I had to talk a close friend off the ledge the other night. His business is on the edge of bankruptcy. 20 years of hard work all gone. He’s making arrangements to sell off his equipment and will be lucky to get 30 cents on the dollar.

Two kids with special needs, a mortgage, and his wife got furloughed this week.

And there’s nothing I can do to help.

I’m done playing lockdown.

Just done.

Add This generation is NOT equipped to deal with the magnitude of being a bread winner and a parent. As soon as they can hand the baby to a relative, sitter or day care they go back to organized work. Instead of the chaos of raising a child, schooling them and making the little delinquent they created behave. Not equipped to deal with tantrums, trying to get them to eat, potty train them.

I see it in my grands, parents eldest did work 60-70 hrs a week, now 49 can’t find a managerial job, Type 2 Diabetic makes him a worse hire, even though he works his butt off; 1 soon to be 18 yr old worked since old enough. Youngest has a fear of job change, though he can work every dept in the steel cabinet factory he works at; has a wife in nursing school now furloughed for WU-FLU, and a 30 month old daughter, who is a picky eater and not potty trained, despite the lock down.

I had both boys potty trained at 18 months, worked too.You ate what was on the table or went hungry. My grandparents went through the Great Depression with 8 kids. 1 paycheck from shirt factory grandma made, grandpa had Black Lung, he supervised the kids and truck farm, couldn’t work, kids did. 2 boys 6 girls.

A few decades ago, just about any real conservative would have disagreed with that. Those problems are not caused by having a fat cash flow and losing it after neglecting savings and swimming in debts. They're caused by lack of self-discipline. Blaming others for those problems show a lack of responsibility and maturity.
