“Respect your elders”

Nah they’re the ones who destroyed the economy giving free rein to corporations, set the planet on fire, and let cops run loose murdering and stealing as they please, fuck them

Not saying you’re necessarily wrong but “Fuck em” seems to be the new mantra of our society on all levels. Doesn’t bode well for the future.

That is because society on all levels deserves it. We need to stop with the expectation that people in certain jobs or positions deserve respect just because of their job or position. They only deserve respect if they earn it.

If they don’t earn respect, fuck em.

all levels

Healthcare is a level.

Housing the homeless is on a level society operates.

Crime prevention too.

You thought this through at all, or was this just a doodle on your trapper-keeper in homeroom?

It actually DOES bode well for the future.

The Boomers lived by “Fuck the future, I got mine now.”

We’re trying to change it to “Fuck the past, we ain’t got shit.”

I honestly don’t think little kids understand what people mean when they say “be careful”. When my kids were younger, I’d say something like “be careful the sidewalk is icy!” and they’d just run full speed and slip on the ice.

I think kids just think “be careful” is just something nice you say like “good luck”.

My company switched up retirement plans and they held a seminar to explain them. The person running the seminar said that we should be putting 15% of our salaries into retirement.

Nice idea, but if I put 15% of my salary into retirement, then I wouldn’t be able to pay my bills. I’m not living extravagantly or anything (buying something for $20 for my enjoyment seems like a splurge to me). Still, whenever I seem to be getting on a better financial footing, life throws me a curve ball. Need new hearing aids ($3,600). New a new dryer ($750). Might need a new car soon.

So either I need to be paid a lot more, I will be working until I’m 90, or I put away the money and go deep into debt but can retire. (Just kidding. I’m nearing 50. I likely won’t have enough to retire. Maybe when I’m 80.)

Better start working our way to a cushy desk job so we have somewhere comfortable to die.

If I ever told my dad, “are you shitting me?”, he’d reply with, “I’d never shit you, you’re my favorite turd.”
