Imagine if this happened every day for the next 100 years.

"It's always someone else's fault my life sucks! Waaahhhh!"

I'm not denying that it's more difficult for this generation vs the generations of the past. I'm more pointing out that it's ridiculous to blame it on an entire generation ffs.

The problem was a handful of politicians and corporations that drove this country into the ground, and sold out America. Blaming random people who are part of the previous generations is what they want you to do. It's more 'divide and conquer' techniques.

Make different races hate each other
Make different political groups hate each other
Make the poor hate the rich
Make newer generations hate the older generations

It's always deflecting and gaslighting us to fight each other vs the real corrupt problem.

We are ALL being screwed left and right and we just take it out on our neighbor who had nothing to do with it. Hatred and Animosity because we refuse to look at individuals and instead we love to put people in categories or boxes so it's easier for us to keep hating.

Idk what the solution to this is long term, but more people are going to have to be willing to move. Texas and Florida have good economies and are affordable. Tennessee and North Carolina have cheap housing. Even northwest Arkansas is underrated

I definitely agree it’s harder now. Having raised three kids on an engineer + nurse and then nurse practioner’s salary, with my wife taking 10ish years off to be a stay at home mom, I definitely think it’s worse now. Granted we drove piece of shit Hondas and Toyotas until they fell apart and didn’t live a life of luxury, it was still easy to build wealth, save for retirement, pay for our kid’s educations without them taking loans, pay off a house and rent it out while buying another one, etc

Still, looking around the world I don’t see much better. And america has some really beautiful spots if you’re willing to move. I personally love the Carolinas. I love the entire mountain west but I could see that being unaffordable

I hear the Midwest is dirt cheap? Not my cup of tea but if your priority is getting out on your own and starting a family, I think it’s still very possible.

It’s still a good country, but yes, our leadership across the board is not ideal to say the least. Social media didn’t help either

Just sounds like the tired statement both sides do it and lets ask for yet another due over for the team constantly making mistakes.

Please explain how what I said was "retarded."

I'll wait and respond accordingly. I'd love to hear you elaborate.

You don't think that we're being put up against one another constantly? Always being prompted to hate various groups of people?

Or did I call out what you do regularly, and so you went into full blown tantrum mode because it's easier than self reflecting?

I get it. You've been conditioned to be hateful. So thank you for just proving my point.

The more recent generations wouldn't know what hard work was if it bit them in the backside. Give me a break.

That’s true but growing up we didn’t complain or ask for the manager. I can’t imagine being a cashier or waiter today

“Can I speak to your manager?”

I’d pull my Glock immediately and say sure you can but you’ll have to dance first
