Today’s teens are pampered little princesses and princes by their over indulgent parents. Work is a four letter word to them. Besides it would mean they’d have to take their noses out of the phones and that’s just a horrible terrible earth shattering idea.
I love the intellectually lazy attacks on the Millennials and Z. It’s the typical “not my fault” attitude of the Boomers. But the truth is, this is the fault of the Boomer middle class giving this country away of their decades of voting for “free trade” and “right-to-work.”
For decades you Boomers have been fooled by RINO politicians that serve international mega corporations. You voted for open borders to serve their interest like clockwork. As long as the candidate talked about the ‘free market” “the Statue of Liberty” and “Israel’ you faithfully went to the polls like good little sheep.
You never took time to look at the crippling damage the invasion of tens of millions of illegals was doing on this country. You never had to deal with the dangerous situations in our inner city public schools where young white kids were forced to ride busses and sit in class eight hour a day, five days a week, with dangerous third world illegal immigrants and hardened gangsters from the ghetto. You never took time to look at it because you were living a comfortable middle class life in the suburbs. You could send your kids to nice schools. You just kept voting Republican and voting for RINOs like Ronald Reagan to ship the manufacturing industry out of this country and import third world invaders by the millions.
Now, post 2008, you’ve suddenly woke up. Those dangerous third world illegal immigrants and hardcore gangsters from the ghetto are finding their way into your what was nice middle class neighborhoods. Your grandchildren are having to sit in class with them and are now subject to their vices. Some of you have grandchildren how are producing children with these people. So now, you are finally concerned.
But instead of being men, and for fear of being called racists or xenophobic, you point the finger at your own. You point the finger at the generation that gave you your stupid facebook and finances you five trips a week to the doctor for your recreational medicine. You’re made that you failed to save during the greatest economic period of wealth creation in history. Instead of saving, you were more concerned with petit bourgeois purchases like, boats, tacky vacations to Hawaii, and home remodels—all financed by the HELOC, of course. You too find a way to blame this on the boomers.
As a millennial, I look forward to the white Boomer middle class feeling some pain. It’s time you guys enjoy the 40 years of your voting for open borders, free trade, and forced racial integration. It’s time you pay for rejecting economic and ethic nationalism. It’s time for those poor “immigrants” you took sympathy on all of these years to finally move into your neighborhoods so you can enjoy the “diversity.”
Next time you drive through a fast food restaurant and you see a 40 year old Central American with gold teeth and tattoos serving you, give yourself a big pat on the back. You did it. You wrecked the country because you were too greedy, and too selfish to take a stand.
That might be true in certain areas, but in our area, it was very hard for my kids to get jobs after school. They had to compete against illegals and the hours that management wanted them to work did not correspond to school hours. Summer jobs? Ha, ha.
Oh one last point, when they did get jobs (one in a clothing store and the other at a subway store), they did not get regular hours. Rather, they had to call in every day and ask if they were needed. They only got work if the regular employee did not show up.
Unless you have a Parent (Dad) who makes you work to pay for your Cell phone/bill and any XBox crap you want. Grandson is 16 been working since he was legal to work, and works what hrs the gov’t will let a school age kid, summers are as many hrs as he can get. Spends nearly every dime too. But it’s not coming out of his Dad’s pocket. Needs lessons on Economics. Plans on Trade School when he graduates. Better start saving then.
