My dad retired at 59
I will not
He had a pension. I have a 401k I can barely fund.
He bought his house at 28.
I can't touch a down payment at 30.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance. I pay $430.
At dinner he told me I need to be smarter with money.
I nodded.
Didn't tell him his entire life was built on an economy that no longer exists.
Didn't tell him my generation is paying for his Social Security while ours gets gutted.
Didn't tell him the ladder he climbed got pulled up right after him.
Just passed the potatoes.
Make it make sense
"Young people hate to work"
No they don't want to:
- Work 60h for 40h pay
- Meet their co worker more than their kids
- Beg for a raise that lose to inflation
- Work weekend to be a good employee
- Get laid off overnight
People don't hate work, they hate working for nothing
"Buying a house was really expensive back then. You had to save up two whole months of salary to buy a house, so it was really tough compared to this new soft generation that gets everything handed to them"
It’s a tribute to his sisters moron.
Mocking sincerity is some of these people's only personality trait. Hating on everything is just emotional emptiness disguised as cynicism. Caring about people and things is infinitely more interesting than being a bitter engagement-farming bot online.
🚨 do you understand what happened to Stephen Colbert..
24 hours after his final Late Show, Colbert hijacked a tiny public access channel in Monroe, Michigan with Jack White, Eminem, Jeff Daniels and Steve Buscemi.
Now Paramount - the company that just cancelled his show - is mass-blocking every reupload worldwide via Content ID. And the deeper you dig, the worse it looks:
- The finale pulled 6.74M viewers - a weeknight record over 11 years
- Eminem cameoed as "Marshall, the fire marshal" to greenlight torching the set
- The same day Trump posted an AI video of throwing Colbert into a dumpster, Colbert aired footage of himself burning a real one
- Mayday Network and verified journalist Matthew Keys both got blocked globally - for sharing a community access show
Paramount cancelled his show to silence him. Instead they handed him a Streisand-effect comeback 10x bigger than the show ever was.
