Look, everyone else had to work differently, and accept things like education, creativity and sensitivity as values. Why does the WWC think it's entitled to keep on going as they are? You like directness? Well I'm just going to say it for what it is.
- ChemicalWarfare 10y agoThey do accept education as a value and just like the parents of the author try to send their children to colleges. Although the skilled tradesman career path can potentially be more lucrative so there's that. Speaking of "sensitivity" - from my experience minorities (blacks, latinos) are actually more conservative/pragmatic and less "sensitive" in general. The only time they play the "sensitive" card is when dealing with whites, appealing to "white guilt" etc when justifying THEIR entitlement.
- dikdik 10y ago"and accept things like education" um, what? Boomers pummeled education into their children as an essential part of success. Now they get to witness their children with a lower standard of living despite "investing" many more years and dollars than they had to. If I had kids, I would be feeling pretty ashamed if they were being setup to have a crappier existence and shittier jobs that "require" a greater investment in education.
