In the animal world, creatures realize that the weak brained members of their species will drag them down. Weak body…ditto. They don’t put a lot of effort into keeping them alive. You won’t ever find a wolf who makes the excuse, “Well you have to understand, he has ADHD and a peanut allergy.”
Back when we lived a rougher lifestyle (think the original settlers and also the American frontier) we were closer to nature’s rules. Weak? You don’t eat.
Dumb? The mountain lion is going to have you for breakfast.
So…where is Thom the Complainer going with this? That cranky ‘ol bahssa?
My complaint? We are encouraging the defective and unfixable to continue.
The Millennials and Gen Zs are the worst of the lot…ever. They are the wounded, sick wolves (or more like French poodles) in the pack.
Look around…look real well. We Boomers and Gen Xers are nothing more than the host body that’s being fed upon.
One of my oldest friends and his wife are just over the 70 year old mark. She is retired and he works part time. Their over 50 “kid” and his (older!) girlfriend depend on them to provide a good sized part of their living costs. While my friends buy groceries with credit cards for themselves.
Must be the oldest “Millennials” on the planet.
You will often hear someone say, “Man, they must think we are stupid!’
Uh…gee, where would they get that idea?
Watch the TV news…whatever channel you want. The youngest of us have been given a great big bubble to live in…that WE built for them and maintain every day.
The Millennials and Gen Z truly believe that life should be fair, especially for them and whatever “abused” group they glom onto for the moment. And that it’s the fault of the “oppressors” who built and gave them a wondrous lifestyle that exists nowhere on Earth but here.
I saw a video on social media today. Apparently about 25% of Gen Z applying for their first full time job TAKE A PARENT WITH THEM. Sometimes the parent will answer the questions from the interviewer. These are 20-30 year old adult humans. In the animal world they would be called half eaten carcasses.
It’s my totally unscientific estimate that at least 20% of the American population falls into the category Reverse Darwin Theory. Survival of the very unfit.
I also saw a young Gen Z girl crying actual tears… rolling down her face… because working an eight hour day was destroying her social life and not letting her “spend more time having fun.” I feel your pain. Took 50 years for me to make it to that Promised Land.
Another quite serious video features another young Gen Z describing her job interview. She was very upset.
When she asked if the job had accommodations for her “Time Blindness,” which I guess is a new version of disabled, the interviewer broke out into laughter.
Apparently, “Time Blindness” is a workplace disability. When you are just totally incapable of being on time to get anywhere. Especially to work. Do you get a car mirror disability permit?
Their wildly chaotic and scrambled brains probably keep them from getting a proper sleep and cause them to be late. (Guess the Ambien and ADHD drugs have begun to not work.) Everything in their philosophy is insanely contradictory and lacking even the slightest morsel of common sense.
You will see some of the college attending ones carrying signs that “LBGTQ for Palestine.” They apparently did not Google to find out what kind of welcome they would get if they went there. Be sure to bring a comfortable chair so it will help cushion your landing when they tie you to it. And toss it five stories off the roof.
Another one I get a kick out of: “Defund the police.” But if I’m being raped, hurry, send me a cop! Quick! And that’s the beta male Millennials and Gen Z’s.
When I turned 18 (and proceeded to get kicked out of Mississippi State) my mean, horrible, unfair and inhuman Dad told me…”Hope you find a job and don’t starve to death. Good luck! Let me know how it turns out.”
One of my favorite memes is the picture of some nose ring wearing, green haired Gen Z boy with the caption, “We’re starting a revolution!”
The second caption says, “You couldn’t even start a lawnmover!”
