“We are more adaptive than we think.”

But that’s the problem. We don’t think about adaption. We are told the government will take the problem away so there is no need to adapt.

Late 40’s early 50’s I grew up on a ranch on the west coast. Temps got under O degrees in the winter and over 120 in the summer. Air conditioning or forced air heating didn’t exist then so we got coal burning stoves and then in time oil burning furnaces with both being delivered to the ranch. That was high class at that time. And kerosene stoves were just peaking around the corner.

Most of the youth today would be in a real hardship to be workable in those days as they have grown up with most of the changes made to get rid of the weather problems. Comfort has become an expectation and they haven’t been taught to think for themselves to get it on their own. It has been declared a “right” to receive anything.

“Comfort has become an expectation and they haven’t been taught to think for themselves to get it on their own.”

Elon Musk tells his employees they will have to work hard and a bunch quit.

I work with a bunch of Gen Zers.

Many are narcissists and their lack of work ethic is through the roof!!!

It’s unbelievable!

Were they raised by social media??

When they are in charge, we are hosed. (Although we may be hosed before that.)
