BOOMER: "Nobody wants to work anymore."
YOU: "I work 50 hours a week."
BOOMER: "Doing what, on a computer?"
YOU: "Yes. It pays $58,000."
BOOMER: "I made $18,000 and owned a house."
YOU: "That's the whole point."
BOOMER: "We didn't complain, we just worked."
YOU: "You worked one job and got a pension. I work one job and get a 401k match if I'm lucky."
BOOMER: "Nobody handed me anything."
YOU: "College was $600 a year. Your first house was 2x your salary. Your employer covered your family's health insurance."
BOOMER: "That was normal back then."
YOU: "Exactly. It was normal. Now it's impossible."
BOOMER: "So what do you want, a handout?"
YOU: "I want what was normal."
BOOMER: *silent*
You didn't outwork us.

@kehbrn@AdamSchefter I have to disagree on your take. You or I could never make the jump; but he has been around nfl culture his entire life. I'm actually for this!
.@FortniteStatus@Fortnite this has got to be one of the worst update roll outs. Why do it middle of the day…. And then I go to get on and it’s all down. Should have been worked out at 4am like normal.
@FortniteStatus I cannot get on at all on Xbox. When I load the game it puts me in a que and then says cannot login and starts the same routine all over again.
.@VerizonSupport I was promised a free iPhone upgrade in Nov due to a defective device. To “keep my bill the same,” your agent removed insurance without telling me. I lost the phone & can’t file a claim. Support hasn’t fixed it after multiple tries. Please escalate. #Verizon

While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.
And they’re right.
