Most adults with degrees can't read either. If you worked in a corporate environment, I'm sure you can relate to this. Send an email, you will most likely get a phone call, or they will stop by your desk or set a meeting because they can't read and understand whats written. 99% of work in corporations is explaining things to illiterate, arithmetically challenged coworkers, middle managers and execs.

My cat cant read either. She has no problem flourishing. The Kardashians are worth 7 Billion. Melania is first lady. What do people think they read to get there? Lets not even talking about Trump who probably hasnt read a full book since the 80s.

Times have changed. Peoples model of reality updates much slower.
