You have no f’ing idea what you’re talking about. I’m a Boomer, born in 1946, the official beginning year of the generation. I had a job of some kind every summer from the time I was ten. At one time, I had both a morning AND an afternoon newspaper route. Several summers I did field work. One summer I worked as a deckhand on an 85’ boat.
I worked all summer before my senior year undercoating new cars. Gruesome job but I was working. I could go on, I joined the Army when I was nineteen and went to Vietnam.
One of the biggest problems has been government interference. Labor laws make it nearly impossible for anyone under sixteen to work. I think it’s because immigrants (legal or not) get the jobs and our kids get the short end.
Both of my sons worked through high school. One in a seniors’ home at 16. The other worked at a tire dealer. Both are in their 30s now and doing well. My oldest grandchild is also working.
I could probably excuse your opinions on Boomers as you were not around in those years to know how we really were but calling Ronald Reagan a RINO is pure heresy. For that, you get the “Bone Stupid” award.
“I think it’s because immigrants (legal or not) get the jobs and our kids get the short end.”
Thank you for agreeing with me. It’s not that teens are lazy. It’s that they don’t speak Spanish, and therefore can’t work with the 35 year old Honduran “dreamers” at the local fast food joint.
“but calling Ronald Reagan a RINO is pure heresy.”
HAHA amnesty Ronald Reagan. Pro-outsourcing Ronald Reagan. Factor jobs fled this country under Reagan’s free trade policy that was codified by NAFTA. You Boomers crack me up with the Reagan worship. Trump is already far better than Reagan ever dreamed of.
Please do me a favor. Do the Boomer thing and irresponsibly take a second mortgage out on your home for a Hawaiian vacation so I don’t have to deal with your silly posts.
