Everyone gets a ribbon. The syndrome is everywhere recently as we can't have anyone feeling bad. All fingers for said syndrome always seem to point at the phone/social media-addicted population, the Millennials.
I'm here today to offer an apology to the group. While being cooped up in this fun time of hibernation, I dug up some artifacts from my youth and have proof that everyone was getting a ribbon well before the Millennials were even a gleam in their mother's eyes. Some sad ribbons at that.
