I agree with him fully.

I have had a number of different jobs in my lifetime-—but I always worked.

I assembled air diffusion units in a factory...

I worked in a tire store—dismounting/remounting & balancing tires...

I sold auto parts & body shop supplies and delivered parts in & back from the machine shop on my commute...454 heads are HEAVY !!!!!

I worked in a machine shop grinding & polishing cylinder heads for better performance—night job after selling auto parts...

I worked as a grocery cashier...took every shift I could on a holiday, etc...triple time pay...

I worked in a night club-—night job after all day in an office...NOT a nice part of Milwaukee at night..

I worked a number of office jobs-—mostly doing accounting

I started at age 17 & am now 83.

Last accounting client retired this spring-—I did his books for 53 years....

I see an entire 40 year group of “UNEMPLOYABLES” and it isn’t going to help our future.

I see self-indulgent pampered brats who think the world owes them something.

I would not hire a single one of them....

Not even to water my horses or clean water tanks....

You sound like what we need a lot more of - someone with pride and a work ethic and those traits are being targeted and destroyed to corrode the base of western civilization.

and did you ever notice when you are “working”, doing whatever you are getting paid for, the younger set has heartburn with you?
I’m a very hard worker and i don’t sit around at work.
Younger female staff had a problem with me, mostly because i did not stand around whining about my latest anxiety attack.

Indeed!
My handyman side business is doing very well. I've raised prices and I still have to turn down work because of time limits.
I've had younger people in their 20's call me to assemble a desk (that cost them $125.00) for $150.00...
