@NBCNews How about respecting and tolerating those that don’t want to participate? It never works both ways.

@Liza137823 I was really hoping this was gonna be a post about how refreshing it is to see a normal kids birthday party. That’s not completely over the top. Let down again.

In the late seventies I crossed the Atlantic on the QE2. I went First Class, which I paid for with my first real paycheck. We had a mandatory dress code for dinner. Black Tie and commensurate formal wear for the ladies. It was one of my favorite memories.

@LocumRex @Baloney_and @libsoftiktok This has nothing to do with camaraderie! Why would the few crew members want to jump into the middle of this, they wouldn’t have a chance. This is nothing to do with fortune 500 companies. It’s all about a culture that allows this behavior. Despicable.

My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.

I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.

Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.

We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!

Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??

Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."

Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.

When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.

My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.

Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.

People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.

Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.

We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

@Bodecha59 @RealJamesWoods Conservatives work. I don’t know where you got the idea that we’re all well off. Maybe in comparison to liberals who don’t mind living off money from the government. Taking care of national monuments is not vanity. That’s like saying cutting your grass is vanity.

Democrats hate Trump for this…

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Contractors behind the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool repairs are breaking their silence.

Eddie Wood (Atlantic Industrial Coatings) and Marcus Logan (Mid Atlantic Industrial Coating) set the record straight on the misleading media attacks.

• It was a sole-source contract — the government specifically chose polyurea and Rhino Linings.
• Not over budget: Still the original $13.1M proposal. Extra ~$1M for added granite work brought it under $15M total.
• 20% buffer is standard for this industry.
• They’ve never worked for Trump, his companies, or anyone connected.

This isn’t a swimming pool — it’s an industrial containment system built for a perfect mirror reflection.

Media spin/lies exposed.

Karen Bass, the destroyer of Los Angeles, has managed to unite all off my friends regardless of politics. We are all in agreement that she is the absolute worst. Yet half the city voted for more of her “needles, crime, and human shit”policies. Evidently there’s no fixing stupid.
