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."

NO white person alive today owned slaves. Teach your kids that.

NO black person alive today was born a slave. Teach your kids that.

Not all white people owned slaves back then. Teach your kids that.

Millions of white people fought and died to end slavery. Teach your kids that.

People should not inherit guilt from their ancestors. Teach your kids that.

People should not inherit victimhood from their ancestors. Teach your kids that.

You are responsible for your own actions, not the actions of people who lived 200 years ago. Teach your kids that.

America is not perfect, but it is not uniquely evil. Teach your kids that.

The West is responsible for some of humanity's greatest advances in freedom, science, medicine, and prosperity. Teach your kids that.

Loving your country is not racism. Teach your kids that.

Wanting secure borders is not racism. Teach your kids that.

Wanting safe communities is not racism. Teach your kids that.

Wanting merit over quotas is not racism. Teach your kids that.

Questioning political narratives is not racism. Teach your kids that.

People should be judged by their character, not their skin color. Teach your kids that.

History should be taught honestly, not used as a weapon. Teach your kids that.

A nation that teaches its children to hate their heritage will not survive. Teach your kids that.

Your country is your home. Protecting it is not something to be ashamed of. Teach your kids that.

You do not owe an apology for being born. Teach your kids that.

Never let fear of being called names stop you from speaking the truth as you see it. Teach your kids that.

"I love when people call Trump Stupid..
You mean the multi-billionaire who kicked every Democrats butt, buried 16 career Republican politicians, and continues to make fools out of once reputable news organizations ..
You mean the guy who won the presidency?
You mean the guy with the super model wife?
You mean the guy whose words alone put a massive slow down on illegal border crossings?
You mean the guy whose mere presence made the stock market smash its previous records?
You mean the guy who created 1 million jobs in his first 7 months in office?
Are you sure you even know what it is you're resisting?
Are you sure you back a party that enables the decimation of every core principal of Christianity?
Are you sure you back a party that voted 100% against the abolition of slavery?
Are you sure you really take a politician like Maxine Waters seriously?
Are you sure you don't see anything wrong with someone who has a 40 yr career as a public servant living in a $4.5 mansion representing a district.

This is hysterical! On my @SouthwestAir flight a #frenchbulldog was roaming the aisles. Despite flight attendant announcements, no one was claiming him. Finally, his owner woke up from a nap and we were directing this pup back to his seat🤣
