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."

@DontAtMeDD @dandakich Remember when there were 2 polls for college basketball? One was the coaches poll (AP) and the other was a sports writers poll (UPI)? Here’s a quote I recall being attributed to Coach Knight: “You can’t spell stupid without UPI!

@esotericmtndew If you just washed up on shore yesterday, I’m guessing you mean someone who is in our country illegally.
If you’re the offspring of someone who served our country in the military, thank them for their service for me.

@esotericmtndew You’re either American or not American. There aren’t degrees of American. Even Canadians probably get that. Take a nap Harry.

[Stephen Daley @sd12602]

@esotericmtndew Well Skippy, here in this country our rights are guaranteed by our Constitution. Because of that, I can express what I believe to be true without repercussions from my government. In my opinion, you sound like someone with a closed mind and a small intellect. Probably Canadian.

@esotericmtndew Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one.

@esotericmtndew I’m actually of Irish descent. You are a wishful thinker.

@esotericmtndew Massive lost that election because he wouldn’t do what the voters in Kentucky sent him to do. It’s pretty simple. They didn’t need someone to spend money to tell them that.

[Stephen Daley @sd12602]

@esotericmtndew I’ve been voting for 52 years. I have never been in line to vote with any foreign currency, just Americans.

[Stephen Daley @sd12602]

@esotericmtndew @PeterPeterra Glad the US isn’t one. We were smart enough to establish a representative republic instead.

@PeterPeterra @jmthrivept “Independent media”…… that’s funny.
