Do you vegetate for hours in front of the TV watching mindless, brain numbing drivel that serves no purpose other than some type of worthless emotional satisfaction? If not, why would you think my statement applies to you. On the other hand, we have a large group here broad brush blaming others as a group for their problems with today's world. I'm not losing my mind over your mention of Trump, just pointing out the facts. There has never been one single politician who accomplished every single political promise they made. If people haven't figured out by now that our political system is designed that way, well... You're right.....SS has nothing to do with nothing, never said you mentioned it. There is a large group here that thinks it's one of the reasons for lot in life. I'm seriously leaning to not even fucking voting..... Why the hell should I bother? If the person I vote for actually gets elected, doesn't matter which side of the aisle, in another 4 years we'll be worse off then we are now because there are too many that want their face in the $$$ trough, politicians and citizens alike. YMMV |

This thread is an excellent example of why we are where we are.
The absolute delight in tearing apart anyone and anything you can over differences in age, or phone use while the people that are doing it to you in reality are kicking back in their Virginia estates, completely enabled by the same people snickering at the memes. The west is pathetic, top to bottom. Ignorant children content to kick sand in each others faces while the rest of the world smiles and carves off another slice. |

I’m not reading 22 pages but boomers didn’t get degrees like women’s studies or HR unless they were silver spooners going to Yale or something. However, they were the first generation to start complaining that social workers should make as much as doctors. So yeah… it’s the boomers fault.

College in Florida is about 24k for a four year degree from a public university. The requirements for success are probably more stringent.
If you want to be somewhere, you have to swallow your pride and start at the bottom. The advantage of being degreed will manifest itself in a reasonable timeframe. I've heard that gender studies degrees for a private institution can run as high as 200k. Sorry no one can guarantee a job upon graduation. Real estate in the major cities will cost you more these days, due to desirability. Live in places outside town and commute. That's what we were doing until the city grew so large that out of town was swallowed up. In other words, use your brain. Boomers don't have the debt that you do because they bought clunkers, had roommates, worked while going to school, and chose an option they could afford. I didn't own a new car until I was 44 years old, and it was a Hyundai Accent without ac. The kia I drive now costs less than 20 and I bought it in 18 and paid it off. I owe less than 5k on my Harley. I have over 200k in equity on my house. But I started working at 15 and left on my own at 17. I never made anything in the way of serious money, and spent accordingly. Now, there's a whole generation of psuedo rich people who think they are entitled to what little I have and have worked my ass off for because their inability to take advice and avoid the socialist dogma caused exactly what we thought would happen to come to pass. They want everything except the responsibility of their own decisions. I've had people like this look down on me and have taken shit from them my entire life. Now they want from me all the things I suffered and bled for to accomplish for nothing in return. The is their equitable understanding of this. After amassing incredibly huge debt they want us to pick up the tab. Their word means nothing. Their social justice bs is just bs. That's the end of the commie fun ride. Good luck with the rest of eternity. |

Getting people to think everyone needs to go to college, then offering them loans to pay for a degree with ZERO financial payback requires a special kid of stupid. Those who don't think this will drive up the cost of college are extra special.
College costs a shit-ton because they can charge a shit-ton. |

My new little trailer hasn't even had the extra insulation and AC installed yet. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu220/ramairfour/IMG_4657.jpeg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds Because I spent over 10K cash on my wife's birthday present that isn't even finished yet. Do you millennial suck ass whiny losers even understand sacrifice? NO! You are too busy dyeing your hair purple while slurping your big fancy latte from Starbucks while shopping for your emotional support iguana as you enter the workplace looking for a safe place because you can't be an AmeriCAN.

My pager still works just fine. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu220/ramairfour/IMG_4661.jpeg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds I'm even thinking of selling my vintage double red Seadweller for over 10 times what I paid for it 25 years ago and using the proceeds to finish restoring my fourth vintage muscle car in my detached shop/garage with 1000sf man cave over it. Why should I have to sacrifice this? https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu220/ramairfour/026BE10A-AF98-4BE5-BC3A-C9B0C376BEAC.jpeg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds That will leave me with just one Rolex.

While my big one does have the extra insulation and AC, it only has the manual jack and not electric. It's brutal. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/uu220/ramairfour/IMG_2689.jpeg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds Just because my college, first apartment, first home, first nice home, and country estate were a fraction proportionally of what someone younger would have to pay now, has nothing to do with why you suck so much. Just because I'm smarter than over 99.5% of people, am better educated than over 98% of people, was born at time that made many of my purchases a far more obtainable deal than now, look like Jon Snow and have a Podrick like effect on women, doesn't mean anyone now couldn't do what I did if they just put in the time and effort. Instead of whining about your shitty job selling ginsu knives, ABW baby. Always Be Winning.   Attached File |

You say that like the US mil isn't desperate for people and willing to do waivers for all kinds of things. It's an option for more people than ever. |

Screenshot from my Apple Watch. That particular watch face is kinda neat. Shows you sunrise/sunset and the astronomical/nautical/civil twilight times as you twist the dial, plus solar noon and solar midnight. I also like how it's a 24-hour face instead of the traditional 12-hour face.   I also think the Astronomy watch face is neat, where it shows you the current position of the planets, and as you twist the dial you can see where everything was (or will be in the future). Looks like a year from now we'll have Mercury, Venus, and Earth all in a line.

But be smart enough to see what job prospects and pay are in your desired area to live before spending 7 years getting a gender studies degree, racking up 100k in student loans and finding out your degree will get you 9.45 an hour. If you can get the job. |

When I graduated in the early 1980's (1984) I had $11,000 in student debt that I started to have to pay in 1985. Probably something like $45K these days. Inflation kicked in during the 80's and salaries rose. I finally got tired of sending in something like $110 a month via snail mail and by 1989 I paid it off in full since I had received significant raises and that debt was no longer a huge number. I paid the total balance but that did not take into account the interest that was factored in. Got a check back from the bank for the interest I overpaid.

It was even more normal to concurrently work part time and summers in say 1968 and attend/pay off school. It’s crazy now in comparison. |
