fact...nobody cares about anyone else for the most part.

Far too many want the government to take care of everybody, so they don't have to.

My father is in his mid-eighties and it turns my stomach to hear him actually say "well, I won't be around to have to deal with that."

That's not how he brought us up. I can't imagine leaving my kids (and hopefully grandkids) with my debt so I could live off the fat of the land.

Truly shameful.

If you like, I could offer my two cents on his thoughts, unless you might think I were trying to make excuses for him.

I predict Gen Z will be the next Greatest Generation. They will rise up and re-established the United States as a republic.

I hope that you are correct in your prediction.

I work with number of people who are included in "Generation Z". They could do what you forecast. Maybe they will.

I can’t talk to him about that, so your insight would be appreciated.

is this the same Gen Z that votes democrat?

A large portion of what Gen Z believes was planted there by leftist Boomer professors.

Glad to help as I can ...

My guess, such as it is, is that if he were closer to your age or to mine (I'm 49, for what that's worth), he would likely feel more energy, both physical and mental, to arm himself for whatever fight must lie ahead, in which we can make what recoveries we can.

He, however, being in his mid-eighties as you say, has likely grown tired enough, both physically and in disgust* with the State of affairs now, that he takes the Red Redding approach: "Stamp your form, and quit wasting my time, because to tell you the truth, I don't give a s---."

Thus my two cents; I don't know how well this helped, but I can only hope it did.
