odd as it may seem, many students who ran up $100k in debt to get degrees in the sociological semiotics of applied entitlement then got $12k in large scale tattoos are struggling to find zero carbon, anti-oppression work from home in your jam-jams careers that can both generate income sufficient to repay their loans and provide enough validation of “the all encompassing narrative of the me” to make getting out of bed worthwhile.
your donation of just $10,000 can really help keep these victims of inexplicable circumstance in avocado toast and ironic fair trade sneakers.
won’t you please help?
operators are standing by.
HAHAH, this video is genius. Spot on!

Oh, Eric, bless you! I just posted this, too! I remortgaged the house after watching this. Even now, the tears stream down as I watch...the need is so great.
You care. 🥲 You really care.
🤣😆😂
😂
Not a snowball's chance in he🏒🏒! F them all!
The first useful thing I've seen on TikTok in quite a while.
oohhh...... sooo, you see the tiktok..... i understand...... please, can you tell me more?
(sushing: sweetie, smile, walk backwards, fetch me the bat)
I wish I did not know anyone about whom this video speaks. Ouch! Hitting kinda close to home, Bad Cat!
Knew this broad that got a BS in Anthropology. There's nothing you can do with a BS in Anthropology. I wish I had a dime for every minute I had to be polite and listen to her bitch about not being able to find a job "in her field." In a rural area in the Midwest. 🙄 I soooo wanted to scream at her, "Get a useful degree." She was the sister-in-law of a good friend.....I kept my mouth shut. 😢
the problem with degrees is they aren't in trophy format
Trust me, it'll all get better when they finally get rid of that nasty, racist "testing" business! It's BS!!
Trophies would be to lofty. I am thinking participation award format.
Diploma?
That's pretty much what most of them amount to.
All the money the Fed has ever printed would not be enough to snap these entitled babies out of their delusions.
That is why they must starve first. The collapse of a great civilization is under way. Its plausible that the fastest way out is a war and purge of the entitled, the fat and the lazy, which will come eventually anyhow. Of course, starting this war is immoral as it gets, so what ends up happening is a slow decay.
I concur. My gut/intuition or whatever one may call it has been telling me the same for months. I do believe it will all turn around eventually, but it will be a slow and painful road for all.
I've often wondered how that would pan out. I think they'll find out in the next few years unfortunately - society seems to be heading towards volatile times.
They'll just surrender. Then spill their guts. Hopefully, they'll kill them.
They couldn't stand up to a stiff breeze. They might be able to stay on their feet if a slight draft pushed against them.
We're screwed
I ain't woke and I'm not fighting for these people either. I'd be more inclined to shoot leftists burning down my city than Russians invading a country they've been clashing with for centuries.
😂🤣😂🤣
And I despise the people that "raised" them.
Mortality among millennials ages 25-44, like the bearded, tattooed, ear plugged version of a man in the picture, is up 84%. Thank you, clot shot.
49, proud genXer, unvaxxed. saved by the bell, dodging the bullet. phew!
let them eat bugs >:)
Co-worker of mine, 30 y/o male, just caught cancer. Yes, vaxxed.
What type of cancer? My uncle has a bad lymphoma and my 39 year old brother got bowel cancer. All vaxxed...
You know how it’s said that ‘history doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes’?
In the 1960s, millions of young people dropped out, joined communes, advocated that everyone could live on just ‘peace and love’. Well, reality caught up with all of us eventually, and we went back to paths of productive employment (mostly) and worthwhile degrees.
Mine was in engineering.
Some kind of Reality will push millennials to ‘get real’ with life. The interesting mystery is, what will it be?
World War 3? Half their generation sick with vaccine-related adverse events? Hyperinflation followed by a Great Depression ten times worse than the 1930s?
I get the feeling that interesting times are coming, and millennials will be astonished that they were ever concerned about sushi and lattes - they’ll be busy loading ammo into weapons, or scrounging for anything edible from a garage can.
Then I will truly feel for their generation.
I don't think they'll make it as far as ammo loading. They will drop like moths. Like petals from flowers that bloom for a single day. Not all of them, of course. But quite a few. I only hope the loathsome vandals who desecrated the RAF Memorial last week in London will have the time to ponder what they did, before the monster they created destroys them.
It will take their enabling parents to kick them to the curb.
Will not be able to load ammo w/o a maglula; my donation.
You have one? Niiiice.
overstated. not believing millions went to communes. and not all or even most millennials are loser as portrayed. I have two daughters, millennials, who probably make more money than half the people commenting here. they are not in debt (I paid for most of their college). it is fun to flame other generations but it is cheap thrills. as a boomer I can recall how we were seen as spoiled, wastrels, lazy etc. oh, they are also purebloods.
I have two children, both millennials, who fit into the same categories you described. I didn't pay for their college, they did and they do not have any college debt and they much appreciate what the have EARNED. They do not intend to pay for their children's post secondary education as they found their experience to be a valuable like lesson that they should also teach their children. They would also make light of many of their millennial peers for the same reasons other here have. Probably get some cheap thrills from it to boot.
You are right - millions didn’t join communes, but millions certainly did ‘drop out’ and smoke a lot of pot.
I’m glad to hear that your children have turned out well, and you’re right, MOST of each generation does turn out okay. Most of us eventually get our heads together (although I certainly wish MY parents had helped pay for my degree). I think many people are just frustrated at having to pay (via Biden’s vote-buying) for things that we have had to pay for ourselves, like our college degrees. And for USELESS degrees, like ‘gender studies’! People wouldn’t mind investing in the next generations if it was money well spent!
agreed. In retirement I teach a couple of classes (Intro to Psych; I'm not a therapist bty). pretty good school overall. but the range of talent is very wide (no admission req, of course). 30% won't finish 2 yrs I expect. Fewer will get thru 4 yr college. I sneak in a "commercial" occasionally about useful and "less so" degrees and trades. these kids now are not millennials technically. I aksed the other day who has ever worked on a car. 2 of 40--one was a young lady. :)
That is also something that we taught our children, how to change oil, filters, tires and other basic maintenance as well as learning to drive with a manual transmission. That last one got them some work transporting cars for dealers!
Everyone here in Germany has to learn to drive with a manual transmission. I never got a rental car anywhere in southern Europe with an automatic transmission so we really need that skill over here....
In some respects Americans are truly lazy. I love a stick shift. When I was younger, I felt like I was a part of the car.
Or these "poor souls" (lol) can be urged to do the same thing they always tell us life long blue collar workers to do when our middle class jobs get shut down: "Learn to code".
Morse code? ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄ ▄ ▄
We'll need Morse code to communicate by short wave after the nukes arrive. 😉
Dah di dah dit Dah dah di dah
I only know S.O.S.
There's a page around here somewhere with the letters, but I didn't ever learn them.
😂 Hello, is there anybody out there?
No. --- That's too many letters to be: dah di dah dit dah dah dit dah
Ha ha...good eye! It is CQ.
Awesome! I thought it might be, "ok."
Knowing what it is and running it through my head fast, I think my Dad used to tell me that. (He was in the Navy, WWII.) SOS, being so easy to remember overrode it, I guess.
Or, if we don't play our cards right, after Big Brother takes over...
You mean like now? 😏
LMAO!
Thank you! I was afraid nobody would get it!
Well played madame. 👍
Brilliant! Background music makes it so ASPCA, I was waiting to see crying puppies in the snow. Where do I pay?!
YOU REALLY GOTTA APPRECIATE THE MUSIC! IT MADE ME CRY!😪😪😪😭
Rah rah ,Cis boom bah go school!!!!!!😁😁🤣🤣
Lol!
"Let's not fix the problem and take money away from colleges" Brilliant. Thank you, Gato!:)
I need to shake that creator's hand.
It was some malign creativity, for sure!
Left me all glowy.
IKR?!
We'll never have SCTV again but must manage as best we can.
In lieu of financial donation a copy of el gato's classic "in praise of lawn darts" would be helpful!

My sig oth (born 1943) remembers carrying his rifle to school. All the kids in the Gun Club did the same. It was no big deal.
Dude in a tie photo, that is totally a girls cut shirt!
Hilarious video!
They wear high-water jeans too!
Do you think they're aware that tattoos and humanities degrees are permanent?
Actually, with enough money, tattoos can be removed. The pervasive stench of those degrees however...
I never got the tattoo thing. Here in Tennessee tattoos are de rigueur. The worst thing is otherwise very attractive women war painted top to bottom.
The phenomenon reminds me of an old Richard Guindon cartoon from the late '70s where these two old guys are sitting there with drooping nose and earrings, and sagging tattoos with the caption reading, "Oh, I see you were an idiot in the 70s, too" or something along that line.
Friend of mine used to have his own tattoo-parlour, including piercings and stuff like suspension and such.
One thing he balked at was hipsters and local wiggers and kebab-technicians wanting russian gang & prison tattoos.
LOL. I nearly fell off my chair. That is funny as heck.
There was a hairdresser at place where I used to have my hair cut who had a tear drop tattoo on his face. When I was feeling particularly obnoxious I used to ask him how many people he killed as a hair stylist.
By Heimdal's nine mothers, how stupid can one get?
Funniest tattoo-mishap I've ever seen was more than 30 years ago. A guy had his own name tattooed on a scroll overlaying a rose.
Imagine his discomfort when men started trying to pick him up at the nude only outdoor bath he frequented.
How about those cool Japanese and Chinese characters that translate to "gullible white boy" -?
My prescient partner invested in stock for tattoo-removing machines. It's just a matter of time...
Penalty for fake tattoos in the Russian Underworld is death. So probably prudent not to get involved in “Stolen Valor” scenarios. If you are tattooed as a thief you are “honor bound” to make your way as a thief… same for a hit man. If you recognize no rules on your personal sovereignty you may advertise with a five-pointed star over the heart or on the knees.
Hence why my friend balked at doing those - some idiot sports what he thinks makes him "cool" and the real deal takes umbrage, it may well splatter others too.
He calls tattoos on the face and hands "I never wanna work"-marks.
Even cooler is the Māori Look all over the face where they not only jab you with the traditional bamboo tattoo needles but carve grooves first and then tattoo in the bottoms of the channels! The look that says “Hire me or your head is pink mist.”
Fascinating. And naturally I'm not even remotely curious about how you know all this.
The Chinese gangs on the West Coast and in the Kingdom of Hawai'i in the mid to late 19th century had some daunting rules. I have held a copy of one of their handbooks, which were in English as well as Chinese. Just about every little transgression was punished by death, often in extremely slow and nasty ways, and would include your family. And tattoos were a very big deal. And people think gangs today are scary.
I just happened to read about it in an anthropology magazine one time. Yes, fascinating. If you saw someone with a tattoo of a church roof dome it signified a ten year term, something like that. Your history was on your back. Many of us have had the mixed blessing of a very soft life so far. But who knows what aptitudes we may discover in ourselves as our roller coaster dips towards The Lord of the Flies and starts picking up speed? But if you ever find yourself stepping into a Russian prison, and you see a beautiful lace cloth on the floor in the doorway, be sure to step right on it and grind it slightly into the muck. It’s a test. I learned that one in The Gulag Archipeligo.
I read that so long ago, I'm afraid I don't recall the scene. I do remember the first time I read Kosinski's The Painted Bird, and decided I would never ever whine about my childhood again. A soft life indeed for most of us. Where I live in the wild west there are many guys wearing their lives on their backs. I've come to recognize prison tats.
Are you familiar with The Black Dolphin? The most dreaded prison in Russia. There are some docs out about it, fascinating but I suggest you don't watch any before bed. They don't mess around.
Yes, probably not a good idea to get involved with “stolen valor” gang tattoos. In the Russian Underworld a counterfeit tattoo wins the death penalty. If your tattoos say you are a thief, you are honor-bound to make your way in the world as a thief. Same for a hit man. I think the exception is a five-pointed star on the heart or knees. That means you declare you follow nobody’s rules about anything.
What about those gosh darn man buns?
Worst ever imo. That's all I saw last time I was in Nashville.
Nashville? OMG what the hell is happening to Nashville? Pretty f@cking sad! IMO.
They totally woked-out over the last 15 years
Shit! I should have guessed it by the way Country music is dying a slow death! It's painful to watch! Are we gonna have to change the name to WOKEVILLE?
Toss up between Wokeville and Doucheville
That's a tough one my friend!🤔
Man bun still sounds like a pastry to me.
Or the worst named Marvel/DC super"hero".
They are pastries. Light and airy ones!
Ha! Good one!

In defense of having long hair, yet confining it, he is correct - short hair is always on your neck. With long hair you can get it off the neck in hot weather and use it as a scarf in cold weather.
Seriously. Wtf!
JP Sears is one of my heroes. He was funny even before he doubled down on his politics.
JP's a genius if we can use that overly used and abused word. JP, along with people like gato, Riley ('Edward Slavsquat) Waggaman, and Jeff Childers have been crucial to preserving the little faith in humanity that I still have. If you haven't seen it already, check out JP's interview with Tucker Carlson.
Oh, I was glued to it, believe me. Two men who restore my faith in humanity.
Lol. Love ya girl.
You're good with these. Sorta like a savant...;]
You can put "idiot" in front of that and I won't take offense. =>}

The Man Bun/B.A. in Gender Studies combo is still a thing in my former northern suburb. I used to see these guys working as bartenders at hip pubs shilling I.P.A. or baristas in the local Starbucks. Of course, they're also in a band or dabble in IT. There's a song by The Dandy Warhols called "Bohemian Like You" that captures the ethos brilliantly, sans the Man Bun:
https://youtu.be/CU3mc0yvRNk
Exactly, but they think they're as hot as thousand July's
What kills me here in NorCal are the women "of a certain age" - and we're talking the majority - who run out and get a new tattoo every time they see a new wrinkle. Talk about mutton dressed as lamb...
How abouts the tramp stamp? That started happening when I was in college in the early 90's.
One of the best criteria to avoid girls with potential STD's....... sorry
It's handy, isn't it?
"As a person who taught at Sarah Lawrence College for thirty-eight years, I can't tell you what I've seen in the way of the transformation of the erotic morality of young women. Things are different, that's all." - Joseph Campbell, "Pathways to Bliss", 2004
They don't seem very blissful or even happy to me.
Some of it's crossed into depravity imo.
Oh yes. Sodom and Gomorrah revisited.
He was always very nonjudgmental. I had the privilege of having lunch with him once, as a young grad student in Hawai'i, just my friend who knew him, and me, and this incredible man with whom I was utterly in awe. We had Thai food, which he loved, and Mai Tais, ditto, and I sat there completely tongue-tied. Could scarcely utter a word. He had a good time nevertheless, in his eighties with two comely lasses falling all over him. Lovely guy, he was.
Having met and spoken with him when he was not on the stage lecturing, and then watching the videos of him in front of classes, my sense is that he was somehow channeling words from out this great, almost cosmic store of knowledge that he was able to tap into. I have been interested in mythology since childhood, for sixty years, and I've immersed myself in a lot of it. But could I, in a hundred years, speak as he did? Not even close. His ability to put all of our stories, our longing and our wisdom together into one long beautiful tale of our quest for truth and light - he seemed more than human to me. An avatar, if you will. A Jedi, disguised as a mild-mannered and unassuming professor. All without notes. Airborne, without a net. He was a Titan.
🙌 Oh, Praise the Lord, Ryan! I thought I was the only person on Earth that was still bothered by high-waters. Who wants to see their ugly shoes, socks and ankles?

Here's an idea. Offer to cancel the debt.
If the debtor first completes 10 years military service as front line infantry in the US next invasion.
Too much?
If I were king, they'd be first against the wall.
Total liability.
King Gardner does not balk at weeding out the fleurs du mal of his kingdom!
A little more serious, surely these people can be salvaged?

Could well be, could well be.
I'm very much stuck on the notion of community being a product of having to work together for mutual survival, where the obnoxious, spoilt and narcissistic eliminate themselves by being shut out by the ones managing to subjugate their egos and put their shoulder to the wheel.
On the other hand, people like me always used to complain us in pol sci and sociology weren't allowed to do large-scale behaviouristic experiements on humans, so the data that can be gathered from 1990 onwards will quite possibly be a tremendous boon to future social engineers.
Whether that is a good thing or not...
Let me sum it up; most of the people who work for me are in the millennial and Gen Z crowd.
Interview process is easy:
Rule out for pussy's.
So....none of them get hired, right?
You'd probably get right along with a friend of mine who managed a McDonalds for some 10+ years. Managed meaning he did all the paperwork, all the admin stuff an had to man the counter or kitchen too on top.
His interview question: "How many times did you have to burn yourself on the stove as a kid?"
Amazingly, a lot of people answered more than [1]. Even more Amazingly, a lot of them failed the secon question: "Do you know how to clean?"
Common denominator? Born 1990 onwards, with parents making more than average wage. The kind of adults who will happily go into debt to buy all the appliances they "need" for their "lifestyle choices" because "the first three years there are no payments and no interest, that's better than a bank loan!"...
Glad I never opted to become a math teacher, I'd have daily aneurysms.
😂🤣
There is a movie I saw in which the king’s fort is under attack by forces battering down the door of the fortress. The king is up in his tower watching. He turns to his son and the son’s gay lover and sneeringly asks them for advice. The lover misses his sarcasm and gives him some whereupon the king grabs him by the shirt and throws him out the window to the stone courtyard below. Is this what you mean?
Presuming you refer to that utterly exquisite scene in Braveheart. Is similar to what you describe.
Musta been. A tough-love lesson from Dad on how to be a King.
I cannot understand how people can continue to turn their backs on these pitiful young beings. Let me share something that also touched my heart. I re-mortgaged after I saw this. The need is so, so great, and after searching my soul, I found that I simply had to do more -

So are these celebrities? Huh, I don't know a single one of them. My life is really removed from all that. They do seem pretty funny, but I imagine it would be funnier if I recognized them. I watched TV recently for the first time in 38 years. I turned it off after ten minutes. I do enjoy Youtube videos, obviously...
😹😹😹
Hilarious!
THESE PEOPLE VOTE!!!
Voting doesn't matter when the entire system is like a vampire at our necks. Putting in a new politician, which is a parasitical species by nature, is like switching out one rivet on an aircraft carrier. It does nothing to change the actual system that exploits and destroys everything.
Agree 100%
You sure about that? ;)
Well they shouldn't be able to!
Irks me!
We probably wouldn't live in bizarro world if they were disallowed.
Wait 'til Auntie Nancy pushes through her "voter age 16" bill. Won't that be just swell.
You just wait - you'll soon see a push from the usual suspects about awarding parents votes for their kids.
Since the children are our future, their parents have the right to cast the children's vote on the childrens' future... or some other emotional Hindenburg.
LOLOLOL
Check Brian Dixon's link above to YouthRights org for a good laugh and a bloody good cry.
As they say,
Vote early and often.
And watch to make sure there's no tomfoolery
With absentee and early voting all you need to do is make a bunch of copies of the ballot and walk through the local cemetery for some names. :>>)
Too dead to be living...until elections.
Yeah, think about it. That's who votes for the $hit we have now.
i know why i don't like biden...

Back in my day when you got a useless degree like I did (art history) you KNEW it. Now these kids believe whatever their professors tell them. Time to dip into those massive university endowments, and administrator salaries.
Savage! I love it!
Hilarious!
I would donate a couple bucks to get that video on TV as an advertisement!
Yes!
Excellent points about the college degree, student loan, and debt forgiveness rackets, but I can do without the ageism I detect in some of these jokes about millennials. I'm of Generation X, but I'm also passionate about youth rights.
What, prey tell, is "youth rights"? In what way does "youth rights" differ from the UN's human rights, or the rights laid down in the US constitution and Bill of Rights?
And what the Sam Hill is "ageism"?
I think this is parody and according to el gato.....
https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/blurring-the-lines-of-the-woke-joke
Ah, thanking you kindly. Poe's Law is mandatory in today's age, yes?
On the other hand, I have had students talking about "specieism" for real.
If its not parody then perhaps Brian Dixon will get the point of el gato's article.
I hope it's parody... my son is barely a millenial( genz/mil cusp)...and he'd laugh so hard at this
My above comment is not parody, I assure you—although I have to admit I didn't choose an optimal occasion to bring up the subject of youth rights. This video is far from the best springboard to that discussion.
But since I cannot unring the bell, here's the explanation provided by the National Youth Rights Association:
https://www.youthrights.org/about/what-are-youth-rights/
Got through the initial blurb. Let me sum it up:
Entitlementitis.
Rikard, is it also "entitlementitis" when adults insist on those rights? If not, why not?
Well said. I'm slightly younger than you, but I don't know the names of all the generations, because it's fairly rare that I find generalising about their "shared experience" is useful.
One of the (few) nice things about the last couple of years is that it's made it crystal clear to me that I find common ground with people based on ethics, not age.
'We've got a live one!'
'Kill me....'
Hi Brian -
We're you born in 79 or 80 or 81?
BTW I still plan on answering your question about WW1 & WW2.
I was born in 1972.
When the time comes, you'll have to refresh my memory of my question.
The reason I asked that is because my wife had almost the same comment as yours the other day. And she was born in 79'. I thought it just might be the sentiment of someone who didn't remember the 70's.
Appears I was wrong.
Same age. I was born in early 71
most of these people cannot open an can with a can opener:

Better hope we don't have to go to war with China.
I'm 51. I'd rather do the fighting!
Love love love your descriptions of these woketards.
Needed this laugh. I know it’s actually sad that this is so funny but it was hilarious.
lulz, hilarious!
Also- the art work was a cat. Nicely done!
Speechless...
Priceless
Dying. 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for making me spit on my monitor, gato. You have surpassed yourself!!! Nobody made those idiots take out $300K in loans so they could major in Women's Studies, with a minor in Burning Down Portland! Genius once again, gato!!!
I almost joyfully posted that I didn't know anyone who fit this video (or the youtube a bit lower down featuring Millennials Int.) but then I remembered...
I know a young woman who semi fits. Her boyfriend however, is right there in the club. He comes from a very affluent family. When I asked 'what does he do', I was told that he had a job...online gambling.
Beautiful and savage.
This is why banks should be in charge of loans. They would loan to people getting degrees for which they will be able to actually pay the loans back!
The government? Sure... go study rainbows and their meaning, gender studies, social Justice and other majors that produce ardent Democrats! We don’t care if you won’t be able to pay them back... you’ll vote for us! That’s the payment Dems really need...
That was awesome! Hysterical!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍
At least they’re pretty slaves?
The best
It's funny. But isn't it true that this forgiveness isn't costing taxpayers anything because the amount of debt forgiven is less than the amount of debt created by capitalized interest on the original loans? The amount of the original loans to be paid back hasn't changed and the interest continues. These loans really are predatory and don't operate at all like a credit card loan, for example. You can pay more than the minimum plus interest on time every month, and still your balance will still go up because overpayments are counted as FUTURE deductions on interest -- unless you pay off the entire balance at once. That's what they told me when I called to find out why my balance had still gone up after paying more than minimum plus interest. And that's when I transferred the loan to a series of zero-interest credit cards as fast as I could -- and was able to pay it off fairly quickly.
🤣🤣🤣
OK... decision time. You're a High School student that's been accepted to a prestigious and very expensive University. You KNOW that you cannot declare bankruptcy as regards these student loans. If you sign on the dotted line, they are a lifelong debt. So... does it still make sense to attend the great, but unbelievably expensive, University ? This is a test.
I have no donations, only this cd with the world's smallest violin playing "my heart bleeds for you".
I need to figure out how to share this... my dig is getting pro at side-eyeing me as I cackle without a heads up. I tell her it's el gato malos fault...
Was this by chance...our gato malo starting?
" f'ing idiot" bwaaahaha!!
( dammit...the side eye again)
I work at a university that gives out those useless degrees. Funniest video I've ever seen. Now do one about the Professors who make 6-figure incomes for teaching those useless courses.
Glorious

Okay who's the guy in the tats? Come on who is it?
DYYYYYYING!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
This one made my day. Only remaining is: whom do they blame first?
The video is funny, but ironic considering he's doing precisely what he's mocking... he's probably aware of this irony though :)
I'm not sure about the tone of this blog post. While many former-students who benefited from the "cancellation" (subsidy) of student debts might be in favour of it, and I don't think they should be, I don't think this "entitlement" flag is the one we should be waving.
The reality is that the generational wealth gap HAS widened over the years, as has the wealth gap more generally, so the picture this post paints is easily challenged.
I think elgatomalo knows this, because elgatomalo has posted rather accurate accounts of how government / central bank interference is causing misallocation of funds in the economy, and is unfairly indebting the next generation.
I have noticed that the young (and that means children even into their 30's) are perfectly happy remaining children. Letting their years they should be working toward prosperity go to waste. They went to college, do nothing with their degree, work (maybe) meaningless, go nowhere jobs and sponge off their parents. Then feel resentful.
The generational wealth gap is the fault of the parents and the children. Gone are the days of the parents buying their children luggage for HS graduation and sending them out the door with well wishes and their looking forward to seeing them on holidays. You have to push birds from the nest if you expect them to learn to fly.
Having to pay the debts of others on any level really grates on my nerves. I look like a shreddy.
How do you get an insight into the attitudes of these people? Are these children of your friends etc. that you're basing it on?
I know a load of intelligent, ambitious, well-adjusted young people, but that's a biased selection because we try not to employ idiots at the company where I work.
"Having to pay the debts of others on any level really grates on my nerves."
I fully agree. I'm in the UK so I haven't paid, but I think it's deeply flawed just on principle.
I also disagree with the term. It's not cancellation, cancellation in my eyes is when the creditor doesn't get paid. I think in this case it's more "Take off the electorate and pay off the rich, because we know full well we're just about to enter a period where the borrowers (former students) will struggle to pay debts... so we'll steal it off everyone in anticipation."
My insight is from my own large family and from years of tutoring college students. Tutoring their parents usually paid for. SOME of the children (which are my nieces mostly) are in their 20's and 30's. Parents paid for college, for rent (still 10 years on), make decisions for them... Students I tutored occasionally laughed that I drove a car older than theirs. They thought that is why I charged them. So I could get a new car. I would laugh and talk to them the economics of driving an older car, paying of a mortgage early, not going into debt. I never told them I retired at 38/39 until the end. The reward. That paying for something makes it more meaningful and they should consider paying for this sort of thing on their own. Ya know, to start with.
I wholeheartedly agree that cancellation is the wrong word. You should know that the man who is your plumber or his children will be footing the bill for your laziness and stupidity.
On the other hand, I know of an older woman who refused to take unemployment insurance money because the felt she didn't earn it and other people needed it more. I had to practically badger her to file for it (she needed it and had paid into it). The generational gap of rugged individualism is far greater than the wealth gap. And far more important. There is a lack of shame these days. It should make a comeback IMO.
And thereby "earn" their "gratitude" in the form of votes. I've mentioned before the friendship I ended with the girl who told me she was voting for Hillary "because she's going to cancel my student loan". I guess everyone has their price.
I once voted for someone because they were going to grandfather in the legal drinking age for those who already had reached the age of 18. At least that is how I recall it. Haha. Everyone does indeed have their price.
I'd say that I am glad this is anonymous, but I'm pretty sure I would tell it on myself IRL.
"ironic fair trade sneakers".
Good for a giggle.
This was awesome! I am still laughing out loud!
Hilarious!
Omg we have them in the UK too 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the laughs!
This is hilarious!!!
I shall watch the video, but the photo of Tom Cruise with an Andrew Faulds beard brings to mind the ray Bradbury book, and the Rod Steiger film: "The Illustrated Man".
Funny stuff, gato! Keep it coming.
My generation created this monster.
The solution to this problem is obvious . . . more communism.
I like avocado on toast. Chopped tomato, soft boiled egg, a little chilli and a decent bit of salt and pepper. It's good.
They're not taking that from me!
THIS was GREAT!!! It was “Purr”-fect
It may be time to learn how to weld, Rebecca. Imma use that!

Some kids get real degrees and real jobs. The $10,000 helps to them to contribute to society more quickly.
"Why does the IRS need 80,000 armed staff?"
to guard all the ammo they stashed
the fbi can't be seen to have 4000 swat teams....
Look in a mirror!
87K.
Oh, it’ll get fixed quick when the Ponzi scheme ends in the West.
Hence all the frenzied activity by our overlords over the last 2 years to fix it where they remain in the boot while our faces are on the pavement. Forever...
Yep. Afraid we are all gonna find out what we are made of. Very soon.
Impending communism will fix this shit REAL quick...
Hmmm. Are you speaking presciently but 120 years out of synch, Anna?
Oh, and take a coach, not the train.
