OUR TIME DAILY TRANSLATION
We've heard you say it many times: "Politics is like a foreign language." Well, we agree.
Each week, we summarize, simplify, and interpret different major news stories and how they affect our generation. We'll give you our take, and you can decide for yourself.
YOUNG AMERICANS LESS LIKELY TO DRIVE
THE FACTS
From 1983 to 2008, the share of 16- to 39-year-olds with driver’s licenses dropped significantly, with the greatest decreases among drivers in their late teens and early 20s.
WHY WE SHOULD CARE
The availability of social media, combined with a difficult economy for young workers, the high cost of buying and maintaining a car and a migration of young adults toward large cities is changing the behaviors of an entire generation.
OUR TIME OPINION
Where cars used to be symbols of freedom and independence, members of our generation are embracing new priorities that don’t require automobiles, which both saves money and saves the environment!
