Generation snowflake

Within reason yes but if someone has a fake SS card work visa etc it is beyond due diligence to expect an employer to investigate. If our borders were secure this problem would go away

 

then they should be treated like any other loan and allowed to be BK'd, or the rates should be low

 

That was silly. All these factors were in place long before the Obama administration. Most have been evident for the last twenty years. A president can barely have any impact on the economy absent the consistent and extensive cooperation of both the Fed and Congress working off the same page and normally that is delayed. If you are going for a partisan interpretation, at least by smart about it.

 

Bull(*)(*)(*)(*) you proved my (*)(*)(*)(*)ing point you just don't realize it. You go from the cellphone in the early 70s to trying to pass off the disposable lighter as a big invention. It's a laughable list that only further proves my point.

He'll you even tried to pass off the Walkman a Japanese invention which only further proves my point about the Japanese taking over innovation at the time. You list is a joke. It is what happens when you confuse ctrl+C and ctrl+v with actual research. You should have read what you were pasting first.

 

Excuses are not going to fix the problem...stop listening to the big business mouth pieces if you really care about this.

 

My generation is not some greatest generation as you have seen in my posts I hold the greatest generation and the silent generation in high regard. Of those generations still kicking I'd place us third but at least we can see the leaders. You are demanding that I give your generation unearned respect. This demand epitomizes what is wrong with your generation. You think you are entitled to things you haven't earned simply for existing. Like hell you are.

What Im saying is your generation simply sucks. Lookt at all the inventions in this very thread thst were created by the silent generation thst boomers try yo say they invented. Its not hard to be better than boomers. Boomers are a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. They aren't even in the race for first much less third the leaders lapped them. They are simply running with the pathetic melenials for last.

Greatness is not decided by a vote. Your numbers do not make you great. It's what you do in your time on this earth and your generation blew it.

 

It just reeks of low self esteem and anger management issues.

There is absolutely no need to put down 80 million people who have worked hard, raised families and implemented a whole lot of programs that have improved the quality of life for everyone.

Each generation has it's positive and negative influences on society. To claim otherwise is ridiculous.

 

If you're alleging the Founding Fathers were Marxists before Marx (I'm not sure you are saying that) and they intended for the federal government to redistribute income, I'd say you're lost. In the 18th century, that concept was not discussed or even thought of.

If you're not alleging the Founding Fathers had a Marxist streak, then my bad.

 

Jefferson most definitely wanted to redistribute wealth

 

No, they were not because the concept of the General Welfare of We the People is not even remotely Marxist.

The General Welfare incorporates public libraries and schools, law and order, clean air and water, freedom of and from religion, to not be discriminated against, the right to vote irrespective of race, creed or gender and yes, the pursuit of happiness so that your old age is not spent in abject poverty and despair.

 

We don't need ALL of them. Creating unnecessary jobs, using taxes is just redistributing MY money, which I know as a Liberal, you enjoy doing....because you think/know how to spend my money better than me=) It really depends on the job and it's the federal kind which I have a problem with the most. Paying millions of dollars so some "researchers" can go study the mating habits of slugs in Africa is not a JOB my taxes should be providing...if you want an example.

 

And you think you're qualified to make that judgment based on your greed?

Ummm...no

 

Disagree.
I am a child of the fifties and expect someone who works 40 hours/week, should have certain benefits,
such as home ownership! A real retirement pension. Etc.
Bipartisan tax cuts since JFK 1960 have destroyed the Middle Middle Class, and the Lower Middle Class
live barely better than Welfare folks.
Consider the income spread between a company president and labor in the fifties and today.
Consider the demise of the Eisenhower Tax Code allowing for a malignant concentration of wealth.

Ike built Freeways, Not Tollways!​

The 1% just topped the 50% mark for owning most of America.
This hampers the nation's economy when so much wealth is sequestered and not being spent.

The reality for Young People today is a crippled economy compared to the fifties.
It just got steadily worse in small increments, sort of like the frog in cold water slowly being heated to a boil.

Somehow America has adopted Corporate Socialism. Socialist protections for the biggest Inc.-s
Rugged Individualism for people.

BTW consider the difference between a Liberal and a Progressive is the Tax Code.
America dearly needs a reversion to the Eisenhower Tax Code, a Progressive Tax Code.

I can live with that.

 

The predominance of part time jobs is a direct impact of obamacare

You need to read it again with full comprehension and quit cherry picking

 

Maybe you think secure borders are a lost cause but many of us don't and in fact think that is government's primary job. Hmmmm, secure the borders, where I have I heard that before?

Section 4, Article 4 of the U.S. Constitution, which states:
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
American Border Control is asking legislatures of states along the Mexican border “to formally demand that the United States government immediately secure” the border.

 

You still haven't read it. There is a clear drop-off. You go from major inventions to the disposable lighter. It's a joke. What's next the slinky.

 

I would agree that since the 50s we e had creeping socialism and now we have the snowflakes that embrace that form of government and then some

 

Here's just a dose of what you choose to ignore.

Magnetic resonance imaging invented by Raymond V. Damadian.
1978

Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston invented the VisiCalc spreadsheet.
The artificial heart Jarvik-7 invented by Robert K. Jarvik.
1979

 

Then WE do not agree.

I typed this slowly for you to comprende more better. ​

America Socialism is Corporate Socialism, not for the individual who gets "Rugged Individualism".
Does the phrase, "No Banker Left Behind" mean anything to you?
Ron Paul and I agree, if a Inc is gonna fail, "let it fail".

And creeping is Federal dominion on State turf.
The Greatest State of California did a better job at Education before any Federal Core Curriculum.
And a better job at indigent medical care with lower costs before Federal MediCaid.

And you accuse me if cherry picking. MRI wasn't invented by a boomer. Quit taking credit for other generations work.

And the Jarvik heart is kind of a misnomer. The Lions share if the work was done by Kolf who was born before WWI. Jarvik was just the grad student under Kolf. Kolf named each teams iteration of his primary design after the team leader.

You are really just trying to pound a square peg into a round hole. The facts don't support the boomers.

 

"I typed this slowly for you to comprende more better"

No response needed!

 

Your contempt and disdain for boomers is noted and I won't attempt to change your mind. I myself have issues with that generation and one of them is the liberal parenting that led to the likes of you. I think that was in response to the way we were raised in the 50s which was spare the rod spoil the child. In retrospect maybe that was true.

 

Like of me? My father was born in 1929. As I said awhile ago my dad as silent generation. And he was one tough mother (*)(*)(*)(*)er. And I got rhe rod literally. You ever have to cut your own switch? I'm a true Gen-X latch key kid. I went out and played all day and learned to fend for myself. I never had playdates. I only got a trophy almost every year because my team won the championship almost every year. I ain't no spoiled melenial.

And I wouldn't have so much disdain for boomers of they didn't try and take credit for what the greatest generation, the silent generation, and Gen-X did. They want unearned respect and the melenials are their clones but worse.

 

Like I said your opinion of boomers is fine with me and I wouldn't attempt to change your opinion but your assertion that they were not inventive is way off base. Steve Jobs ring a bell? He defined the boomer generation in many ways, very driven with an overdrive work ethic and on the cutting edge of technology. He took what the previous generation did and ran with it. Note date of birth here. He is a boomer poster child.
