The young are more adventurous, less settled, and likely to seek international opportunities. I can see that.
FWIW, the US doesn't fail at everything. We still have the Dream.
The sad truth is, most folks are just comfortable enough in their busy little lives to buy into the explanation that if you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear.
It is a sad progression to go from being blindly proud of your country to being ashamed of the way it behaves.

I'm so glad I don't have food allergies.
Me, too, neither.
Although if I did have a potentially deadly aversion to some foods, I would have to be without food for some time before eating a meal prepared by strangers.
On fire, suffering from intestinal shingles, I would run barefoot down a street paved with broken glass to smell the exhaust from the truck carrying your hyperboles.
If the US and China go to war, instead of dividing up the spoils as the Russians self-destruct, I will run barefoot down a street paved with broken glass to pop a pimple on a bobcat's balls with a hand full of barbed wire.

If you come up with something, there are umpteen fathers on Earth with teenage daughters who would be interested.
FWIW, though the longish article begged skimming, it touched on the settlement being genetically diverse from earth. What would a Martian descendant of Earth look like in fifty generations? IDK, but I'd like it if humanity knew one day.
I suppose the number of trips to deliver a million humans to the Red Planet could be reduced if they could be convinced to breed once they arrive there.
You know how some people start telling a story, and then they pause to say, "Stop me if you've heard this one before?"
In the event I find myself senile, I would like to continue operating as long as possible without that information.
If I still have my wits about me, I would prefer that nine people have to reread my speculation so that one set of virgin ears were reached. It's for the children.

The partner who requires the sex will get it... no doesn't mean No in robotics, and the partner who wishes to remain unsullied may do so.
