It’s not shocking that under Biden, we fell out of the top 20.

    As long as people have enough, it doesn’t matter. We are not starving in this country.

      Who is “we”? And how much is “enough”?

      By implication, it seems “not starving” = “have enough”, but are you really only not starving? Or do you have several homes you travel between for business?

        I’m also educated, intelligent and I did the grind. The younger generation isn’t any of that. They complain about things like working 40 hours and having to go to an office. I did exactly what the republicans said to do and I was rewarded.

          I mean, that’s great, but so what?

          Charitably, I think you’re saying Republicans have a better understanding of the rules of the game of life, and following their prescriptions will probably lead to success.

          But the complaint of younger generation is why is a criticism of the game itself. Why do we need to grind? Why do we need to work 40 hrs and go into the office? Why do we need to endure toxic environments for success? After all, the game of life at the level we play it isn’t inherent in the structure of reality. Young people generally understand that work is necessary, food has to been grown. We strongly criticize the amount of work we do for bullshit reasons with very little compensation when there’s a lot of life outside of work we’d prefer to live in the best years of our lives.

            Why do we need to grind? Why do we need to work 40 hrs and go into the office? Why do we need to endure toxic environments for success? If you don’t understand the benefit, then don’t complain when you feel you’re not getting your piece of the pie.

            It is social Darwinism, survival of the fittest. Those who won’t adapt, die off.
