If Trump delivers just 25 percent of what he’s promised, and doesn’t actively promote any major leftist cause, I’ll be satisfied.
“Safety pin generation”...so appropriate for these big babies.
They should be called the “diaper pin generation” to signify that they are a bunch of crybabies.
Can’t share the details but in my offline life I’m having some trouble with butt hurt snowflakes and they can do significant damage to one’s livelihood and reputation.
The campaign is over but many of us must remain in “combat” mode because the opponents continue to attack, and they’re doing it in guerilla fashion as if the winners are invaders. :(
See #7.
just how much of a drain on actual health care resources does the up to 26 year old cost ?
Other than self inflicted damage, the 18 - 26 year old age group should be pretty robust, health-wise, should it not ?
When I was that age, most of my peers in NYC had absolutely no health insurance - they were actors waiting tables generally. I don’t remember one of them ever being sick outside of a cold.
No one who is being carried as a dependent on another’s taxes or insurance (unless disabled) should be allowed to vote.
If you want to claim status as a child, own it.
But their contributions pay for broken down old folks, like me.
They need to participate, so the parents do the paying.
>>In Wisconsin, the slacker mandate covered not only adult children, but also the children of those “children” if they lived in single-parent homes.
Which will of course tend to increase the number of single parent homes, which is always a good thing, right?
Who comes up with these policy ideas? Of yeah, Leftists (of both parties) without a clue about practical economics and human behavior.
By the age of 26 I had been half way around the world twice, was an E-5 in the Navy, and recruiter in charge of a 3 man recruiting station. I can’t understand where this 26 year old dependency BS comes from.
Now that we know that approx. 2/3 of anti-Trump protesters and rioters didnt even vote in the presidential election, maybe those of us who did vote should treat them with a civil indifference because its legal and also because we shouldn’t care. All they have demonstrated is that they are not willing and/or able to put as much into life as they seem to expect to get out of tax-paying American citizens.
“Generation Snowflake”
No two “snowflakes” are NOT the same!

Not that much; this is true. More importantly, IMO, there are the principles involved. One is, that this age group was to be targeted and viciously snaked; by forcing them to pay into a warped system with the idea that since they would NOT draw on the system so heavily, that their contributions would be “free money” for rest of the system. Then we get into the notion that since they do not draw on the system much, let’s further force them to buy the same coverage a 60 y/o person would want or require. Then we could discuss that because we force them to buy deluxe coverage, employers will in effect reduce their wages or never hire them in the first place, as they become more expensive employees. Then, because they are earning less, their contributions become more onerous as a fraction of their earnings. This is targeting and “disproportionate outcomes” writ large. As a society, then, we are diminishing both the prospects for our younger members to achieve productivity and their own economic freedom. And then claiming we are doing something really, really cool. It’s a monstrous lie.
The ACA IMO has to be viewed not as a single dimension “oh this is good for that” bumper sticker, but as a rat’s nest of laws and directives written and imposed in the name of a liberal single-dimension mandate. It is a serious dent in so-called societal “progressivism” written in the main for the purpose of government taking over 1/6th of the overall economy. It is a piece of 85% negative, 15% positive vicious statism when viewed in terms of its overall effects. All of which were predicted in great specificity by some of the adults and lauded as a utopian outcome, looking only at the 15%, by the gimmes. This is a very standard and hackneyed characteristic of any number of these Marxist overlord deals.
