@reallyoptimized @firdel8000 Honest question, when will you and your tinfoil hat be leaving Denmark again?

If Elon hadn’t bought X we wouldn’t be seeing any of these Europeans having the time of their lives exploring America. No way the old guard would have allowed such a positive depiction of our country with Trump in office.

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."

@SteffenFrolund Ahem... Stemmer man på Moderaterne, får man rød politik. Det er måske værd at bemærke inden næste valg.

@RoKhanna Nobody believes you.

Your posts are becoming increasingly more non-interesting (AI slop). Why not weigh in lodging vs. food cost for the last, let's say, 130 years?
Food cost is now negligent vs. lodging.
Every initial economic miracle is ultimately upended by some other economic "miracle"...
(which is how it is, by the way. Not good or bad)

🚀 Schaut euch das an – das ist die echte Geschichte hinter dem «Atommüll»-Mythos in der Schweiz.

Im Zwilag Würenlingen lagert sämtlicher hochaktiver Abfall aus über 50 Jahren!!! Kernenergieproduktion unseres Landes.

Nur rund 40 massive Stahlbehälter stehen dort. Ein einzelner Mensch daneben zeigt das wahre Mass. Die Halle ist für bis zu 200 Behälter ausgelegt.

Kein riesiger Berg. Keine unkontrollierbare Katastrophe. Sondern ein beeindruckendes Zeugnis schweizerischer Präzision und Ingenieurskunst: kompakt, sicher, vollständig kontrolliert.

50 Jahre nur 40 Stahlbehälter. Und dies mit Kernkraftwerken der alten Generation. Faszinierend.

Lejligheden ligger et stenkast fra Metro og *alle tænkelige indkøbsmuligheder. En kort tur på cykel og du er enten i Kbh Centrum eller på stranden. Havde sælger orket en grundig rengøring og istandsættelse, ville lejligheden have indbragt op til en ekstra mill. Signe Terp mangler forståelse for boligmarkedet i København.

I need the government to lock up criminals, defend the nation, build infrastructure, collect the bins, and a few other services - basic research etc. I’m not an anarchist or anything.

What I don’t need from the government is moral instruction. I don’t need them to tell me how to raise my kids. I don’t need them to nudge me into better dietary choices. I certainly don’t need them hamfistedly backdooring my devices to check I’m not doing anything they don’t like.

GTFO of my life, thank you. You’re not smarter than me, you aren’t qualified to manage me, please leave me alone.

@PerClausen3 Godt i er på vej ud af regeringssamarbejdet allerede...
