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."
Van Jones Gets Emotional After a Newly Discovered DM from Charlie Kirk
“After he was murdered, my team called and said he was trying to reach you … This guy is reaching out to his mortal enemy saying, we need to be gentlemen and sit down together … I've sat on it long enough.”
Stay an actual person—complex, conflicted at times and ever under construction by your merciful Maker—a person who, like your fellow people, does not always even understand yourself. Don’t let these culture wars turn you into the mere embodiment of a side or an issue or agenda.
@BethMooreLPM Walking sticks or a walker with wheels, until surgery. No shame! I was diagnosed with MS & know what it feels like to suddenly have numb feet/legs. Thanks be to God, I no longer need a cane or walker!
@DrSampler @BethMooreLPM This is one of the most beautiful comments I've read in a long time. As someone who also lived with chronic pain for years, thank you for helping edit this much needed dissertation. I'd love to read it when it's done.
I keep an extra hour stuffed in my mattress.
This is an important message, pls listen to Dr. Lindsay
Question: "You said that this was nefarious, in what sense are you saying that?"
Dr Lindsay: "The SV40 sequences, they should not be there. They don't need to be there to grow this in bacteria.
I don't think it's an accident. They could have chosen another plasmid that did NOT have the SV40 sequences.
If these sequences sit above an oncogene, and they are promiscuous, that means they are likely to integrate in places, more likely then other generic inserts. Then they can cause cancer."
"..We looked to see endotoxin levels, but they have them all redacted. Why would you redact them if you were trying to be transparent."
"There is something very unusual going on here."
"Please protect your citizens.
We've got to get one state to stand up and do the right thing."

I’d love to see a world where ministries that supported and elevated abusers did less ‘we are surprised and sorry’ and did more reflection on how they might be complicit (confession) and work to support survivors (repentance) and determined to change systems. (Restitution). 🙏
What is happening ...
Good morning again from Maui, where residents are being ROYALLY screwed by local, state, and federal governments.
There are COUNTLESS important issues to note, but here are just a handful:
1. The town of Lahaina is being INCREASINGLY fortified, and there are police & military checkpoints at literally every corner
2. Residents are starting to become literally impoverished due to all the shutdowns.
3. The government has put TENS OF THOUSANDS of people out of work and countless people are about to be forced into bankruptcy.
4. Federal aid is almost IMPOSSIBLE to get.
5. THE GOVERNMENT STILL WON’T DISCLOSE THE AMOUNT OF CHILDREN MISSING OR DEAD.
6. The “official” number of people missing keeps changing and seems to be based on TOTAL LIES.
7. RESIDENTS ARE LITERALLY BEING ARRESTED FOR ATTEMPTING TO VISIT THEIR OWN HOMES.
— MARK MY WORDS: We WILL get to the bottom of all this. I’m putting together a team of local residents & journalists to make it happen.
WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENT HIDING?
WHY DO THEY KEEP LYING TO THE GREAT PEOPLE OF MAUI?
*** I want to know YOUR thoughts, and and what YOU want to know about the situation on the ground here on Maui.
Beautiful!
SO good
I found it utterly impossible to read Acts 4 in my devotions this morning and keep it to myself. Just a few verses of it if you can bear my accent.
@BethMooreLPM Here's lookin' atchu, kid. Your account is one of the only reasons why I'm still on Twitter. My grandpup Sterling awaits everyone's adulation. 🤣
Maddening!! So reckless & downright evil. As young as 6 months? Nah, fam.
This reckless action is final proof of the cynicism, corruption + capture of a once exemplary public health agency. ACIP members have demonstrated that fealty to their pharma overlords eclipses any residual concerns they may harbor for child welfare.
