My boomer dad asked me last week why I'm still renting at 43.
I told him a starter home in our area is $410,000.
He said "so save up."
I said the down payment alone is $82,000.
He said "that's not so bad, break it into pieces."
I said after rent, insurance, and daycare I put away maybe $400 a month.
He did the math out loud. Got to seventeen years. Went quiet.
Then he said something I didn't expect.
"I put down $3,200 on our first place. I had it saved in eight months working at the plant."
Then he just sat there for a second.
"I always thought you kids were exaggerating."
That's it. That's the whole conversation.
He wasn't being cruel. He genuinely had no idea. Nobody ever showed him the number.
Most of them aren't defending the system. They just never looked at it.
When you open websites on your phone they are automatically modified for your phone. If you request the desktop site (the way it looks on a computer) it will pull up everything.
This is exactly how you deal with Woke absurdity.
You mock it.
You let everyone know you’re mocking it.
But…
You don’t actually say you’re mocking it.
You let everyone see the absurdity.
You make the Woke be the bigots they claim you are.
Enes Kanter is brilliant.
I’m going to go out in a limb here and predict Enes breaks every record in the WNBA in year one. She truly is going to make a spectacular women’s basketball player.
