Sure, I don't disagree.

But, in my opinion, things right now are set up in such a way that if you do not start from a position of advantage, it is SIGNIFICANTLY harder today than it was 40 years ago to put your own kids in a position of advantage.

Especially if you do not live within your means, which seems to get harder and harder as each passing generation of parents wants their kids to have "more than we had growing up". What the average young people say they "need" these days is ridiculous.

Of course parents with means have responsibility, too; I am not DEFENDING young adults making bad decisions, but all it takes is one kid with his or her parents' money, and then the whole group is making bad decisions with money they don't all have.

That is not necessarily well-articulated - what I'm referring to is that, in my opinion, kids these days are going to bars and restaurants that are priced for people making real money. Looking back at my 20s, I woulda been broke broke broke broke broke if I was going to places the 20-somethings go now.

The richest man/south-African-American in the world just accused the US president of treason and the Democratic Party of operating a giant replacement-conspiracy operation on his $44 bil personal social media platform cause “duh media wont tell you this because they’re in on it!”


On another note, not "evil" but definitely rich people - being rich.

New President - New Gutter. I am going to pledge my allegiance to Donald J. Trump and for the next 4 years I am going to be an even bigger asshole than I already am.

The only thing that Trump has drained is the volume of non-MAGA Republicans from Congress.

so glad “we” decided to give someone like musk so much power

good job, ‘murica
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?
