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."
INDIANA
Islamic Society of North America located in Plainfield, Indiana
A huge not-for-profit facilitating the expansion and support of Islam in North America. Located in the State of Indiana with close ties to Indiana politician Andre Carson.
Do you now understand why the 21 Republican Senators were against redistricting? The Marion County district would have been subdivided, dismantling Carson’s ongoing influence with the Islamic agenda. The 21 Senators appear to be complicit in their actions.
Look 👀 at the website; close ties with Minneapolis, Minnesota Muslim community. Recent exposure of the money laundering scandals involving Medicare and daycare fraud are rampant and unbeknownst supported by taxpayers.
Why is there allegedly a crematorium in the basement of the Plainfield Islamic building; inquiring minds want to know. Who are the end users of this project to dispose of human remains?

Yesterday I testified in front of Congress and only TWO Democrat congressmen showed up to the hearing
Not ONE question was directed towards me from the democrats about the fraud. Weird… I wonder why lol
If Congressmen don’t show up to their hearings they aren’t representing their constituents, wtf are we paying them for?
Attention .@AGPamBondi this is the sentiment of over 77 million people who have been waiting for a year to see you accomplish one thing but all we have received is empty rhetoric.
.@POTUS we are fed up with these people who are lagging in pushing your agenda forward.

🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.
@Michele_Tafoya I am catholic and my church prayed for Charlie but either way keep your faith. Why do you look to humans for your comfort? Jesus asked Peter to be the rock and this is His church. Do not despair. Be with God and know that His love is eternal.
