This article was written by a 26 yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA. What a GREAT perspecitve..👍🏽 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."

If the Democrat voters actually listened to what Ted Cruz said here, this would open many eyes, but they don’t know history or they don’t realize that they are being manipulated by the party of hate! Break those Chains and be free!

You can't call President Trump "Hitler" every single day and then act shocked when another attempt is taken on his life. Gen-Z, we can't be silent any longer. They're trying to kill our President and some are scared to repost a pro-Trump post. Stand up. No more silence.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent schools MS NOW's Jonathan Lemire after he tries a "gotcha" question, "How does a $20 billion bailout of Argentina help Americans?" Bessent: "Do you know what a swap line is?" Lemire: "That's-, you're the Treasury Secretary, sir."

🚨 Exposing California's corrupt "Stop Nick Shirley Act", instead of going after the fraudsters California is now going after the people exposing the fraud. This bill AB 2624 will: - Criminalize journalists with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown - Let immigrant based NGOs' funding be confidential - Take away freedom of the press from journalists - Protect any "immigration support services" information from being public (healthcare, legal services, etc) This bill was created by the Attorney General's WIFE Mia Bonta to stop fraud from being exposed. Please like and share this video everywhere! By trying to silence and intimidate journalists, they are trying to hide the truth from you. EXPOSE ALL THE FRAUD.

You tried to paint me as a pervert for exposing fraud, and as a result radical leftists started trying to dox me and send death threats, wanting to kill me. Now you are taking credit for “leading the charge” on the fraud. Are you serious? You are the fraud.

We live in a crazy world. Trump says "Fuck" and the leftists have a meltdown. Muslims in Texas yell "Death to America" and libtards call it freedom of speech. That's exactly why im not a Democrat anymore.

I didn’t mind if you were gay. Until you paraded in the streets in chaps and with dildos in front of families. I didn’t care if you were trans. Until you wanted access to my kids in school and wanted them to question their own sexuality and gender. I didn’t care if you were black or white or brown. Until you wanted to pull down statues, destroy our history, re-write our novels and pay you reparations. I didn’t care if you wanted to cross borders. Until you decided to do so illegally and then started criminal enterprises in the country you entered or lived off the welfare system. I even didn’t mind if you wanted an abortion, until you started celebrating them and calling the fœtus a “clump of cells”. I am not the only one. There are millions of people just like me. And we are angry now and will fight back. The line must be drawn here.

The best quote of the day.... "How could we expect a group of people who don't know the difference between a man and a woman to know the difference between a King and a President."
