@HollywoodInToto I've hated him for years but when he made fun of "just a plumber" I was pissed.
I ended up getting suspended on X over what I said about him.
When people say that something happened to them they wouldn't wish on their worst enemy I wish that on Kimmel.
I've stated something similar. Unfortunately I'm far from being under 40.
With that being said I know how much I've put into SS and I'd be willing to take $0.50 on the dollar and then stop taking SS out of my paycheck.
It wouldn't be a great amount of money but with 9 years before retirement I could make it into something that will be there.
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."
@jimmykimmel never stops showing the world how big of an ass he is and how unconnected he is to everything going on.
There is more I'd like to say regarding this POS but it always gets me suspended.
But then again he probably has a lot of hands up his ass since he's only a puppet.
I'm not sure what you mean by "MAGA agenda" and I doubt you even know what you mean. But let's look at just the basic acronym here for a second.
MAGA = Make America Great Again
Just by going with that you are actually stating that you are pleased that people rejected making America great.
Got it.
Hello Mr. Hunter Biden,
You're getting six-digit likes on every post lately. I don't have any hope to ratio you or whatever through traditional "Hello" means.
But for those uninitiated, those who are captivated by your fake-humble persona obviously PR-engineered to capture unsuspecting disaffected Republicans:
You are not some humility, witty guy turning over a new leaf. You are the ultimate proof of nepotism, everything that the so-called "Epstein Class" is supposed to represent.
Let me explain - off the top of my head.
You were a board member of USGLC. U.S. Global Leadership Coalition. The most powerful NGO that nobody's ever heard of. Last year, I documented in several threads, how Liz Schrayer, USGLC lead, took credit for ramming through a 90 billion dollar bill for Ukraine in 2024, even as @mattvanswol demonstrated that Western North Carolina got zero help in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene because FEMA threw up their hands and said they ran out of funds.
USGLC, arguably, is the most powerful NGO that nobody has ever heard of. It includes a bunch of corporations, a bunch of nonprofit leads, and ... for some magical reason, I documented, extensively, linked, that Liz Schrayer started pursuing you in 2012. During the Obama years, when you were Biden's son. Are you a former Secretary of State? No. Are you a CEO of a Fortune 500 company? No. That puts you below the average USGLC board member, by a good tier.
So what DID get you on USGLC? The only reason: that you were the son of a sitting Vice President known for corruption, and you yourself were known for corruption.
You are not "folksy." You are the worst of the worst of the elite. Most of the elite, at least, get their credentials through Georgetown/George Washington/Harvard Kennedy. You got yours purely on nepotism. Any photographs you have of yourself at motels is proof that you are so incompetent that you waste all your money, not that you come from humble beginnings. Because others like @MarcoPolo501c3 have thoroughly documented that you benefited a great deal from your nepotism.
You even tried to bait those in with saying you prefer to keep immigration "legal" - but we all know the trap that keeps illegal immgrants here: outlaw deportations, and make every immigrant case "asylum", and magically, everyone who might've been here illegally a few years ago is legal.
You may get 175K likes on your semi-subverting, PR-designed photographs. But those of us who know, know you're fake.

@ZeekArkham Sir, I tip my hat to you. It sucks you have to go through what you go through.
Much respect in all that you do. From social media to being a police officer.
So you don’t feel comfortable celebrating America’s 250th anniversary because of our “complicated past” or some bullshit?
Cool, find me a country with a spotless history then.
You can’t.
And if you go looking you’ll soon learn this one is as close as they come.
Why do you think half the world risked life and limb to come here? And why you haven’t left.
Look, we all know America isn’t perfect; I’m Gen X and from the Deep South and I learned all about slavery and suffrage and the Trail of Tears every single year from elementary school through 12th grade.
They drilled it into our brains ad nauseam. We couldn’t ignore it if we tried, but when you celebrate someone’s birthday you don’t bring up all the dumb shit they did in the distant past, do you?
Of course not you miserable f***s!
It’s a party for the greatest country the world has ever known, not a struggle session centered on shit that happened a century ago.
But you know all this, you just look for stuff to cry about because the only way you keep any fraction of power is by keeping America divided; a truly “United States” would render your ideology extinct overnight.
And if Trump was half the dictator you claimed you’d be on the first train out of here. But he isn’t, and America isn’t the fascist nightmare state you love to pretend it is.
Quite the opposite, in fact, hence your being allowed to exist here.
If there’s anything still wrong with this country it’s people like you who take advantage of its generosity while also somehow playing the victim.
So grab your boxed wine, stream your Hasan Piker, and cry into your thrifted cat pillow.
Because George Washington, and the rest of us for that matter, are over your bullshit.
@WrestlePurists Sorry, you can't have it both ways.
You can't say you're upset because the right made terrible comments about Reiner. And then keep your mouth shut about what the left did and said regarding Charlie.
Correct, it started off as a comical gimmick and then Gable got injured and Kaiser ran with it.
The man seriously learned a new language to be respectful of the culture. In one of the live events he was speaking Spanish and Ray Masterio was translation.
A German speaking Spanish and a Mexican translating to English. You can't write that.
From what I've read and maybe it isn't true but Kaiser is loved in AAA.
There is no disrespect from either of them.
When you look at how this started then how it ended it played out perfectly.
Who would have known going with a weird gimmick, an injury, someone stepping up for something that was supposed to be temporary. Would end up being one of the best storylines WWE would have.
My hat off to both men.
I guess you don't know how construction works.
You are by far one of the worst humans to ever exist in my generation.
President Trump was correct, you should be in prison.
