last night about Lester Holt’s choice of debate topics. Liberals wanted to know why climate change didn’t come up. Conservatives thought there should have been a question about abortion.
Kevin Drum
The folks who want to be left alone are the ones who actually get most of the work done, but they’re still mocked as drones or beavers or trolls. That’s bad enough, but now technology is helping the extroverts in their long twilight campaign against actually concentrating on anything.
