manch has low self-esteem :scream: 40s and considered himself old-farts?

Unless you are a millennial you are automatically an old fart. :wind_face:

The oldest millennials are almost 40. :scream:

After just watching Channel 2 News’ “Priced Out” Bay Area housing segment, I believe if you own a home in the Bay and you are able to handle the mortgage reasonably well, you are doing great. This is a great area to live and so many people would love to trade places with you.

They think they can beat us, but certainly will not… :rofl:

That’s the issue with politics. People feel bad if their neighbor has more, and they want the government to make things more even in the name of fairness.

We should teach kids at a young age that life isn’t fair so don’t expect it. If you want to win, then be ready to work longer, harder, and smarter then your competition. It’s no surprise that socialism is such a popular idea with a generation where everyone gets a trophy. They naively think that’s how the world should work. They don’t realize that every day there are winners and losers. They don’t realize that if we make America more equal, then we will all lose. Foreign competition will crush us.

What happen if I’m born with a lazy bone, a dull brain and unable to work long hours physically but still want an equal share as those who can? I can’t change anything that is born into me. So it is unfair that I’m being punished for things that I have no control. God should be fair to each human being.

Then just invest into your favorite stock and hope for the best… :smile:

That is what I’m doing. I’m lazy, dull and weak. No choice but have to depend on TC & his company. Thinking of diworsification. Can I trust Mark & Sheryl or the eccentric Elon or Russian boys or some naturalized Americans. Any advice? Don’t tell me to do DD, FA and TA. I am a wreck, can’t understand those stuffs.

Uh, this is ground zero for Capitalism remember? Do I feel sorry for the homeless? Not really. I’ve worked since a teenager. I wake up every morning at 6am and go to work and sometimes stay to well past 10pm. Does anyone feel sorry for me? Nope, and I could care less about what others think, because at the end of the day I am ultimately responsible for my welfare and position in life. You want all the goodies and hot girls? Well, you better work your behind off because there is no free lunch in America.

Individualism and favors those who are born strong, and smart. So unfair for those who are not born with the right construct. What happen to the ideals of Private Ryan? Compassion is no longer in vogue? We no longer work for the greater good? No wonder, US is bullying everybody now.

Come on, my grandparents came to the famed Gold Mountain with nothing. No education, no money, no nothing. Tell me, how did they rise in what was a fairly racist society to own a property in the Fab 7x7? Blood, sweat and tears, my friend. Blood, sweat and tears…

Your analogy is off tangent. Born weak and dumb are still being stepped on.

Do you think this lady gives a sheet about someone sitting on the sidewalk, begging for food or money?

Old grandma subsisting on collecting cans is a society failure, not a strength.

Those who are born weak and no grit suffer. So unfair. God is unfair. If God is not going to treat each human being fairly, why born some humans to be strong, some weak, some intelligent, some dumb, some have strong grit, some weak… Either God meant for the strong, and intelligent to help those who are weak and dumb, all human beings should be born the identical.

Newsflash: there’s no god. :smile:

Life is unfair

Kennedy… Less a year before he was murdered. Prophetic

“There is always inequity in life,” he said. “Some men are killed in a war and some men are wounded, and some men never leave the country, and some men are stationed in the Antarctic and some are stationed in San Francisco. It’s very hard in military or in personal life to assure complete equality. Life is unfair.”

Again, I disagree. In this country, if you want to eat you have to work for it. I would rather have someone collecting cans or essentially trying than just begging on the streets for a handout. Go back to China if you want to be a bum. Not here…

I think you got it backwards. Stay in America if you want to be a bum.
