Demographic change probably has nothing to do with this since we are all exactly the same. sarc
Nihilism might have something to do with suicide and drugs.
It is tough to survive in the real world when you have a mantel full of participation trophies for half-assed attempts throughout your childhood.
There arent that many safe spaces in the real world, if you cannot create them yourself.
Seeking life’s answers in materialism is ultimately an empty dead-end.
Y'all gonn'a get sick o' me sayin' it, but it's true ...
public schools.
Greenie weenie, sexually confused empty skulls of mush have no desire to buy real cars and drive.
They stay in place and do nothing.
Americans have always been do-ers.
And we grew up dreaming of driving at 16.
They are having their patrimony eaten by low IQ manual laborers that are flooding this nation from every corner of the globe. Plus, they’re being taught that everything bad in the world is their fault and that they must be ‘agents of change’ to atone.
It seems the media is trying to explain the Life Expectancy Decline by pointing to Opioids and Suicides.
Not enough people are dying from drugs and suicides to affect Life Expectancy.
I suspect the real reason for the decline in Life Expectancy is the importation of millions of people from hell-hole countries who grew up underfed and over-diseased.
As a result these millions of new people now living in the USA will not live as long as those people who were born and raised in a clean and well-fed America.
Life expectancy should be "natural life".
So if you don’t suicide or do drugs (both a form of mental illness), your life expectancy is higher.
Destruction of the middle class thru mass immigration and disastrous trade policies.
No Jesus, No Peace. Know Jesus, Know Peace!
Thank a Democrat for removing FATHERS from The American Family and God from Schools and The Town Square.
And - thank the REST of us for allowing it! Grrrr!
I shared this article with my “friends” on FB. I’m sure half of my “friends” will block or unfriend me because it’s a serious topic that we all need to care about.
We have achieved John Lennon’s “Imagine”
No Religion
No Heaven
No Hell
No Possessions
Nothing to live or die for.
It makes life quite meaningless, especially if something goes wrong in it.
Make that “Some young americans”.
The “gig economy” is hell on workers — and getting worse.
More unintended consequences of all the crazy government rules that have been piled on hiring and firing regular employees.
So we lost a month, BFD:-)
Life is the same now as it ever was. The rules that govern us and this earth have not changed, so this is all predictable.
We prodigals just think we know best, so we go our own way, as though things would be as they really should be if only we remade the world in our own image.
However, we would do much better if only we would compare our understanding to the OEM's standards and re-calibrate where necessary.
Sadly, that isn't likely to happen without an Intervention or before more destructive corrections, because of what we are in these times.
An unspiritual person is one who does not accept anything of the Spirit of God: he sees it all as nonsense; it is beyond his understanding because it can only be understood by means of the Spirit; 1 Cor 2:14
I don’t believe many Millinials can see the future at all.
They can’t even see past.
They will accept that the elite class live and the NPCs die.
