And what productive activity do your children do? What do they make or build? How do they improve our society? As a boomer I never had it easy.So what. I can't complain. I am a first generation American success. I put in 10 hours a day sweat and toil and went home, Worked the foundry's and mills as a yougin'. Late 60's-70's' That was when we had factories around here. $4-5 bucks an hour + piece work + overtime. Good money if you wanted the work.Hard and dirty. So what? Second and third shift. The iron stack ran 24/7. Casting iron pillow blocks/ hydraulic cylinders by the millions. We built the world. Try to get some 21st century soy boy to do that in 100 degree July heat. He'd rather code for a living.Maybe play video games, or watch a little porn. Soft men /pansies/ destroy the world and I see them everywhere. These C@@TS are in for a rude awaking
And if you want to really piss me off. Unload your grocery shopping cart and leave it in the middle of the parking lot when the corral is only 50 feet away. You lazy fat fuck.
I find that it's usually some young, physically un-impaired, usually female, lazy twit that does that. I've seen Boomers who could barely walk take their cart to the cart corral. And I remember my late mother--at 90-years-old, with arthritis, and slowly dying of terminal lung cancer, but still completely coherent and able to drive her car--refusing to park in a Handicapped parking space (even though she had a disabled placard that she jokingly called a "gimp sticker") because she said that somebody else might need that Handicapped parking space a lot more than she did. She was part of the Greatest Generation--you know, that generation that survived the Great Depression and World War II. Tough? You bet--not like today's young wusses.
God bless her. Inspiring woman.
Nothing worse than walking out and someone has left the cart free to run into your car.
Yeah that pisses me off too.
Where I live the state leagalized weed about ten years ago.
Now you get a contact high getting out of your car at the grocery store.
Now the government is the dealer,

Perfect!!!!! We keep building arms, China just sends out more emigres and economic promises. The MIC in this country needs to die.
I have three girls— a nurse, an event planner, and a small business owner. They all work hard—40-60 hours a week. They all make decent money. They’re in their 30’s. I made them get jobs at 16 so they could see how the world works. They’re saving for retirement already. Their biggest problems are infertility and the cost of housing. Technology makes their lives easier than my mid-life ever was. They’re good people. Only one out of the three gets what’s really going on in the world. Another wants to hear absolutely nothing about it and the other is just trying to get through life in these crazy times. At least they’re not crazy libs. I feel badly for them all. What a terrible time to be a human being on earth.
What’s with the hostile posturing?
Mourning what’s been lost. Hostility vents the worry and fear for humanity’s future.
No one can take your own standing on matters away from you except yourself. The judgmental negativity of the poster to whom i posed the question is only harming himself by what you characterize as hostility provoked by fear and worry. Faith in action fostering hope is the antidote.
American young men have become girly-boys thanks to colleges, DEI, PC bullshit, Hollywood and young women ,who have been indoctrinated that they need NO ONE, and hardly a man. And are basically 2000 years from the women we knew growing up. Man up, America
Oldest is a pilot, FedEx international, second runs a ski area in Aspin Colorado, #3 graduated with an EE degree, has worked several companies, paid off two houses, works at a startup, something to do with factory maintenance automatic monitoring, I don't quite understand. Youngest graduated with a CS degree, runs a team for a major banking outfit, he recently was accepted at Georgia tech in the masters program. We raised them on an auto mechanics and steel sales salarys. I am very proud of all of them. Their mom deserves all the credit. If it was just me they would probably be all bums.
As far as how they "improve society" I don't know how does any individual? They bring in honey to the beehive, how about that?
