Not doomed at all

My two sons fall into that “generation” and they camp, fish, shoot guns, build and fix stuff with me.

They say please and thank you and know what’s it’s like to work hard and also what it’s like to fail.

Sure, they like tech, video games and such but it’s all in moderation.

Take care of your own.

I think it's stupid to name every generation and label them. What was the 1840's generation labeled? 1860's? 1870's? 1880's? 1890's? and why were each different and why did each of those generations fuck each other over? They didn't because they were not taught to do so.

This sort of division is brought on by the left in order to divide and conquer and those that take part in it are sucking the left's dicks.

Same people that taught us to hate each other by class, by race, by gender, etc. are now telling us to hate each other by the fucking year you were born...it's fucking stupid and needs to stop. Let's hate each other for one more thing thing that we had no control over like the year we were fucking born or race we were born...same BS.

But yeah I hate every motherfucker not born the same year as me...totally logical. Think about it.

My experience from working in the schools is about 1/3 are not sure of their gender. Most cannot compete with their parents cellphones and have had multiple "dads" or no dad. Parents who care about their kids future do their homework for them. Most parents I deal with are offended when a teacher takes their kid's cellphone away and doesn't believe that teachers have that right or the right to discipline their asshole. There are some great kids though I'm not sure if they just seem so great next to the blue and green hair melodramatic "theys" or if they would have been common in my kids generation. But there is hope in about a 1/4 of the student body.

Okay, can we just get over NOT MY KIDS and how everyone on GD is raising the top .0001% of the smartest kids in America? We all know GD parents are the best (they hate school and rules like don't drive a giant ass trailer through parking lots the wrong way TEACHErS ArE DuMB). Let's focus on normal kids for once.

Here's the beauty of it though. Those normal kids won't be able to complete basic adult functions, making my six well adjusted homeschooled conservative Christians extremely high-demand assets. They'll be able to set their own salaries, and eventually rule the world.

People ask me why I have so many kids. I tell them it's all part of my plan to take back America. This country will need real leaders again one day - there are a lot of dragons out there. Let's raise some dragon slayers!

Ive got two zoomers and one alpha. All of them think that the current crop of kids is pretty gay.

Maybe them not having smart phones, no social media and less than 5 hours of screen time a week has something to do with it.

I've said similar here before too, that generational warfare is stupid. Every generation blames it's problems on the ones before it, but they ain't gonna fix the world, and even if they do fix some problems, they're gonna create new problems of some flavor for future generations who will turn around and blame them. Unintended consequences and all that. It's fucking silly. I suspect it's just how life works. It certainly isnt productive to get all salty at each other. No generation PURPOSELY fucks over the next ones. Humans aren't perfect.

That said, I do believe we are failing the upcoming generation in the area of education. Standards are low and they're falling behind. I know not every school is like the one I work at, but if even 1/3 of them are we're gonna have serious problems a couple decades from now. But I blame the fucking COMMUNIST FUCKS for that. Ah hell, I blame a lot of parents too.

Check credit cards and I have $25 left to spend which is just enough for a Starbucks and Avocado bagel.

Get into early 2000's Ford Fiesta with rear window covered in Superhero, Palestine and BIPOCLGTBTQIA+++ stickers and instantly back into my elderly neighbor.

She proceeds to berate me for not looking at where I'm going but SHE saw that I was in the car so it's her fault.

Roll down my window and yell OK BOOMER at the top of my lungs and drive off.

Get to Starbucks and have hots for the cashier.  She is also a millenial but she never shows up on Tinder so I have no way of getting to know her. It's my turn to order and remember what my therapist said to be confident and yell "EXTRA GRANDE AND AVOCADO BAGEL"

While store looks up at me and she takes my order and tells me my total is 24.95.

Tells me to enjoy my latte and toast and I go "You too"

Definitely had a connection and will look extra hard for her on tinder tonight.

12:30 and Im ready to start the day and get to my marketing job at Big Tech Marketing Co.

Have huge writers block because I can't think of 10 things that make linkedin a great social networking tool.

Take a break to smoke some pot to get my creative juices flowing and feel a lot better.

2:45 and I'm back in my seat ready to knock this list out but just 15 minutes later I've only added 2 items to my original 3.  get frustrated and decide to take a lunch break.

Crap my credit cards maxed out.

Steal Michelle's lunch and write an IOU.  

What the hell even is this.  It's bread with some kind of meat in the middle.

Take a bite and toss it out.

Call my mom and ask for some money for lunch but my dad catches her and says ABSOLUTELY NOT.

He's such an asshole. Tell him that I guess he wants me to starve to death and angrily hang up.

Feels.jpg.

Make it back to my desk and it's 4:00 and the days almost over.

Some boomer fuck walks in and days he has a big announcement.

Says that we haven't been able to push out enough articles and a new tool can write our articles for us.

Our office will be closed down and we will receive 6 months pay as severance.

Wow what an asshole.  Blame him for creating a toxic work environment and state that he will hear from my lawyer.

Get home crying see that my 6 months severance has been paid out already.

Book 6 month backing trip in Europe which eats up all my severance.

#I deserve this

Dad calls me and says he was sorry to hear I got fired.

Tell him it's okay and that they paid me 6 months severance which I will be using on a backpacking trip.

Hits the fuckin roof and tells me that I've maxed out my cards and that I still owe them 14,000.

Cannot (but can) believe his toxicity and tell him I don't need that in my life.

Hang up phone and start looking for Starbucks gal on Tinder.  Only a matter of time.

A day in the life of a Boomer.

Be me.

Boomiest of Boomers.

Hate wife.

Work same Union job that I got out of High school.

Drive 1 of 55,000 Limited Edition Mustang Convertible in Raving Yellow with 6 Cylinders of THROBBING American horsepower.

Drive in to work at 6 am to rearrange paperwork from alphabetical order into historical order.

See fellow Boomer Robert "Bob" Hopkins and proceed to spent hour chatting about how Sports are so much worse than were in our day.  

8 am the first millenial FINALLY makes it in.  "Good to see you part timer!"  Bob laughs so hard he farts.  Millenial rolls his eyes like they all do.  

9 am and it's time to start the line up.  Line starts moving and spend a SOLID 45 MINUTES inspecting the parts as they go on by.  Not a single out of spec part makes it past me. Record is so good that the last out of spec part I found was in 1994.

945 and it's time for a 15 minute smoke break.  See millenial again and start playing ACE OF SPADES at full blast on my phone.  

"BETCHA WISH YOUR GENERATION HAD REAL MUSIC LIKE THIS"

Millenial again rolls his eyes and heads back in.

10:30 and its time to check my hours for this week. Check hours and sure enough it's Tuesday and I already have 12 hours from yesterday and 4 and half hours from today at $40 per hour.  Well on my way to another PRODUCTIVE 60 hour week.  God damn millenials can't be bothered to show up fro more than 40 hours.

11:00 and the lines going at full blast. A huge amount of parts are sitting there waiting to be inspected.

The fuckin millenial didn't shut down and now I have to shut down everything down and inspect the parts.

Berate the dumb mother fucker at full volume since he knows that the line should have been slowed down when the parts started to build up.

Responds "Ok boomer".

Not In My Fucking Shop.

Absolutely tear into him and call him an entitled little shit.  Tell him I've been on this line for 40 years and have never heard such disrespect in my life. Get Bob the supervisor who fires him on the spot.

Go to lunch at noon and pull lunch pail out with Ham Tomato and cheese sandwich.  Bob comes in and we talk about how lazy this generation is and how without us the would be completely helpless. Bob says he was so glad to be rid of that "renter" since he kept throwing the line off with all his bad timing and this was the last straw.

Ha. "Renter".  That's hilarious.  I'm going to call my son that when I get home.

2:30 hits and we have to clean up the mess the Renter made and it's going to take the rest of the day to get all the parts out.

3:15 hits and I pop into Bob's office for a drink and we reminisce about the time when we had to fight for our pensions and the union was able to guarantee 75% of salary after retirement.  He pulls out a bottle of whiskey and we share it celebrating our hard fought win.

Finally it's 530 and about time to wrap up the shop.  Leave Bob's office and the Renter fucked up do bad we won't be able to finish it today.

5:45 and some corporate suit walks in. Looks like another one of those renters.

Gathers all of us in the room and says they are closing the plant because it's not productive or profitable enough to keep open.

Doesn't matter because I've got a full pension and social security.

Leave and head to favorite restaurant Applebee's with horrible wife.

Call the waiter a Renter and laugh so hard I pee a little. Tip 5% and leave a note about how the harder you work the more you earn.

Put the top down in Convertible and drive home with Crazy Train going full blast.

Get home at 8 and hit the hay.

Another great day of the greatest Generation.

What kind of challenges are you running into?

They could barely read when they came to us (ages 7 and 9, and I’m talking baby’s first words board books reading level). They cannot connect actions and consequences.  Basic predictive modeling (i.e. I see rain clouds on the horizon moving toward me, so it will probably rain soon) completely escapes them. If it doesn’t involve a screen, they have serious difficulties figuring out how it works. They cannot tie their shoelaces such that they stay tied for more than a couple minutes. The younger one couldn’t tie them at all when he came to us, and he still needs to be reminded to use toilet paper and wipe his backside after he drops a deuce. Serious issues with uncontrolled impulsivity.

Look in the mirror and my right arm which is covered in my favorite quotes and characters from my childhood.  My Star Wars quotes are starting to fade and I'll need to get them redone before too long.

Check credit cards and I have $25 left to spend which is just enough for a Starbucks and Avocado bagel.

Get into early 2000's Ford Fiesta with rear window covered in Superhero, Palestine and BIPOCLGTBTQIA+++ stickers and instantly back into my elderly neighbor.

She proceeds to berate me for not looking at where I'm going but SHE saw that I was in the car so it's her fault.

Roll down my window and yell OK BOOMER at the top of my lungs and drive off.

Get to Starbucks and have hots for the cashier.  She is also a millenial but she never shows up on Tinder so I have no way of getting to know her. It's my turn to order and remember what my therapist said to be confident and yell "EXTRA GRANDE AND AVOCADO BAGEL"

While store looks up at me and she takes my order and tells me my total is 24.95.

Tells me to enjoy my latte and toast and I go "You too"

Definitely had a connection and will look extra hard for her on tinder tonight.

12:30 and Im ready to start the day and get to my marketing job at Big Tech Marketing Co.

Have huge writers block because I can't think of 10 things that make linkedin a great social networking tool.

Take a break to smoke some pot to get my creative juices flowing and feel a lot better.

2:45 and I'm back in my seat ready to knock this list out but just 15 minutes later I've only added 2 items to my original 3.  get frustrated and decide to take a lunch break.

Crap my credit cards maxed out.

Steal Michelle's lunch and write an IOU.  

What the hell even is this.  It's bread with some kind of meat in the middle.

Take a bite and toss it out.

Call my mom and ask for some money for lunch but my dad catches her and says ABSOLUTELY NOT.

He's such an asshole. Tell him that I guess he wants me to starve to death and angrily hang up.

Feels.jpg.

Make it back to my desk and it's 4:00 and the days almost over.

Some boomer fuck walks in and days he has a big announcement.

Says that we haven't been able to push out enough articles and a new tool can write our articles for us.

Our office will be closed down and we will receive 6 months pay as severance.

Wow what an asshole.  Blame him for creating a toxic work environment and state that he will hear from my lawyer.

Get home crying see that my 6 months severance has been paid out already.

SpongbobIdea.gif

Book 6 month backing trip in Europe which eats up all my severance.

#I deserve this

Dad calls me and says he was sorry to hear I got fired.

Tell him it's okay and that they paid me 6 months severance which I will be using on a backpacking trip.

Hits the fuckin roof and tells me that I've maxed out my cards and that I still owe them 14,000.

Cannot (but can) believe his toxicity and tell him I don't need that in my life.

Hang up phone and start looking for Starbucks gal on Tinder.  Only a matter of time.

Another great day of the greatest Generation.

In my view a polarization is occurring.

The parents who are red pilled now are raising their kids in deliberately more traditional homes.

The parents who have no idea of the evil at work in our nation are raising feral iPad addicts

They are making progress. The older one has made serious strides on learning to read and is almost at grade level now (her current grade level; she’s already been held back a year). I’ve had to fight like you wouldn’t believe to get the younger one evaluated for a sped plan. Even hired an Arfcommer’s wife as an independent advocate when the school pushed back and was refusing to do the needful. He is making progress, but not nearly at the rate of his sister.

I’ve been working with them on handwriting (print and cursive) along with basic geography and reading at home to supplement their school curriculum.

There is going to be a MASSIVE crime wave in about 10 years.

The tail end of the Gen Z kids currently in high school are generally okay. They are on their way out, however...

The current crop of Gen Alpha in elementary school now and beginning to enter middle school are a total shit show. 1/3 are just absolute delinquents, 1/3 are apathetic to anyone or anything around them so long as you don't touch their iPad/cell phone, 1/3 are decent kids. I've never seen such a bad crop.

"But not MY kids!" is great until the crime wave is coming. Poor socialization, shitty "gentle" parenting, no school consequences by school boards and administrators, and lack of FAFO will be a problem for everyone.
