They're ignorant. The root word of Ignorance is "ignore". It's not that they haven't learned anything, they refuse to learn. It's actively staying stupid.
@@pancakes8670 "Ignorance" comes from Latin by way of French, meaning basically "not knowing." Yes, sometimes people think it has something like the meaning you ascribe to it, but in general it just means _not knowing_ something (as opposed to having had a chance to learn and not having taken it). We're all ignorant when it comes to everything we don't know. Ignorance isn't the problem, _willful_ ignorance (i.e. choosing to continue not knowing) is the problem.
10:10 fun fact: the saying "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" derived from the saying "pulling oneself by the bootstraps", signifying an impossible task, as you can't pull yourself by the bootstraps.
It's always funny when a saying or phrase gets completely flipped on its head to mean the opposite by idiots parroting it with no context or understanding of what it means.
It is an old mining term: when someone fell down a mine shaft, and couldn't be reached by rescue, they were told they had to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. It meant they were doomed.
22:22 - professor John Green once said: "why I don't mind to pay school taxes even if I have no children school age? because I don't want to be surrounded by uneducated people 😂
Precisely! I'm safer if my neighbors' kids get a quality education and keep out of trouble. It's pretty simple. 🤷♀️ Same thing with social security and health care. If we are all healthy, educated and more secure, regardless of background, then people don't have to turn to crime to survive as much. And then the whole of society is safer as a result.
The easy answer to people who don't think they should pay school taxes is: "Do you use any educated professionals for anything? Do you have a doctor? A lawyer? An accountant? Have you ever had your plumbing fixed by someone? Do you read or watch any sort of journalism? Do you read books (haha, I know the answer to that is no, but still) or watch films and TV series? Do you ever fly anywhere? Do you drive a car that you built, or that you trust was built properly by other people? Do you expect buildings and bridges to be structurally sound? All those people that you rely on for each of these things, would you like to eliminate those from your life, or do you think they shouldn't be educated before they perform a service? Or maybe you benefit from their education, Karen, and you should continue to pay for the education of the people who make your life possible."
I'm childless by choice and I have no problem paying taxes for schools for exactly this reason, and I don't want to age into the only doctors left being the large adult sons of rich people who got into school by being legacies.
The way I look at it is someone else paid taxes for me to go to school, and now I'm paying that back. It doesn't matter that I don't have children of my own attending school. Everyone goes to school as a child, and everyone pays some tax that goes to pay for schools later.
I've seen these same people try to equate terms like "cis", "karen", and "boomer" as slurs like the n-with the hard r. They want to be victims so bad while claiming everyone else are snowflakes.

Yeah, it never fails to weird me out when Boomers™ call younger people "Millennials" when the oldest Millennials are in their 40s now and the oldest people from Gen Z are 27.
Yeah it is so weird, like someone told my i was lying that a lot of gen alfa was now in their young teens, they litterly yelled at me gen alfa can't be older then 4 years old. Yes their are people from gen alfa what are 4 and younger, but gen beta will be born in 2025, so in about a few weeks. Gen Z are the late teens and young adults and millennials are now the a bit younger then middle age parents and the cool aunt/uncle who spent some time listening to your grandkids hobbies, so you don't have to.
The Veteran Yard sign one just reaffirms my belief that Conservatives actually hate Veterans. Veterans aren't strictly a right-wing demographic, they're pretty mixed. A lot of times they even tend to screw left-leaning because it's often the Conservative Politicians who screw them over and they remember it. We need to stop pretending like Conservatives are pro-Veteran, they're not. They hate Veterans, they hate what Veterans represent. They might say "thank you for your service", but in their minds you should have never come home. You should have given your life for the country.
My oldest nephew voted for Trump and was legit blindsided that his LGBT+ friends got mad at him. I don’t think he’s hateful, he’s just a privileged white kid from a conservative family who’s just barely left home and doesn’t understand the scope of these things. I’m trying to help him come around, the way I had to a long time ago.
He's hateful. He voted for hate. Being sheltered doesn't excuse voting against your "friends" rights He's just not used to there being consequences for being a shithead, and instead used to family members who shrug and say "he's just sheltered"
@ These are all things I’m trying to get him to understand. What he’s actually used to is family members wholeheartedly agreeing with him. I’m the one calling him out.
Literally, all you said was that he voted for Trump, yet you're bringing financial wealth, race, and other unnecessary details. What rights are my fellow LGBTQ people losing? We can vote, marry, and have jobs.
@@8onnie8oyzAre you kidding me?! 1) There has already been a massive rise in anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric and crimes, which Trump has helped to cause, leading to states like Florida banning even the mention in schools of LGBTQIA+ even existing even if that prevents a child talking about their own parents. 2) The Republicans have made no secret of the fact that gay marriage is their next target after reversing Roe v Wade, along with other things they deem to be immoral like contraception & IVF! Most if not all of the LGBTQIA+ community in the US is rightly terrified of Trump becoming president again. You are at best complacent.
9:00 the reason older people are so rude and younger people aren't is because we have different concepts of what respect means. Older people think respect means "treat me like an authority" instead of "treat me like an equal"
That's what I came here to say. I used to have a family member like that that would prattle on about respect and my answer every single time was just 'do something worth respecting then' lol.
Reminds me of the post someone made once where they pointed out these two meanings and then went on “and when they say ‘if you don’t respect me I won’t respect me’ they mean ‘if you don’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person’”. What people mean by “respect” is inconsistent depending on who’s speaking and who they’re speaking to.
@@destructocat1960 when I worked retail, I found that every generation could be rude or nice, but the seniors were the top of both categories. Some of the sweetest people I ever helped were seniors. And all the worst were also seniors. They were the type to yell over absolutely nothing. The other gens would say something rude and leave the seniors that were rude would let you know the world was falling apart and it's your fault.. the nice ones would would let you know you made their day better and that they appreciate it.

It's not even about being "bad with money" when the American financial system punishes you if you're too fiscally responsible too. I'm in my late 30s and if I want to buy a car, I'll have no choice but to go to one of those car lots with absurdly high interest, since I have no credit. I'm a "ghost" because I've not taken out loans or had any credit cards, which is worse than having bad credit. Because I was taught to live within my means and not buy things I can't afford. The American financial system rewards living just above your means, unfortunately...
That's where you have to work the system a bit. Take out a loan for something you don't need a loan for, pay it back on schedule - bingo, you have a credit history. Talk to a financial adviser about the best sort of loan and payback period to do this with minimal interest and fees expense.
@@tealkerberus748 from what I hear, that won't work either. At least not as well as having an active loan ongoing at all times. Paying off your loans on time means you're not profitable to lend to, which means you get a lower credit score. You're back at square 1 unless you have a few loans to pay off at any given time
I'd recommend you get yourself a "credit builder" card. You pay them a deposit of a couple hundred bucks, and "borrow" against that balance. It's reported as a credit card, so your credit score will go up so long as you pay the purchases off on time. And if you successfully reach a certain threshhold, they give you the deposit back and upgrade it to a real credit card. My hubby did this when he moved in with me. Over the course of just 2 years, his credit went from the mid-500s (kinda bad) to 700 (good). That can be the difference between getting declined for an auto loan at anywhere that isn't super shady and having companies falling over themselves to convince you to use their loan above anyone else's. Starting from no credit instead of poor credit should make it even faster for you. What I taught hubby to do with that credit builder was to pay off anything he bought immediately. Don't pay the minimum, pay the whole balance. You'll never pay more than what you bought if you don't let the card accrue any interest. And if you already have the mindset of "don't buy anything outside my means" you'll probably not overreach anyways. If you're worried, keep a log in your phone to track everything you've bought each week/month and keep yourself in a financially viable budget (or just use the card's app- most of them have auto-updating purchase logs). Also- use it to buy things you need anyways. Use it to pay off a utility bill or buy the weekly groceries. Your credit will improve very quickly. That said- make sure the builder card and the credit card it upgrades into don't have a yearly or monthly fee. Those are fairly uncommon nowadays, but watch the terms for one anyways. They're just a money sink for no reason. There are plenty of other cards to choose from that don't charge you for the priviledge of having a rectangle of plastic with their logo and your name on it.
"Seniors over 55 years old should not have to pay school taxes. We do mot have any children in school." I came along when my dad was 39, and he was 41 when my sister was born. Dad was FIFTY-FIVE when I was in high school. Christ, some people are stupid. My dad was a boomer, but not the moronic kind
My dad would've been in his late 60s by the time my sister graduated. And even if these little baby old people had grown up kids, they likely have grandkids in school or going into school.
I'm 42 at the end of December, I have a 12 year old, a 7 year old, and a 1 year old. Hopefully my various forms of birth control don't all fail at once again, because having a minor child until I'm 58 is more than long enough.
Also my reaction to this was that if "old people" don't have to pay taxes for school then young people don't have to pay taxes for any type of elderly care 🤷
Thank you. As a queer mentally disabled older woman who lives in the US, I truly needed this. I needed to laugh at all this before I explode with anxiety.
If you ever need to vent, you've got an ally here. I've got a long list of chronic health issues and if I lose my Medicaid coverage, I'll be totally screwed so I'm literally terrified right now. But we're not in this alone, no matter how it may feel at times. ❤

13 years ago when I was still in uni here in Germany, a bunch of Yale Students stood in front of a women‘s dorm and chanted „no means yes, yes means anal.“ It really hounted young me for a while and impacted my trust in society, even so I am on another continent. I have been thinking about that incident a lot in the last weeks. It feels very similar.

37:56 At first they came for, is a poem by Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller lamenting/repenting how he failed the tenants of his faith & morals after living through the horror of 1930-40s Germany. "First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me." - _Martin Niemöller_
And to anyone wondering why _those_ are the groups he mentions: because that's the order the Nazis ate their faces in. All other groups were only rounded up after he was already in prison (in 1937). And the Catholic Church made a deal with Hitler (the Reichskonkordat - which is still in effect, btw).

@@lagmonster7789 Yes. I heard a relatively cogent theory that there are so many conspiracy theorists these days because everyone spends so much time playing video games that on some level they've begun to believe that every little thing must be part of a larger story. They've trained themselves to look for the most tenuous of links between unrelated things.
@@FunkyLittlePoptartSee I wonder about that because my mom doesn’t connect the pieces of the story together in many games both of us have played, yet she’s the conspiracy theorist now. Meanwhile I might believe a couple of conspiracy theories (like the one that MLK was assassinated instead of simply murdered), but I have a very solid grasp on reality, while simultaneously drawing all kinds of crazy connections in media and overanalyzing them for fun (like how purple is gay, gay men in New York wore red ties, and that’s also the main color scheme used in JJBA part 1 for Speedwagon, so combined with a lot of other story elements that makes him seem gay to me, and I don’t know if the primary pallet is coincidentally that way or if somebody at David Productions knew this stuff too).
... I used to be afraid of becoming an insufferable toddler when I become an elder but alot of it has to do with the kind of person you choose to be your whole life. I have a granny who had a stroke, now she's on back on child mode for a lot things which is sad but she was the sweetest, genuinely kind people before this happened and that hasn't changed despite the health/mental challenges of old age and her not being able to talk anymore. Though is sure it's frustrating for her 😞 *Some* of these elders throwing tantrums over pizza and parking spaces concern me since they were probably always like this and it's just gonna get worse as they age.
Yep. My spawn tried to force me to have a relationship with my evil grandma once it became clear she had dementia (well clear to them, it had been obvious for at least 5 years to me) because "but she can't remember". Like don't care, I can and I'm not gonna pretend to like her just because she can't remember she treated me like shit. I regret spending as much time with her as I did. Meanwhile my awesome grandma? Called her at least once a week, visited every couple weeks to spend time with her and help out around the house (and more often if I could manage it), and loved to talk to her. I regret not spending more time with her and I spent about 20x as much time with her.
There is a saying about getting older. You just get more like yourself, so if you were nice you age nicer, if you were a spoilt brat you just get bratier.

From what I remember from watching the full thing the cop wrote the car driver a ticket too cause the boomer was throwing a hissy fit and the boomer took it as a victory until he got a ticket. Then he tried to get the cop to remove both tickets. Poor driver didn't do anything wrong, but ended up with a ticket anyway.
@@ZamersYT I think it got (or will get) dropped because he has all the evidence that he did nothing wrong. But yeah cheers to that officer for keeping his cool and deescalating the issue.
@@ZamersYT the driver got a 130$ ticket which was later dropped and the boomer got a 160/190$ but I think he should have been arrested, the last thing he said was "next time I'm not calling the coops" which could have a bad meaning
Being instructed to "respect your elders" and to never talk to them "like you're their equals" was a lesson the Silent Generation & Boomers beat into their kids, usually literally. They worked hard to ensured that they would never have to be confronted over their appalling behaviour. I am so thrilled when younger generations treat them like they deserve.
I've always been in the "Talk shit, hear shit back", and yes, my boomer parents tried to beat it out of me; I realized VERY early on it's happen whether I talked back or not, so f!ck it... Like most of us did.

Gotta admit, the lack of emotional regulation thing is bang on. I was raised by my boomer grandmother, and while she is definitely not as bad as some of the assholes on this subreddit, her emotional regulation is nigh on non-existent. Every time my dad (her son) and I talk, we inevitably end up comparing notes on another unhinged reaction she has had to a completely normal occurrence. Best one so far was the ‘one day I’ll be dead and you’ll regret not answering your phone!’ text I got for not answering her call. I was in the middle of writing a text to tell her I was getting groceries and would call her back when I got home. She blew up that quick 🤦♀️
Ugh, I was told that about my sperm donors mother "You'll regret it when she's gone". Nope, it's been a couple years and I have zero regrets, didn't even go to the funeral. My grandma who was a total sweetheart on the other hand? Called her at least once a week, went over to visit and help out around the house every couple weeks (more if I had free time), and was genuinely excited to tell her things and spend time with her. I regret not spending even more time with her, and I spent at least 20x as much time with her.
Yeah, and unfortunately the only thing that will fix this is therapy, something they probably won’t consider until _after_ they experience the most severe consequences of their actions. It took me going no contact and mailing back my SIM card that was on their family phone plan for my mother to realize “ok, maybe therapy isn’t such a bad idea.” 1 year of family therapy appointments later and I now have normal loving parents who actually realize how their words effect people. For the first time I’m looking forward to thanksgiving. So I have to agree that for boomers, it’s the lack of emotional regulation that has them doing F-ed up things. That’s typical for anyone who lashes out or acts passive aggressive all the time
I used to quarrel with my boomer dad about random factoids every time we would discuss sth. Then we both got smart phones. Now, when a difference of opinion occures, we whip out our phones, ok corral style, and start looking up the answer. Family meetings are much calmer this way.
7:20 I used to mow lawn for an old couple in my hometown, before the 2016 election they put up a massive Trump sign flying over their front door. Not standard flag size, like twice as big. I was openly "gay" (closeted trans man with a gf) and they knew that. I felt uncomfortable with every interaction with them, eventually said I wasn't going to be mowing their lawn anymore. I got a text message rant from him, no kidding like 10 texts, every one of them a novella about how Biden will ruin this country and I'm brainwashed etc. calling me an idiot and swearing profusely throughout the whole rant. Just absolutely unhinged response to me calmly saying "I don't feel comfortable working for you any longer". Really proved my point.
Yup, and then they don't see how they're making you feel even more uncomfortable being around them. It's like how they're now inventing nonsense about "HaRrIs SuPpOrTeRs" so that they can claim "Libruls" are in a cult, when they're the ones wearing diapers to show support for their tangerine -false messiah.
I tried to have empathy but now I see that they are overgrown toddlers who do not understand the concept of real compassion. You have to give them something for them to care - and they feel entitled to that something even when they give you nothing. Now they want our country to be run by people like them. Narcissists all.
"Bowing to the golden calf" from a man who blatantly worships his politician candidate is really effing rich. It's the type of satire that would be considered too heavy-handed to be realistic.
Fraudulent "Christian" MAGAts don't have a right to preach at anyone for anything anymore, when they've clearly replaced any worship of God or Jesus with that of a hateful and greed-driven billionaire. They might as well just drop all pretenses of Christianity and declare Trump their Pharaoh.
the "bowing to the golden calf" is actually a rhetoric used by Dems, hijacked by trump supporters who have nothing original nor creative in their heads It derives from trumpests following without question the false idol, or golden calf that trump represents, since he is not a religious individual, but wears the evangelical extremists religion. There was also a gold statue created as *checking notes* ' ' 'an award' ' ' for trump... doing something? I don't know, honest. It was a gold statue and they worship the orange freak. I may not be religious, but I am very hesitant to follow a people that follow a man who claims he's like their idol and protector - its sounds very culty.
IKR also "bowing to the golden calf of the MARXIST MACHINE" is almost an oxymoron by itself. It's kind of a beautiful sentence, but not for the right reasons!
Especially considering there was a golden statue of the president elect at the Conservative Political Action Conference that supporters were literally bowing to…
6:00 that was most likely an attempt at insurance fraud. She "slipped" on their property because of a slippery substance (her pizza she just dropped and intentionally stepped on) being left carelessly on the floor with no warning signs of the possible slip hazard
I would love to say this isn’t the case, because it doesn’t make sense to sue over a “slip hazard” that you created where one wasn’t there before. I would love to say it, but I can’t. Because I’ve seen people try to sue over insane things too many times, including truly crazy insurance fraud cases. I’ve even had family involved in one. Just last month my relative’s shop was sued by someone because they allegedly tripped on the sidewalk across the street from the shop. The sidewalk is not owned by my relative, and managing it is the responsibility of the ones who own the entire strip mall, not the people who own one shop there. And there’s also an entire parking lot between that sidewalk and the shops at the mall that they also don’t own. So the only reason why this one shop is being targeted is likely because the person just chose whatever shop they saw first to blame for a sidewalk being slightly uneven. It truly is nonsense that this happened. And yet, they were sued anyways, and it’s probably going to end in a settlement where there’s still going to be more of a payout for this fraudster than they deserve. So yeah, I’ve seen too many people pull this bs to doubt you on this.
Yep, I've seen videos of people attempting this with bottles of oil and water, or packages of raw meat that they allow to drip on the floors. Then they take a running start.
Well you know the best part of that? She's technically outside the store. Now I dunno _exactly_ how the laws work especially depending on where this shop is located. But it looks like a fairly urban city. And in general it's my understanding that the city owns the sidewalks. So as if it wasn't bad enough that she slipped on a hazard she intentionally created, but even if she was going to try and sue, she'd have to sue the city. The only angle she could even _try_ to go with to get the shop involved would be 'Because they sold her the pizza'. But let's be honest, there's no judge living or dead who would ever take a case like that seriously.
“Can you actually imagine this happening in your family?” Me, very slowly side-glancing at the waste of carbon that is my incubator and her texan husband, both hardcore right-wingers, bigoted evangelical nutjobs, conspiracy glue huffer and just general idiots. “Yeah, I can imagine”. I love those videos, they are cathartic in the best way.
Me, very slowly side-glancing my maternal grandfather who said, and this IS indeed a quote, that Trump "was the best President we ever had" and was actually tearing up after he lost the 2020 election. "Yeah... that would be awful..." I normally go visit him around Thanksgiving, but... I don't think I can do it this year. No matter how much financial support he's given me over the years, I just don't think I can sit in his living room and chat like he didn't just vote against the rights of his two daughters and three of his four grandchildren (especially my sister because she's trans!). On the one hand, I should probably check with him to see if he actually did vote Trump before I do anything different from the norm, but on the other... I'm pretty sure I know the answer and it isn't worth the fight. I'd rather just ghost him.
Same. Thankfully most of the Trump nuts in my family are pretty old and easy to avoid seeing. And by this point a lot of them are dead so I never have to see them again. Unfortunately my spawn points are happy he won because they think he will ban abortion (like total ban, no exceptions no matter what).

A clarification for those citing Martin Niemoller: While he's well known for "First they came for", he didn't actually write the poem. That was an edited version of a speech he gave on 6 January, 1948 as part of the church admitting fault, the Confessing Church: "... the people who were put in the camps then were Communists. Who cared about them? We knew it, it was printed in the newspapers. Who raised their voice, maybe the Confessing Church? We thought: Communists, those opponents of religion, those enemies of Christians-"should I be my brother's keeper?" Then they got rid of the sick, the so-called incurables. I remember a conversation I had with a person who claimed to be a Christian. He said: Perhaps it's right, these incurably sick people just cost the state money, they are just a burden to themselves and to others. Isn't it best for all concerned if they are taken out of the middle [of society]? Only then did the church as such take note. Then we started talking, until our voices were again silenced in public. Can we say, we aren't guilty/responsible? The persecution of the Jews, the way we treated the occupied countries, or the things in Greece, in Poland, in Czechoslovakia or in Holland, that were written in the newspapers. ... I believe, we Confessing-Church-Christians have every reason to say: mea culpa, mea culpa! We can talk ourselves out of it with the excuse that it would have cost me my head if I had spoken out. We preferred to keep silent. We are certainly not without guilt/fault, and I ask myself again and again, what would have happened, if in the year 1933 or 1934-there must have been a possibility-14,000 Protestant pastors and all Protestant communities in Germany had defended the truth until their deaths? If we had said back then, it is not right when Hermann Göring simply puts 100,000 Communists in the concentration camps, in order to let them die. I can imagine that perhaps 30,000 to 40,000 Protestant Christians would have had their heads cut off, but I can also imagine that we would have rescued 30-40,000 million [sic] people, because that is what it is costing us now." -- Martin Niemoller
Reminds me that conservative Christians are the core trump supporters. Pastors have been spreading the “values” (/s) of bigotry, misogyny, selfishness, rejection of critical thinking, etc. for decades and on that fertile substrate maga has thrived. I have always wondered how a country that spends billions to indoctrinate children into thinking that the earth is 6000 years old, evolution is a hoax and science lies to people, can continue to function as a modern developed country.
I always have to laugh when US conservatives use words they don't understand, like "marxist" or "radical left". On a party level the US doesn't HAVE a left. They have a moderate right and a pantscrapping crazy far right. :D
They equate "I saw a few college students online saying this" to the open courting of far-right extremists, despite the Dems never doing anything to appeal to anyone nor than an inch left of center. It's either all a big nothingburger, or teaming up with white supremacists is necessary to stop Harris from instituting anarcho-communisn with her jackbooted Antifa and BLM thugs
I wouldn't describe that as "moderate" right. Moderate right parties in civilised countries still believe in education and health care - not as something they might speculate about from time to time, but as core tenets of civilisation.
We worked for 30 years to buy our house. We went without most luxuries. I shopped for all my clothes at second-hand stores. We struggled for many years, but now our house is paid off. The prices for housing are outrageous. Wages have not kept up with inflation. We struggled to buy our house. I can't imagine how much the younger generations would have to struggle to buy a house now. It is absolutely ridiculous.
I would never have been able to buy a house without a substantial medical related settlement that I used for a down payment and if I didn't live in a part of the country with very low cost of living. My mortgage payment is less than rent would be, which is absolutely crazy.
@alias-majik I'm amazed that anyone can come up with a down payment these days. I'm sorry that you had to experience a medical mess-up to be able to afford a down payment. It shouldn't be that hard.

Do I say it's good that they do?No.DEAR GOD NO.However, if they wouldn't atleast try to perpetually increase profits, they could go bankrupt somewhen.I think.I have been confused by my own slight buffer point.Eh screw it you're right, if I don't get my own point I don't get to make one XD

The documentary follows one of a few packs through their first year in the park as they establish themselves. I wish Disney+ would start uploading NatGeo Classic, from the 2000s and earlier, along with its newer content. The quality is still fantastic, but I wish I could see my old favorites again.
15:30 No joke, this exact conversation happened today at my new job. We were doing orientation for new employees and the CEO showed up there, and he sat down and explained that he's stressed about the new presidency because tariffs were already high for his liking but are going to absolutely skyrocket. (Most of our product is manufactured overseas, specifically in China.) He had to explain what tariffs were and how they worked. Two of my coworkers, who were bragging and celebrating how Trump won and how "that r////d Camel-a" (their words, not mine) didn't make it into office and blah blah blah ALL day long after the election, were sitting there in shock with their jaws on the floor hearing how pricey things were about to get. It was kind of satisfying seeing them lose a bit of faith in their lord and savior Annoying Orange. I hope the CEO's plan to get manufacturing going elsewhere goes well, or I might be out of a job when everyone decides $800 is too much for a griddle.
i'm sixteen. i wont be able to afford a home. or school. or a good job. i'm going to have nothing and these businessmen that voted for him don't even understand that. its fucking scary.
The boomer mentality is so amazing when it comes to things that make a better future "I suffered through every second of my life, so the next generations better have it as shitty as I did!"
And they proceed to make it even more shitty than they had it... My GA public college was $22,000 per year without fin-aid for in-state stidentd. Min wage in GA is $7.25, or $15,000 per year...
The best part about it is that boomers lived through the best economy that the US has ever seen. They were the richest generation, had the best access to public services, etc. They statistically have had it the easiest of any generation in the US that came before or after them.
@@pancakes8670Break the cycle=be ageist and financially controlling Remember, when you get old that you are the most ageist and abusive generation now.
Yeah it's crazy how we were just poisoning everyone with Lead for so long. It might happen again since the Trump Administration is gonna destroy a lot of our regulation laws.
A boomer customer at my work said "don't wanna work huh?!" Because I refused to break his hundred dollar bill. Owner says no, AND we have A MACHINE THAT BREAKS BILLS! (It's a mini casino for the record)
Ugh, sounds about right. I had a Boomer complain at me "Kids these days never want to work because you are all lazy"....while I was at work. Like did he think I was wearing a lifeguard uniform, rescue tube, and sitting in a lifeguard chair for decoration?
21:29 this one gets me every time. My grandpa complains about welfare and government assistance etc. He draws a government pension and uses a government hospital for free Healthcare...
Seeing a very distinct pattern on social media posts between American friends with opposing political views. 1) Trump supporter gloats at Kamala supporter 2) Kamala supporter shrugs and responds with an expression of how justified they feel when they see how awful this relative is being to them 3) Trump supporter escalates the aggression and drops some kind of terrible slur or discrimination. 4) Kamala supporter basically says "See what I mean?" 5) Trump supporter goes off in an enraged huff This people KNOW they are wrong and these interactions leave them realising people will NOT back down and join them... They are left with a mess that is their fault alone. They won... But now their country has lost. I fear far too many of them will Double, Triple, Quadruple down... This is how a dictatorship is formed. A swathe of the public FANATICALLY on side of a fascist regime... These people will "out" those around them. They will send people to the slaughter rather than admit how awful their choice was. If Trump runs with this control then, distressingly, this kind of thing simply has to run its course... And with a country as big as America... It could take a very long time indeed and end in quite terrible consequences.
They require an audience for their misery. They genuinely believe that you're as invested as them. When Trump lost, they were livid and treated statement of basic fact as if you're rubbing their noses in their own shit. And now they think yall will react the same way, in the meantime, I've seen dems splitting from their family members and writing their wills because they know what's coming. They're not angry, they're just defeated, and that placid misery isnt enough for them, they require tears and suffering, and they will have it, just not the way they think
Trump looses His supporters: get mad Trump wins His supportersb get mad .... Ya know, I'm staring to think a lot of them are just sad miserable people who don't know why they feel like that, but see a guy with a lot of money lie to them that they can make it big like him and it's the fault of everyone else they didn't, so they direct their anger everyone else....
People who don't feel safe in that environment need support to get out. Whether that's moving to a blue city or leaving the country entirely .. We said "never again." Now we're looking at a very real risk of it happening again.
I’ve seen videos of when people find out that Latino people voted for Sweet Potato Hitler, they call immigration on that voter’s undocumented parents. Because they don’t think it’s *their* family that gets deported, just the *bad* people. Leopard, face,🍽️🧂
Honestly the karen who slipped on pizza reminds me of those cartoons you'd watch where the bad guy always steps on something random and does a dramatic fall.

I've had people tell me school is very important and when I go to a school program with 2 extra years to prepare you for university the same people told me I'm wasting time and how the people with diplomas can't find jobs or can't enroll as teachers and I should'a just dropped out to work and get experience to have a headstart. Things happened and I had to drop out and they switched up saying I lost on a much bigger paycheck because I didn't graduate.
8:15 reading through the letter (like the nerd I am), there's multiple references to veterans, the main subject of the argument in the first place, so I'd wager this was an actual custom "essay," though I'd prefer to call it a more formal Twitter rant. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Old people believing everything they see on the internet is so true. My aunt of ten shares misinformation videos on the family group chat and i have to keep deleting it. Thank god i am the group admin.
It took me longer than I'd like to admit to realize there was a typo. I legit thought you had an aunt who was only 10 years old but was still considered "old" to you. LMAO
20:03 omg, I thought she was supposed to be dressed as the scariest person - a fully-decked Trump supporter - and that's why it was a Halloween costume 💀 (I was wrong 😂)
I think there are adult toddlers on both sides at this point but the Right tends to tantrum in violence and anger the Left tends to tantrum in tears and fear and I know which I prefer. It's not the violence, even though I feel weak.
College tuition: adjusted for inflation, some 1970's college fees would be less than $1000/year. Sometimes it's not that boomers are lying about working themselves through college, and more that they're WILDLY out of touch with how things are now.
And don't forget their wages were also higher, and other expenses like rent were lower, accounting for inflation. They had everything handed to them on silver platters, and when they succeeded they have themselves 100% credit. Now when they see others struggling, they blame them 100%
The "Ecology of Fear" thing forgot to mention that because the area around streams didnt have any trees, the beavers couldnt shore up their dams and they collapsed, leading to flooding of human settlements further down
I'm a 54 year old member of Gen X. I'm just gonna go ahead and apologize for every boneheaded thing that Gen X has done in the past and will, undoubtedly, do in the future. I am so sorry...you deserve so much better.
@@BlueSkyBirdies in all honesty, if my fellow Gen Xers don't come after me with torches and pitchforks over the blasphemous things I say, my fellow 'Christians' will. Am I being overdramatic? Maybe yes, maybe no. Why? #1 I have zero qualms about calling out Boomers and Gen Xers on their nauseatingly hypocritical attitude towards the generations that have followed ours by insisting that younger doesn't mean lesser...you know, blasphemy of the highest order. #2 I've managed to infuriate almost all of my fellow Christians by asking them to cite the chapter and verse of the Bible that describes Jesus ramming His beliefs down people's throats. No, Karen, the world is not entitled to your opinion so STFU, get down off your cross, build a bridge and get over it. Isn't it bad enough that we've mind f*cked our descendants so badly that their entire school experience is haunted by the constant threat of being forced into a deadly game of hide and seek with a boneheaded lunatic that's decided that first person shooter games should be brought to the real world? It is the responsibility of each generation to make life safer/easier for the generations that follow theirs. And we have failed miserably...
Yep. Sadly I wasn't surprised given that I once (while at work) I had someone take offense to the fact I answered a child's question of "What's her name?" while pointing at a cis co-worker with "His name is [whatever his name was]"...by screaming super sexually explicit stuff I was supposedly doing to said child. Said child who'd never been within 10 feet of me, both of us were fully clothed, oh, and I don't have a penis. Despite the fact she was GRAPHICALLY describing anal sex when the cops came running in (less than a minute after she started up no less since the station was next door, no idea who called them because we hadn't been able to get to a phone yet) she was flabbergasted they weren't there to arrest me. As if I was the one screaming X rated stuff in front of 4 year olds. They even gave her two options- go with them willingly and be trespassed from campus, or go with them in shiny new bracelets and be trespassed.
This is something I find infuriating that seems unique to Christian weirdos: assuming *everything* has to do with Christianity. Not just "this isn't Christian so I don't like it", but the assumption that people who follow other beliefs actually have the same beliefs but choose the side of Satan. Maybe I just don't meet enough religious weirdos of other kinds and this is common, but it drives me nuts either way
Correction: It's the Catholic adoption of a pagan holiday. Halloween is All Hallows' Even" ("Hallow' E'en"), the night before All Saints ' Day, also called All Hallows' Day. It's supposed to be a day to remember all who died in service to Christ. Which, yeah, means it still has nothing to do with Satan. But then, Satan having a bride in the first place is completely non-Biblical, so you can't expect them to be logical about this.
@wandererwerewolf477 Correction: that’s the word we use, but the traditions are all in-line with the pagan traditions, and no one does any of the Christian ones. I do neither, because I’m Jewish. (No paganism allowed for us) I get spooky for the rest of the month, instead. 😎 🧛♀️
45:02 I ACTUALLY got candy this Halloween with a “vote Trump” note on it. These losers had LITERALLY gone through all their candy to put CUSTOM TRUMP NOTES on them telling kids to tell their parents to vote for Trump because, and I quote, “if Harris wins, we won’t be able to afford big bars for the next 4 years.” The fact that some people can’t put aside their politics for ONE NIGHT with CHILDREN will never not shock me.
36:36 this is so so disgusting. I moved away to go to school and my ballot came to my parents’ house. (I wrongfully believed my voter registration to have expired.) They tried to turn in the ballot making me vote for Tr*mp, but thankfully it didn’t count because they didn’t know how to write my signature. I’m still getting phonecalls about it though 🤦
This was literally my dad after the election: “I think it’s great that we have a businessman in office. After all, America is kind of a business, so it needs to be ran by someone who knows what it’s like to run one..” 🙄 I should start a list of things that I can use against him when there is a talk about politics and see his reaction to it
I always ask these people "what business do you know cares about the working class? Tell me how many companies you've worked for that understood that sometimes you can wake up and be too sick to work or some other emergency happened that made you unable to go into work that day and they were okay with it. Possibly even giving you paid leave? Or wanted you to have a fair and equal pay like others?" I'm always just genuinely curious as to how they're figuring that a businessman, successful or not, would ever have their best interest in mind
Unfortunately both sides can be pretty awful and instead of talking about coming together to make a better nation, both sides get an us vs them mentality. Reminds me about what click said in the video. It stops beimg about logic and starts being about a sense of community
There's video up of a home that did an epic Halloween light show choreographed to Pink Pony Club. Has been looping rent free in my head since seeing it a couple weeks ago. One of the things that got me through the election. Wish they were my neighbors, I wouldn't even mind the light pollution/noise disturbance.
The one about people over 55 shouldn’t have to pay taxes for schools because they don’t have kids, my dad is 59 and my youngest brother is 12. He’s still in school and my dad is almost 60. Just because YOU don’t have kids in school doesn’t mean NOBODY over 55 has no kids in school.
They shouldn't be allowed to go to any professional with any education. You want heart surgery? Sorry, you weren't interested in paying for his education, so you have to go with the guy who watched a YT video instead.
The baby boomer homelessness article wasn't referring to the boomers themselves seeing rates like during the great depression for homelessness. What it was saying is that the boomers are becoming homeless at a rate that is as fast and common as homelessness was during the great depression. So basically, it's just saying homelessness hasn't been this rampant since the great depression. It's rough in the states. Not only has the price of food and everything else skyrocketed, but everyone is forced to rent because you can't find homes for purchase anymore without being filthy rich, and rent goes up almost every year by between 30-60$ depending on location, but where I live it's been in that range. About another 30$ a year for a rundown crappy studio apartment or a hike of 60$+ a year if you live in a even moderately nice apartment. Other places have evicted all their tenants to raise the cost of rent from 700$ or more to about a grand a month. These landlords and companies charging these ungodly rent prices all need to be thrown in jail and their properties forfeited. Landlords practically have monopolies in each city for living spaces and everyone else suffers because of their greed. It's disgusting and utterly despicable. Can't even work to survive without at least two people for one small apartment. It's horrid.
Kamala Harris wanted to build 3 million new affordable homes, and I think she also had plans for discouraging “buy to b&b”. More houses on the real estate market automatically reduce house and rent prices. Apparently Americans weren’t interested. Seems to me Christians don’t give a flying F for their “neighbors” who need a helping hand.
Re the guy who said that Trump protects "his kind" I am not Trump's kind, and neither are you. I'm assuming by his kind, we both mean billionaires, because that's the only kind of people I'm sure he'll try to protect.
44:00 Oh lord, I've actually experienced something like this as well. Some old bag harassed me, who was walking down the sidewalk playing pokemon go during the height of its popularity, because she was convinced I was taking pictures of "which houses to rob." I tried being cordial and gently explaining it was a game, not a camera, app and she could look at my screen while I catch something nearby so she could see for herself. I stead, she suddenly snaps from listening intently to "WAIT, YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO GET CLOSE TO ME TO SILENCE ME BECAUSE I'M ONTO YOU!!!" She starts threatening to call the police. I say "ugh, okay, good luck with that. I'm going to get lunch at the restaurant I was walking towards before you stopped me though so send them that way and I'll tell them how unreasonable you've been." She never called them I take it because they never showed lol
While they weren't boomers, a similar thing happened to me except it was Pikmin Bloom and the two threatened assault. Like sorry the game's equivalent of a pokestop was on their street? Even after showing them, they only somewhat backed down, but it was still clear they'd try something if we crossed paths again. Suffice to say, I've never went back to that street again, and I've been better at remembering to bring my pepper spray.
@@Lunar994 I've been so terrified of something similar happening when I play Pikmin Bloom that I only walk alone when I'm in a public place like a mall or around my own neighborhood where people recognize me at least a little and give me a friendly hello instead of a suspicious glare. Having my 6'2" husband with me is the only reason I feel comfortable walking downtown or in other residential areas.
I'm still playing Ingress, the pre-decessor to Pokemon Go, and recently heard about a doc that recommends it (not only) for his senior patients. It gets them off the coucht and has a "brain jogging" part where you have to remember and repeat patterns on the screen ;)
So to speak about the "default" order of inheritance... I live in a state that does not legally recognize marital or familial assets. So if I die without a will, anything I own that does not have my spouse's name on it defaults to the state. It doesn't matter how long we've been married or if they can demonstrate that they have financial stake, if he is not on the title or deed and it's not in my will, it doesn't matter. So it's important to know your local laws and to have a will!
Honestly, I think the reason some of the older generation hasn't learned about actions=consequences is because of their weird idea of respect combined with how they were raised. They were taught not to disrespect or question their elders. Did this stop them? Absolutely not. However, now that they're the elders, they believe they should be "respected". Respect, to them, means being treated like an authority who is above consequences. Plus, when they were younger, stronger, more attractive, etc, they probably DID get away with more. Lastly, they just haven't kept up. When they were young, smoking was allowed, so it should ALWAYS be allowed, because the passage of time doesn't exist to peiple who don't want to admit they're aging.
That last paragraph is a key component. No one thinks of themself as aging on a regular basis so the tendency is to see what the world was like in your HS/college years as what it should always be like.
Remember, the Boomers were the generation that said, "Never trust anyone over 30." And then they turned 30, and couldn't handle it. By the time they turned 40, they were already attacking us Gen-Xers for not being like they were when they were our age. They called us "slackers." Our response was, "Oh, so you want us to go out and protest and make a lot of noise about the ills of the world, and then sell out like you did?" Someone I knew, back in _my 20s,_ from the Baby Boom generation once started in with, "Your generation may think, 'Never trust anyone over 30,' now, but…" That's when I interrupted him, "No Gen-X doesn't say that. You have 2 words too many. We say, 'Never trust anyone.'" He was quite shocked by that. I no longer know how true that is, since I'm discovering that a lot of my fellow Gen-Xers are not as awake and aware as my friends and family from my generation are.
OH MY GOD. that military veteran one happened right by my brothers house, his neighbor was the veteran for Harris!!!!! Super cool dude also keeps a mannequin outside on his porch and dresses it differently every so often
The post at 22:19 is hilarious to me because MY FATHER IS 57 AND HAS CHILDREN STILL IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. I'm not exactly on good terms with my catholic parents, as a trans woman, but this just goes to show that even the small things these fools say are stupid.
this!! my mom just turned 59 on the 13th, and i’m turning 18 in january- i’m still in school!! basically what i’m saying, my mom has been in her 50s for just about all of my school life.
I knew someone whose mom had her last kid at 49, so 57 would've still been elementary school. Yeah, the kid had the nickname of gallbladder because Mom thought she'd gone into menopause (she wasn't just being stupid, the circumstances made it incredibly believable) and didn't notice until her "gallbladder" started acting up again, only to get to the hospital and learn she was in labor.
I used to work in customer service & in my opinion: Customer service is the equivalent of baby-sitting toddlers who never learned to grow up. You do occasionally get those people who are nice & patient, but more often than not, they either don't care & are minding their own business or are entitled brats. That being said the ratio I've gotten of people from the older generations vs those from the younger generation isn't even close as I've had more people that were at least a decade or more older than me lose their shit over us being out of something, not being able to hold an item over what we're allowed to, me literally not being able to do something & them not being able to twist my arm to make me do it, etc
Don't forget those people who don't understand how the sales on the signs work, "but the sign says buy one get one free" of the same candy, you need to buy two of the same candy, not another more expensive candy for free
6:31 So funny story; a couple months or so before the election my Trump supporter grandpa came home in a bad mood because he saw a sign in support of Kamala Harris in someone else’s yard. He got upset because of a sign in a yard that wasn’t his 😂
TBF seeing a neighborhood of trump signs after a perfectly nice social event brought me low and in tears for the rest of the night and some of the next, so it's not just a trump supporter thing.
Gen-X: born between 1964 and 1980. Millennials: born between 1980 and either 1996 [new defn.] or 2000 [orig. defn.] Are you sure your grandparents aren't from the Baby-Boom generation [1945-1964]? Or do you have really young grandparents and parents?

10:06 literally happening here in Brazil right now as we're trying to abolish the 6 days work week in favor of a 4 days work week (and maybe we'll only get 5 but that'd already be an improvement for the majority of workers).
Recently, my dad freaked out in a Walmart because the cashier (a young guy about my age) thought my dad had stolen two lemons that were already on the conveyor belt before we arrived. He completely lost it and started screaming. The poor guy was just doing his job. Also, my dad is kind of racist, too, because he hates Russians (and the cashier had a Russian accent). As someone with pretty bad social anxiety, that was absolute hell for me.
Just remember that you don't have to go to a funeral for someone you don't love (at the most extreme end) And also, you're pretty much guaranteed to be a better role model for others by simply remaining as self aware as you currently are.
Every time I hear them say ‘snowflake’ to mean something weak, my brain buffers a little - they need a new metaphor. I’m in Canada where blizzards can shut down cities. Snowflakes are rarely seen alone. 🌨️
I had someone call me a snowflake and "a pronoun people"....while SCREAMING at me for "misgendering" their kids plushie cactus....that I didn't gender. Like screaming in such distress store security and management showed up in 30 seconds thinking someone was SAing a child. She immediately started blaming me, well until a couple people in the vicinity backed me up stating all I'd said was "I like your cactus", and management offered to check the cameras. At which point she immediately stopped fake crying and dropped her complaint. Too late, store policy meant any accusations of assault required a camera review. Someone was escorted from the store and it wasn't me. The saddest bit for me though was the kid didn't react to the rant at all (and they weren't deaf because they had smiled at me when I complimented their toy), which means they were used to it.
@@christinamann3640 yep. Sadly CPS in my area barely takes physical abuse seriously. Like "just a bruise? Why are you calling?" type stuff. Basically if a kid has a bed, food, clothes, goes to school and doesn't have broken bones nothing gets done. Oh wait, unless it's a kid with a diagnosed bruising disorder, **then** it's abuse and they'll drag the kid to the car and blame the mother for the large hand size bruises that show up on the kids arms the next day, despite the fact the her hands were significantly smaller. Or leukemia.
35:30 One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. Carl Sagan
@@waffles3629 The Amazing Randy actually once did a little experiment around this. I don't fully remember all of the details, but I do recall that, after the hoax had been revealed and the tricks used to fool people had been carefully explained … some people refused to believe it they'd been taken in and still insisted that it was real. I don't recall how many people got mad at _him_ for fooling them, rather than learning the lesson that we humans are easily fooled. But knowing how people are, I'm sure there was a not so small fraction of them. Heck, I may have even learned about that thing with The Amazing Randy _from Carl Sagan,_ whether from "The Demon-Haunted Land" or in an interview with him.
My uncle is realizing how bad the orange man is a bit to late, after he voted my rights as a disabled, trans, and queer kid away, his wife and daughter and his own as a queer person. It’s nice that he understands now but the damage is done and he just isn’t someone I want to be around anymore. On the other hand my grandmas sister voted for him and doesn’t see why it’s wrong.. now she’s upset I won’t talk to her. Shocker huh
Respectfully, what right have you lost under Trump and what rights will you lose? I’m genuinely asking because I’m an independent voter and don’t pay attention to policies.
@ trump want to take rights and or resources away from disabled, POC and queer people. Nothing has yet been in affect that I’m aware of but my aunt has said how they’re building camps for immigrants and stuff (that doesn’t affect me obviously and I’m not sure if it’s true since it was explained in a weird way for my autism brain so idk what to look up) Essentially right now it’s just fear and a bad man who has bad plans but if he’s serious on his plans then it could mean trouble. Ntm women have been getting attacked online since the day he won so if I’m being honest I’m more scared of his supporters than of him
@@amaranthinenight8733 The same Republicans who repealed Roe v. Wade (women's right to choose whether or not to have an abortion, essentially) are his buddies. Project 2025 is the Republican plan for the next 4 years, and includes things like: removing the anti-discriminatory laws for LGBT+ people, birth control pills (especially the "morning after pill") being outlawed or at least made much harder to obtain, the removal of Obamacare/Affordable Care Act so anyone who cannot afford or insurance or has pre-existing conditions is just screwed, and illegal immigrants who have been here working our fields for pennies being forcibly deported and banned from ever entering the country legally despite never causing any trouble in the 20-30 years they've lived here. Add to that the whole insurrection thing where he incited a riot on our capitol because he didn't like that he lost, and all the misinformation about the 2020 election being "stolen" or "rigged." And then of course all the language he uses about "fake news" anytime the press says something about him he doesn't like- even something as simple as fact-checking his speeches- and his general attitude about immigrants and women (remember "grab her by the pussy"?). He's not a great person in general. And that's not even mentioning the disastrous effects we're expecting on the economic side of things with the tariffs and deportations he has planned. And since Republicans now also have a majority in the Senate and the House, the damage done in the next 4 years by the MAGA cult could be very disastrous and also take legitimately multiple decades to get back to where it was before. It's... gonna be bad for basically anyone who isn't straight, white, male, and upper class. If you want more detail, I highly recommend you skim Project 2025 or look up a neutral source summary of it. But fair warning, it's extremely depressing and has some real Handmaiden's Tale shit, so buckle up.
@@Cosmiccrying No offense, but it sounds like you are just listening to fear mongering. You have just stated that he hasn’t said anything outright and you don’t even know if he will do anything. Also, I have read up a little on things and it sounds like if he wanted to take rights away from people, he would’ve done it his first term. Why wait 4 years, lose an election to Biden and then hope to win and take away people’s right? It doesn’t make sense. Besides, he’s already given abortion back to the states permanently. Kamala nor Trump can take that away and he has already promised that insurance companies will be forced to pay for IVF for women. That sounds like giving women better healthcare and rights to me. Not taking them away. That’s just what I’ve researched recently. There is one part that I agree with you on though, I’m scared for his supporters too. Black men and women are being attacked and ridiculed on the streets simply for voting for Trump. I also have seen people get spit on and assaulted for wearing a Trump hat. Scary world out there where if someone disagrees with you, it gives them the right to attack and silence you.
@@amaranthinenight8733 Trump wants to get rid of the ACA and remove gender and sexuality from anti discrimination laws. Which would make it legal to discriminate against people for being LGBT. And it would make me lose my health insurance because I have so called "pre-existing conditions".
35:49 That’s unfortunately how most people throughout history have made decisions: what feels good (or bad, some people seem to want to be afraid or angry), gets them social acceptance in a community, and/or reaffirms their biases.
I'm so tired of "I'm not part of this demographic so I shouldn't pay taxes related to that demographic"..... The point of taxes is literally so someone doesn't pay out of pocket for stuff, also, I bet those people would very much mind if people stoped paying the taxes that help them. It's so weird how this people seem to think that only they pay taxes for others, and that others don't pay taxes for them? Then again, they probably think they earned everything they have, like ya know, roads, clean streets, police, army, yup, they payed for all of that directly and definitely isn't the collective effort of everyones taxes.... It's funny how they complain about higher taxes cuz they won't have enough to pay out of pocket for stuff then (ignoring the fact that the reach should pay higher taxes to reduce the amount the middle and lower class has to pay) but yes... That is the point, so at the end, you don't need to pay 50k for an ambulance, it becomes free.... You dunce...
Regarding not taking out student loans, I'm in an incredibly privileged position. My parents are letting me live at home rent-free to work my way through school well into my 20s. At two classes a semester, my tuition is over $3,000 per semester. Parking on campus is $8 a day. Textbooks and homework programs are a few hundred dollars. It's taking me twice as long as it should because I'm not taking loans, and I'm still privileged because of my housing situation. How are 18 year old kids supposed to navigate this shit?
9:45 my college tuition per semester is $12,000 for 4 classes. If I hadn't been medically discharged from the military I would not be able to go to college. I still have to pay $400-$600 a semester depending on books or if I need special access to a website.
That's crazy... 12k is more than I spend over an entire year in total for all of my living expenses and for university. I actually feel really bad, because when compared to the USA this feels like bragging, when it really shouldnt.
You have got to be kidding. That's... wow. I'm Canadian and an average semester of college here is $2508 USD. I converted it so you get a better idea comparing between countries. Even a semester of university is only $3583, and my province gives a combination of super low interest loans and grants to students. Y'all are being robbed.
i watched a lawyer talk about police bodycam of that boomer biker and apparently he got off with little consequence, he could have been charged with battery and unlawful detainment. he didn't, so i suspect he'll keep doing that unless someone actually does charge him with that. on the brighter side, the kid didn't have to pay his ticket after they checked his dashcam and realized that the boomer was flipping over nothing. and over all the police officer did a very good job talking with the boomer and deescalating his behavior, which was a nice change after constantly hearing how awful usamerican police is.
I decided to read the full text form the yard sign guy. It is....... something. And then towards the end he says that: "Harris is a know drug and alcohol user and addict. It is a known fact". Oh my god! I regret being in need of always knowing what a text says. Forcing me to read it all. Well, 5 minutes of my life wasted, not like I was using them anyway.
I love the "Satan impregnates all his wives on Halloween" one.. How many brides does he have? How many years has he been doing this? How much c*m can he have to impregnate this many women every Halloween? How many children does he have??? How do these brides manage to get pregnant on Halloween precisely every time? Do these children all share the same birthday? How can Satan afford all these children?? Does he have a favorite? Are these brides basically perpetually pregnant? I have so many questions for this woman.
17:57 Halloween is the time of year Satan impregnates his bride? I am so glad to hear that Satan spoke his vows before God, and honestly a little impressed to hear about Mrs. Satan's eagerness for childbearing. I hope those kids are all getting the attention they need though, sounds like a lot of parenting time in that household.
Lol when I was a kid the neighborhood we trick or treated at had something like that too. I just threw away the paper but they always gave us good candy
And they say they're not trying to force the kids into it. It reminds me of the time youth pastors would offer kids candy and juice if they prayed or did confessions first.
He did! Back in September when GamerSupps was doing a free shipping promotion he had a whole week where he redid his end-of-video sponsorship spiel and part of that new spiel included something to the effect of "So strap in and strap on for free shipping"
Regarding inheritance Your spouse will only inherit you if you are married, so sambo doesn't count Disabilities: Don't have to have a wheelchair, or an artificial leg or anything of the sort to be eligible for the disability privileges. You could have a chronic back pain for instance.
Or even chronic illness that isn't visible. I was diagnosed with a few nasty chronic diseases at 11 years old. The amount of rude people harassing me as I grew up is astonishing. Every now or then it still happens but it truly is sad. Same misconception of how many people believe service dogs are only for blind people or can only be a retriever type dog; Labrador, golden, etc. Or especially if they are smaller dogs. (Fakers definitely don't help) but it's amazing how dogs can predict on coming seizures or medical conditions. Our family pet could predict my mother's grandmaul seizures- unfortunately was too protective of her to ever be a service animal despite her wonderful ability.
English isn't my first language, so correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the word spouse indicate a married partner? I don't think I've ever heard anyone calling their unmarried partner their spouse.
Yep, and that disabled people can work physical jobs. I was a lifeguard and lifeguard instructor while disabled. Like just because I can walk, talk, feed myself, have a job and even breathe on my own doesn't mean I'm not disabled. Yes, someone told me I'm not disabled because I'm not on a ventilator.

I'm a gen Jones, I'm too young to be a boomer, and too old (by a couple of years) to be a gen X'er. I was a latchkey kid, as my father would be at work, and my mother would go out horseback riding and I was left at home to fend for myself from age ten or so. And people wonder why I could always fend for myself for a lot of things. I had to. I hate Chump voters as they always act like they are a bratty tween.
We were 55 and 59 when our son graduated HS. Also educating everyone decreases the overall costs to society and provides benefits even to those without children.
You are a Slave... From a European perspective. You're literally owned by the US, and if you left, you'd still have to pay US taxes... In addition to whatever taxes of the country you'd be living in. No other country taxes citizens living abroad a second time like the USA... You literally have to renounce your US citizen ship by paying a $2,350.00 fee, to free yourself from their financial grip on you! Which is a fee, most lower to middle class people could never afford, while also leaving.
That argument is so silly because what If you dont want to leave? Even If someone could afford it, emigrating is a huge ordeal. Wouldnt you rather want to improve the country you are currently in? Imagine If the people dumping the tea at Boston harbour had been told to just go to another colony that isnt owned by Britain If they didnt like their laws.
@@tobiasbayer4866 Not to mention... leave where? I couldn't afford college, and didn't want to go into debt, so I have no degree or marketable skills. I have no experience in jobs of importance because... I don't have a degree. You can't just pull out your passport, say "I would like to live in your country now" and just do that. You need to be valuable. And if you're disabled, well, there are lots of places that consider you not a valuable worker just for that fact alone. I don't understand why people thing that emigrating is just aas easy as pointing at a map and just moving. If you don't have a partner in another country, and have no marketable skills, on top of not having a lot of disposable income... like, where are you gonna go???? It's not like moving states.
Ah, Trumpers. Yes, he very much did call soldiers who were taken prisoner 'losers'. The Afghan thing was his fault too, he decided the US were going to pull out, gave no plan, wouldn't cooperate with Biden and left him in the position that meant it all went hugely tits-up in the way it did.

Ugh, I'm about to potentially have to call the board of pharmacology on my pharmacy (they gave me an capless open bottle missing pills and are saying it was full with a cap) and I'm still not planning on yelling at them when I give them a second chance tomorrow.

Don't say they were replaced with toddler brains. Toddlers are great at learning and absorbing new information.
Toddlers have the ability to get smarter and wiser... they only have the ability to go get a Budweiser.
Plus, when toddlers do stupid things it's because they're just too young to know any better, and their brains are still developing.
They're ignorant. The root word of Ignorance is "ignore". It's not that they haven't learned anything, they refuse to learn. It's actively staying stupid.
i agree with not shaming toddlers; but the boomers in this video lack the same critical evaluation skills that toddlers miss
@@pancakes8670 "Ignorance" comes from Latin by way of French, meaning basically "not knowing." Yes, sometimes people think it has something like the meaning you ascribe to it, but in general it just means _not knowing_ something (as opposed to having had a chance to learn and not having taken it).
We're all ignorant when it comes to everything we don't know. Ignorance isn't the problem, _willful_ ignorance (i.e. choosing to continue not knowing) is the problem.

10:10 fun fact: the saying "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" derived from the saying "pulling oneself by the bootstraps", signifying an impossible task, as you can't pull yourself by the bootstraps.
It's basically saying the same thing as, "Levitate by pulling on your shoelaces _realllllllllly hard."_
Whenever someone tells me to pull myself up by the bootstraps, I just look at them and say "wow, you guys can afford the straps?"
It's always funny when a saying or phrase gets completely flipped on its head to mean the opposite by idiots parroting it with no context or understanding of what it means.
same with 'blood is thicker than water'. iirc, it used to say 'the blood of the covenant is thicker than the waters of the womb.'
It is an old mining term: when someone fell down a mine shaft, and couldn't be reached by rescue, they were told they had to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
It meant they were doomed.
22:22 - professor John Green once said: "why I don't mind to pay school taxes even if I have no children school age? because I don't want to be surrounded by uneducated people 😂
Precisely! I'm safer if my neighbors' kids get a quality education and keep out of trouble. It's pretty simple. 🤷♀️
Same thing with social security and health care. If we are all healthy, educated and more secure, regardless of background, then people don't have to turn to crime to survive as much. And then the whole of society is safer as a result.
The easy answer to people who don't think they should pay school taxes is: "Do you use any educated professionals for anything? Do you have a doctor? A lawyer? An accountant? Have you ever had your plumbing fixed by someone? Do you read or watch any sort of journalism? Do you read books (haha, I know the answer to that is no, but still) or watch films and TV series? Do you ever fly anywhere? Do you drive a car that you built, or that you trust was built properly by other people? Do you expect buildings and bridges to be structurally sound? All those people that you rely on for each of these things, would you like to eliminate those from your life, or do you think they shouldn't be educated before they perform a service? Or maybe you benefit from their education, Karen, and you should continue to pay for the education of the people who make your life possible."
I'm childless by choice and I have no problem paying taxes for schools for exactly this reason, and I don't want to age into the only doctors left being the large adult sons of rich people who got into school by being legacies.
The way I look at it is someone else paid taxes for me to go to school, and now I'm paying that back. It doesn't matter that I don't have children of my own attending school. Everyone goes to school as a child, and everyone pays some tax that goes to pay for schools later.
They don't realise the kids in school now will grow up to be their carers in X nursing home, & trust me, the Boomers who Boom are going right there
As a queer woman "strap in and strap on" is my new motto.

Yeah, it never fails to weird me out when Boomers™ call younger people "Millennials" when the oldest Millennials are in their 40s now and the oldest people from Gen Z are 27.
I.... I feel so old now.
._.
However, your comment was funny enough to chuckle passes the face slap of age reminder.
My literal reaction to the post was "Okay Boomer, next time remember the kids you're complaining about are Gen Z."
That's funny because 28 to 40s is my exact dating range.
I'm 35😅
Do you mean Gen X?
Yeah it is so weird, like someone told my i was lying that a lot of gen alfa was now in their young teens, they litterly yelled at me gen alfa can't be older then 4 years old. Yes their are people from gen alfa what are 4 and younger, but gen beta will be born in 2025, so in about a few weeks.
Gen Z are the late teens and young adults and millennials are now the a bit younger then middle age parents and the cool aunt/uncle who spent some time listening to your grandkids hobbies, so you don't have to.
The Veteran Yard sign one just reaffirms my belief that Conservatives actually hate Veterans. Veterans aren't strictly a right-wing demographic, they're pretty mixed. A lot of times they even tend to screw left-leaning because it's often the Conservative Politicians who screw them over and they remember it.
We need to stop pretending like Conservatives are pro-Veteran, they're not. They hate Veterans, they hate what Veterans represent. They might say "thank you for your service", but in their minds you should have never come home. You should have given your life for the country.
What they love is war.

And heavens forbid those veterans might have physical disabilities or mental health issues which require medical care.
they like it when they're dying for them - they hate it when they survive.

My oldest nephew voted for Trump and was legit blindsided that his LGBT+ friends got mad at him.
I don’t think he’s hateful, he’s just a privileged white kid from a conservative family who’s just barely left home and doesn’t understand the scope of these things. I’m trying to help him come around, the way I had to a long time ago.
He's hateful. He voted for hate. Being sheltered doesn't excuse voting against your "friends" rights
He's just not used to there being consequences for being a shithead, and instead used to family members who shrug and say "he's just sheltered"
@ These are all things I’m trying to get him to understand.
What he’s actually used to is family members wholeheartedly agreeing with him. I’m the one calling him out.
Literally, all you said was that he voted for Trump, yet you're bringing financial wealth, race, and other unnecessary details. What rights are my fellow LGBTQ people losing? We can vote, marry, and have jobs.

@@8onnie8oyzAre you kidding me?!
1) There has already been a massive rise in anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric and crimes, which Trump has helped to cause, leading to states like Florida banning even the mention in schools of LGBTQIA+ even existing even if that prevents a child talking about their own parents.
2) The Republicans have made no secret of the fact that gay marriage is their next target after reversing Roe v Wade, along with other things they deem to be immoral like contraception & IVF!
Most if not all of the LGBTQIA+ community in the US is rightly terrified of Trump becoming president again.
You are at best complacent.
9:00 the reason older people are so rude and younger people aren't is because we have different concepts of what respect means. Older people think respect means "treat me like an authority" instead of "treat me like an equal"
That's what I came here to say. I used to have a family member like that that would prattle on about respect and my answer every single time was just 'do something worth respecting then' lol.
They couldn’t wait to become old to treat younger people like shit and are now upset we don’t care about their wannabe dictator behavior
As much as i agree with that idea, theres is a lot of young people who are rude as well just in their own way
Reminds me of the post someone made once where they pointed out these two meanings and then went on “and when they say ‘if you don’t respect me I won’t respect me’ they mean ‘if you don’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person’”. What people mean by “respect” is inconsistent depending on who’s speaking and who they’re speaking to.
@@destructocat1960 when I worked retail, I found that every generation could be rude or nice, but the seniors were the top of both categories. Some of the sweetest people I ever helped were seniors. And all the worst were also seniors. They were the type to yell over absolutely nothing. The other gens would say something rude and leave the seniors that were rude would let you know the world was falling apart and it's your fault.. the nice ones would would let you know you made their day better and that they appreciate it.

Its not that he doesnt believe in vaccines. Stop being purposefully disingenuous. He just wants more testing when it comes to them.

It's not even about being "bad with money" when the American financial system punishes you if you're too fiscally responsible too. I'm in my late 30s and if I want to buy a car, I'll have no choice but to go to one of those car lots with absurdly high interest, since I have no credit. I'm a "ghost" because I've not taken out loans or had any credit cards, which is worse than having bad credit. Because I was taught to live within my means and not buy things I can't afford. The American financial system rewards living just above your means, unfortunately...
That's where you have to work the system a bit. Take out a loan for something you don't need a loan for, pay it back on schedule - bingo, you have a credit history. Talk to a financial adviser about the best sort of loan and payback period to do this with minimal interest and fees expense.
That's why inflation rates are lower during Republican presidencies.
@@8onnie8oyz I'm sorry to inform you, but to the best of my knowledge that's not true.
@@tealkerberus748 from what I hear, that won't work either. At least not as well as having an active loan ongoing at all times.
Paying off your loans on time means you're not profitable to lend to, which means you get a lower credit score. You're back at square 1 unless you have a few loans to pay off at any given time
I'd recommend you get yourself a "credit builder" card. You pay them a deposit of a couple hundred bucks, and "borrow" against that balance. It's reported as a credit card, so your credit score will go up so long as you pay the purchases off on time. And if you successfully reach a certain threshhold, they give you the deposit back and upgrade it to a real credit card. My hubby did this when he moved in with me. Over the course of just 2 years, his credit went from the mid-500s (kinda bad) to 700 (good). That can be the difference between getting declined for an auto loan at anywhere that isn't super shady and having companies falling over themselves to convince you to use their loan above anyone else's. Starting from no credit instead of poor credit should make it even faster for you.
What I taught hubby to do with that credit builder was to pay off anything he bought immediately. Don't pay the minimum, pay the whole balance. You'll never pay more than what you bought if you don't let the card accrue any interest. And if you already have the mindset of "don't buy anything outside my means" you'll probably not overreach anyways. If you're worried, keep a log in your phone to track everything you've bought each week/month and keep yourself in a financially viable budget (or just use the card's app- most of them have auto-updating purchase logs). Also- use it to buy things you need anyways. Use it to pay off a utility bill or buy the weekly groceries. Your credit will improve very quickly.
That said- make sure the builder card and the credit card it upgrades into don't have a yearly or monthly fee. Those are fairly uncommon nowadays, but watch the terms for one anyways. They're just a money sink for no reason. There are plenty of other cards to choose from that don't charge you for the priviledge of having a rectangle of plastic with their logo and your name on it.
"Seniors over 55 years old should not have to pay school taxes. We do mot have any children in school."

@autisticwitch7581 yup. My dad used to take my nephew to school while his parents were working. Damn straight we would pay taxes for the school system
I'm 42 at the end of December, I have a 12 year old, a 7 year old, and a 1 year old. Hopefully my various forms of birth control don't all fail at once again, because having a minor child until I'm 58 is more than long enough.
My dad was 45 when he had me and 50 when he had my brother. My brother hadn't even started grade school when my dad was 55!!

13 years ago when I was still in uni here in Germany, a bunch of Yale Students stood in front of a women‘s dorm and chanted „no means yes, yes means anal.“ It really hounted young me for a while and impacted my trust in society, even so I am on another continent.

37:56 At first they came for, is a poem by Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller lamenting/repenting how he failed the tenants of his faith & morals after living through the horror of 1930-40s Germany.
"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me."
- _Martin Niemöller_
And to anyone wondering why _those_ are the groups he mentions: because that's the order the Nazis ate their faces in. All other groups were only rounded up after he was already in prison (in 1937). And the Catholic Church made a deal with Hitler (the Reichskonkordat - which is still in effect, btw).

Being instructed to "respect your elders" and to never talk to them "like you're their equals" was a lesson the Silent Generation & Boomers beat into their kids, usually literally. They worked hard to ensured that they would never have to be confronted over their appalling behaviour. I am so thrilled when younger generations treat them like they deserve.
I've always been in the "Talk shit, hear shit back", and yes, my boomer parents tried to beat it out of me; I realized VERY early on it's happen whether I talked back or not, so f!ck it... Like most of us did.
I think you mean appalling not appealing but I agree. My parents made sure I never talked back but when I grew up, I refused to shut up
Ok but children shouldn't talk to their parents like they do to their playmates. You can teach them that without beating them up.
@@diarmuidkuhle8181I agree but there's a lot of space between being actually disrespectful to your parents and allowed to have your own opinions on things and speak about it to them. Even if that means you sometimes disagree with your parents. This alone shouldn't be punished imo
Demanding respect for being old is the boomer equivalent of a participation trophy.
Gotta admit, the lack of emotional regulation thing is bang on. I was raised by my boomer grandmother, and while she is definitely not as bad as some of the assholes on this subreddit, her emotional regulation is nigh on non-existent. Every time my dad (her son) and I talk, we inevitably end up comparing notes on another unhinged reaction she has had to a completely normal occurrence. Best one so far was the ‘one day I’ll be dead and you’ll regret not answering your phone!’ text I got for not answering her call. I was in the middle of writing a text to tell her I was getting groceries and would call her back when I got home. She blew up that quick 🤦♀️
Ugh, I was told that about my sperm donors mother "You'll regret it when she's gone". Nope, it's been a couple years and I have zero regrets, didn't even go to the funeral. My grandma who was a total sweetheart on the other hand? Called her at least once a week, went over to visit and help out around the house every couple weeks (more if I had free time), and was genuinely excited to tell her things and spend time with her. I regret not spending even more time with her, and I spent at least 20x as much time with her.
Yeah, and unfortunately the only thing that will fix this is therapy, something they probably won’t consider until _after_ they experience the most severe consequences of their actions. It took me going no contact and mailing back my SIM card that was on their family phone plan for my mother to realize “ok, maybe therapy isn’t such a bad idea.” 1 year of family therapy appointments later and I now have normal loving parents who actually realize how their words effect people. For the first time I’m looking forward to thanksgiving.
So I have to agree that for boomers, it’s the lack of emotional regulation that has them doing F-ed up things. That’s typical for anyone who lashes out or acts passive aggressive all the time
I used to quarrel with my boomer dad about random factoids every time we would discuss sth. Then we both got smart phones. Now, when a difference of opinion occures, we whip out our phones, ok corral style, and start looking up the answer. Family meetings are much calmer this way.
7:20 I used to mow lawn for an old couple in my hometown, before the 2016 election they put up a massive Trump sign flying over their front door. Not standard flag size, like twice as big.
I was openly "gay" (closeted trans man with a gf) and they knew that. I felt uncomfortable with every interaction with them, eventually said I wasn't going to be mowing their lawn anymore.
I got a text message rant from him, no kidding like 10 texts, every one of them a novella about how Biden will ruin this country and I'm brainwashed etc. calling me an idiot and swearing profusely throughout the whole rant.
Just absolutely unhinged response to me calmly saying "I don't feel comfortable working for you any longer". Really proved my point.
Yup, and then they don't see how they're making you feel even more uncomfortable being around them.
It's like how they're now inventing nonsense about "HaRrIs SuPpOrTeRs" so that they can claim "Libruls" are in a cult, when they're the ones wearing diapers to show support for their tangerine -false messiah.
I tried to have empathy but now I see that they are overgrown toddlers who do not understand the concept of real compassion. You have to give them something for them to care - and they feel entitled to that something even when they give you nothing.
Now they want our country to be run by people like them. Narcissists all.
"Bowing to the golden calf" from a man who blatantly worships his politician candidate is really effing rich. It's the type of satire that would be considered too heavy-handed to be realistic.
Fraudulent "Christian" MAGAts don't have a right to preach at anyone for anything anymore, when they've clearly replaced any worship of God or Jesus with that of a hateful and greed-driven billionaire. They might as well just drop all pretenses of Christianity and declare Trump their Pharaoh.
the "bowing to the golden calf" is actually a rhetoric used by Dems, hijacked by trump supporters who have nothing original nor creative in their heads
It derives from trumpests following without question the false idol, or golden calf that trump represents, since he is not a religious individual, but wears the evangelical extremists religion. There was also a gold statue created as *checking notes* ' ' 'an award' ' ' for trump... doing something? I don't know, honest. It was a gold statue and they worship the orange freak. I may not be religious, but I am very hesitant to follow a people that follow a man who claims he's like their idol and protector - its sounds very culty.
IKR also "bowing to the golden calf of the MARXIST MACHINE" is almost an oxymoron by itself. It's kind of a beautiful sentence, but not for the right reasons!
Especially considering there was a golden statue of the president elect at the Conservative Political Action Conference that supporters were literally bowing to…

6:00 that was most likely an attempt at insurance fraud. She "slipped" on their property because of a slippery substance (her pizza she just dropped and intentionally stepped on) being left carelessly on the floor with no warning signs of the possible slip hazard
I would love to say this isn’t the case, because it doesn’t make sense to sue over a “slip hazard” that you created where one wasn’t there before. I would love to say it, but I can’t. Because I’ve seen people try to sue over insane things too many times, including truly crazy insurance fraud cases.
I’ve even had family involved in one. Just last month my relative’s shop was sued by someone because they allegedly tripped on the sidewalk across the street from the shop. The sidewalk is not owned by my relative, and managing it is the responsibility of the ones who own the entire strip mall, not the people who own one shop there. And there’s also an entire parking lot between that sidewalk and the shops at the mall that they also don’t own. So the only reason why this one shop is being targeted is likely because the person just chose whatever shop they saw first to blame for a sidewalk being slightly uneven. It truly is nonsense that this happened. And yet, they were sued anyways, and it’s probably going to end in a settlement where there’s still going to be more of a payout for this fraudster than they deserve. So yeah, I’ve seen too many people pull this bs to doubt you on this.
Yep, I've seen videos of people attempting this with bottles of oil and water, or packages of raw meat that they allow to drip on the floors. Then they take a running start.
That’s terrible surly the fact that the shop has cctv of her creating the trip hazard would shut down any lawsuit pretty quickly.
@@clairewilliams9416Pretty quick, but quick enough to stop her from getting that sweet nuisance suit money?
Well you know the best part of that? She's technically outside the store. Now I dunno _exactly_ how the laws work especially depending on where this shop is located. But it looks like a fairly urban city. And in general it's my understanding that the city owns the sidewalks. So as if it wasn't bad enough that she slipped on a hazard she intentionally created, but even if she was going to try and sue, she'd have to sue the city. The only angle she could even _try_ to go with to get the shop involved would be 'Because they sold her the pizza'. But let's be honest, there's no judge living or dead who would ever take a case like that seriously.
“Can you actually imagine this happening in your family?”
Me, very slowly side-glancing at the waste of carbon that is my incubator and her texan husband, both hardcore right-wingers, bigoted evangelical nutjobs, conspiracy glue huffer and just general idiots. “Yeah, I can imagine”.
I love those videos, they are cathartic in the best way.
Me, very slowly side-glancing my maternal grandfather who said, and this IS indeed a quote, that Trump "was the best President we ever had" and was actually tearing up after he lost the 2020 election. "Yeah... that would be awful..."
I normally go visit him around Thanksgiving, but... I don't think I can do it this year. No matter how much financial support he's given me over the years, I just don't think I can sit in his living room and chat like he didn't just vote against the rights of his two daughters and three of his four grandchildren (especially my sister because she's trans!). On the one hand, I should probably check with him to see if he actually did vote Trump before I do anything different from the norm, but on the other... I'm pretty sure I know the answer and it isn't worth the fight. I'd rather just ghost him.
Same. Thankfully most of the Trump nuts in my family are pretty old and easy to avoid seeing. And by this point a lot of them are dead so I never have to see them again. Unfortunately my spawn points are happy he won because they think he will ban abortion (like total ban, no exceptions no matter what).
Me: *side eyeing my dad, my two older sisters, my Aunt on my mom's side and her husband, my cousin, my grandma on my mom's side, my uncles on my mom's side, my uncle on my dad's side, my aunt on my dad's side, you get the picture* "Yes, yes I can."
A clarification for those citing Martin Niemoller: While he's well known for "First they came for", he didn't actually write the poem. That was an edited version of a speech he gave on 6 January, 1948 as part of the church admitting fault, the Confessing Church:
"... the people who were put in the camps then were Communists. Who cared about them? We knew it, it was printed in the newspapers. Who raised their voice, maybe the Confessing Church? We thought: Communists, those opponents of religion, those enemies of Christians-"should I be my brother's keeper?"
Then they got rid of the sick, the so-called incurables. I remember a conversation I had with a person who claimed to be a Christian. He said: Perhaps it's right, these incurably sick people just cost the state money, they are just a burden to themselves and to others. Isn't it best for all concerned if they are taken out of the middle [of society]? Only then did the church as such take note.
Then we started talking, until our voices were again silenced in public. Can we say, we aren't guilty/responsible?
The persecution of the Jews, the way we treated the occupied countries, or the things in Greece, in Poland, in Czechoslovakia or in Holland, that were written in the newspapers. ... I believe, we Confessing-Church-Christians have every reason to say: mea culpa, mea culpa! We can talk ourselves out of it with the excuse that it would have cost me my head if I had spoken out.
We preferred to keep silent. We are certainly not without guilt/fault, and I ask myself again and again, what would have happened, if in the year 1933 or 1934-there must have been a possibility-14,000 Protestant pastors and all Protestant communities in Germany had defended the truth until their deaths? If we had said back then, it is not right when Hermann Göring simply puts 100,000 Communists in the concentration camps, in order to let them die. I can imagine that perhaps 30,000 to 40,000 Protestant Christians would have had their heads cut off, but I can also imagine that we would have rescued 30-40,000 million [sic] people, because that is what it is costing us now." -- Martin Niemoller
Reminds me that conservative Christians are the core trump supporters. Pastors have been spreading the “values” (/s) of bigotry, misogyny, selfishness, rejection of critical thinking, etc. for decades and on that fertile substrate maga has thrived.
I have always wondered how a country that spends billions to indoctrinate children into thinking that the earth is 6000 years old, evolution is a hoax and science lies to people, can continue to function as a modern developed country.
I always have to laugh when US conservatives use words they don't understand, like "marxist" or "radical left". On a party level the US doesn't HAVE a left. They have a moderate right and a pantscrapping crazy far right. :D
Yep. For most first world countries, Democrats ARE their right-wing party. For them, our 'radical left' is their 'barely left of center'.
Liberals (called Social Democrats in Europe) are the moderate wing of fascism, yes.
They equate "I saw a few college students online saying this" to the open courting of far-right extremists, despite the Dems never doing anything to appeal to anyone nor than an inch left of center.
It's either all a big nothingburger, or teaming up with white supremacists is necessary to stop Harris from instituting anarcho-communisn with her jackbooted Antifa and BLM thugs
Right? The effing CDU/CSU here in Germany is more left-leaning than the Dems in the US! That's nuts!
I wouldn't describe that as "moderate" right. Moderate right parties in civilised countries still believe in education and health care - not as something they might speculate about from time to time, but as core tenets of civilisation.

15:30 No joke, this exact conversation happened today at my new job. We were doing orientation for new employees and the CEO showed up there, and he sat down and explained that he's stressed about the new presidency because tariffs were already high for his liking but are going to absolutely skyrocket. (Most of our product is manufactured overseas, specifically in China.) He had to explain what tariffs were and how they worked. Two of my coworkers, who were bragging and celebrating how Trump won and how "that r////d Camel-a" (their words, not mine) didn't make it into office and blah blah blah ALL day long after the election, were sitting there in shock with their jaws on the floor hearing how pricey things were about to get. It was kind of satisfying seeing them lose a bit of faith in their lord and savior Annoying Orange. I hope the CEO's plan to get manufacturing going elsewhere goes well, or I might be out of a job when everyone decides $800 is too much for a griddle.

36:36 this is so so disgusting. I moved away to go to school and my ballot came to my parents’ house. (I wrongfully believed my voter registration to have expired.) They tried to turn in the ballot making me vote for Tr*mp, but thankfully it didn’t count because they didn’t know how to write my signature. I’m still getting phonecalls about it though 🤦
This was literally my dad after the election:
“I think it’s great that we have a businessman in office. After all, America is kind of a business, so it needs to be ran by someone who knows what it’s like to run one..” 🙄
I should start a list of things that I can use against him when there is a talk about politics and see his reaction to it
Well, you can add atleast 26 failed businesses on that list
Good business people don't bankrupt casinos.
A good starting pont would probably be the six past businesses of his that went bankrupt.
I always ask these people "what business do you know cares about the working class? Tell me how many companies you've worked for that understood that sometimes you can wake up and be too sick to work or some other emergency happened that made you unable to go into work that day and they were okay with it. Possibly even giving you paid leave? Or wanted you to have a fair and equal pay like others?"
I'm always just genuinely curious as to how they're figuring that a businessman, successful or not, would ever have their best interest in mind
Unfortunately both sides can be pretty awful and instead of talking about coming together to make a better nation, both sides get an us vs them mentality. Reminds me about what click said in the video. It stops beimg about logic and starts being about a sense of community
"If the system is rigged, it doesn't really matter how hard you work if you get stuck in it."
*Well what if I rig the system? Huh?*

How?
I'd be like, "Thanks for the great idea for next year's Halloween decorations. I'm totally doing a Satanic Nativity scene." 😂

There's video up of a home that did an epic Halloween light show choreographed to Pink Pony Club. Has been looping rent free in my head since seeing it a couple weeks ago. One of the things that got me through the election. Wish they were my neighbors, I wouldn't even mind the light pollution/noise disturbance.
I was surprised when discussing the Trump voter costume that it wasn't pointed out how truly scary it is!
I am stealing the idea from you, thank you very much

The one about people over 55 shouldn’t have to pay taxes for schools because they don’t have kids, my dad is 59 and my youngest brother is 12. He’s still in school and my dad is almost 60. Just because YOU don’t have kids in school doesn’t mean NOBODY over 55 has no kids in school.
Also any loving grandparent who has enough income to pay taxes should be glad to help fund their grandkids' education.
They shouldn't be allowed to go to any professional with any education. You want heart surgery? Sorry, you weren't interested in paying for his education, so you have to go with the guy who watched a YT video instead.
The baby boomer homelessness article wasn't referring to the boomers themselves seeing rates like during the great depression for homelessness. What it was saying is that the boomers are becoming homeless at a rate that is as fast and common as homelessness was during the great depression. So basically, it's just saying homelessness hasn't been this rampant since the great depression. It's rough in the states. Not only has the price of food and everything else skyrocketed, but everyone is forced to rent because you can't find homes for purchase anymore without being filthy rich, and rent goes up almost every year by between 30-60$ depending on location, but where I live it's been in that range. About another 30$ a year for a rundown crappy studio apartment or a hike of 60$+ a year if you live in a even moderately nice apartment. Other places have evicted all their tenants to raise the cost of rent from 700$ or more to about a grand a month. These landlords and companies charging these ungodly rent prices all need to be thrown in jail and their properties forfeited. Landlords practically have monopolies in each city for living spaces and everyone else suffers because of their greed. It's disgusting and utterly despicable. Can't even work to survive without at least two people for one small apartment. It's horrid.
socialism would be the answer but for americans, capitalism is god.
Baby Boomers weren't even alive during the Great Depression. They were born in the 50s and 60s, and the Depression was in the 30s.
Kamala Harris wanted to build 3 million new affordable homes, and I think she also had plans for discouraging “buy to b&b”. More houses on the real estate market automatically reduce house and rent prices.
Apparently Americans weren’t interested. Seems to me Christians don’t give a flying F for their “neighbors” who need a helping hand.
Re the guy who said that Trump protects "his kind"
I am not Trump's kind, and neither are you. I'm assuming by his kind, we both mean billionaires, because that's the only kind of people I'm sure he'll try to protect.
And even then, I'd be really wary. Trump doesn't even consider HIS OWN KIDS "his kind" if they don't show absolute loyalty to him.
His "kind" are his golfing buddies
Republicans protect the hard-workers of the economy. Hard work pays off.
Calling someone your kind is crazy, baffled on how people voted for him
At most he will pardon the people that attempted a resurrection for him and were arrested
44:00 Oh lord, I've actually experienced something like this as well. Some old bag harassed me, who was walking down the sidewalk playing pokemon go during the height of its popularity, because she was convinced I was taking pictures of "which houses to rob." I tried being cordial and gently explaining it was a game, not a camera, app and she could look at my screen while I catch something nearby so she could see for herself. I stead, she suddenly snaps from listening intently to "WAIT, YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO GET CLOSE TO ME TO SILENCE ME BECAUSE I'M ONTO YOU!!!" She starts threatening to call the police. I say "ugh, okay, good luck with that. I'm going to get lunch at the restaurant I was walking towards before you stopped me though so send them that way and I'll tell them how unreasonable you've been." She never called them I take it because they never showed lol
While they weren't boomers, a similar thing happened to me except it was Pikmin Bloom and the two threatened assault. Like sorry the game's equivalent of a pokestop was on their street? Even after showing them, they only somewhat backed down, but it was still clear they'd try something if we crossed paths again.
Suffice to say, I've never went back to that street again, and I've been better at remembering to bring my pepper spray.
@@Lunar994 I've been so terrified of something similar happening when I play Pikmin Bloom that I only walk alone when I'm in a public place like a mall or around my own neighborhood where people recognize me at least a little and give me a friendly hello instead of a suspicious glare. Having my 6'2" husband with me is the only reason I feel comfortable walking downtown or in other residential areas.
@animeartist888 Sadly, said house is on the next street to the right a couple blocks away.
I'm still playing Ingress, the pre-decessor to Pokemon Go, and recently heard about a doc that recommends it (not only) for his senior patients. It gets them off the coucht and has a "brain jogging" part where you have to remember and repeat patterns on the screen ;)
So to speak about the "default" order of inheritance... I live in a state that does not legally recognize marital or familial assets. So if I die without a will, anything I own that does not have my spouse's name on it defaults to the state. It doesn't matter how long we've been married or if they can demonstrate that they have financial stake, if he is not on the title or deed and it's not in my will, it doesn't matter. So it's important to know your local laws and to have a will!
Yep. Or in some places it defaults to your parents, even if you have kids and a partner. I made a will at like 20 so my parents don't get shit.
Honestly, I think the reason some of the older generation hasn't learned about actions=consequences is because of their weird idea of respect combined with how they were raised.
They were taught not to disrespect or question their elders. Did this stop them? Absolutely not. However, now that they're the elders, they believe they should be "respected". Respect, to them, means being treated like an authority who is above consequences.
Plus, when they were younger, stronger, more attractive, etc, they probably DID get away with more.
Lastly, they just haven't kept up. When they were young, smoking was allowed, so it should ALWAYS be allowed, because the passage of time doesn't exist to peiple who don't want to admit they're aging.
That last paragraph is a key component. No one thinks of themself as aging on a regular basis so the tendency is to see what the world was like in your HS/college years as what it should always be like.
Remember, the Boomers were the generation that said, "Never trust anyone over 30."
And then they turned 30, and couldn't handle it.
By the time they turned 40, they were already attacking us Gen-Xers for not being like they were when they were our age. They called us "slackers." Our response was, "Oh, so you want us to go out and protest and make a lot of noise about the ills of the world, and then sell out like you did?"
Someone I knew, back in _my 20s,_ from the Baby Boom generation once started in with, "Your generation may think, 'Never trust anyone over 30,' now, but…" That's when I interrupted him, "No Gen-X doesn't say that. You have 2 words too many. We say, 'Never trust anyone.'" He was quite shocked by that.
I no longer know how true that is, since I'm discovering that a lot of my fellow Gen-Xers are not as awake and aware as my friends and family from my generation are.
OH MY GOD. that military veteran one happened right by my brothers house, his neighbor was the veteran for Harris!!!!! Super cool dude also keeps a mannequin outside on his porch and dresses it differently every so often
The post at 22:19 is hilarious to me because MY FATHER IS 57 AND HAS CHILDREN STILL IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. I'm not exactly on good terms with my catholic parents, as a trans woman, but this just goes to show that even the small things these fools say are stupid.
this!! my mom just turned 59 on the 13th, and i’m turning 18 in january- i’m still in school!! basically what i’m saying, my mom has been in her 50s for just about all of my school life.
I knew someone whose mom had her last kid at 49, so 57 would've still been elementary school. Yeah, the kid had the nickname of gallbladder because Mom thought she'd gone into menopause (she wasn't just being stupid, the circumstances made it incredibly believable) and didn't notice until her "gallbladder" started acting up again, only to get to the hospital and learn she was in labor.
Even if they were right, they still need educated professionals 🤦🏼♀️
I used to work in customer service & in my opinion: Customer service is the equivalent of baby-sitting toddlers who never learned to grow up. You do occasionally get those people who are nice & patient, but more often than not, they either don't care & are minding their own business or are entitled brats. That being said the ratio I've gotten of people from the older generations vs those from the younger generation isn't even close as I've had more people that were at least a decade or more older than me lose their shit over us being out of something, not being able to hold an item over what we're allowed to, me literally not being able to do something & them not being able to twist my arm to make me do it, etc
Don't forget those people who don't understand how the sales on the signs work, "but the sign says buy one get one free" of the same candy, you need to buy two of the same candy, not another more expensive candy for free
There's records from hundreds or thousands of years ago of people complaining about, "the young generation."
I wish we could support the younger generations, instead of tearing them down and waiting for their downfall.
6:31 So funny story; a couple months or so before the election my Trump supporter grandpa came home in a bad mood because he saw a sign in support of Kamala Harris in someone else’s yard. He got upset because of a sign in a yard that wasn’t his 😂
I wonder if he also calls liberals/progressives "snowflakes".
@@LoremIpsum-dp1li Never in front of me but I wouldn’t be surprised if he did and I just wasn’t there
TBF seeing a neighborhood of trump signs after a perfectly nice social event brought me low and in tears for the rest of the night and some of the next, so it's not just a trump supporter thing.
Sounds about right sadly
12:49 my dad called me a millennial once
Reader, my dad is a millennial
My dad firmly believes that they are gen X, my dads parents are gen X
Ooof 😑
Gen-X: born between 1964 and 1980.
Millennials: born between 1980 and either 1996 [new defn.] or 2000 [orig. defn.]
Are you sure your grandparents aren't from the Baby-Boom generation [1945-1964]? Or do you have really young grandparents and parents?
@ my grandma was born in 1969 mate, my dad was 1989
I think I know which damn generation they are

10:06 literally happening here in Brazil right now as we're trying to abolish the 6 days work week in favor of a 4 days work week (and maybe we'll only get 5 but that'd already be an improvement for the majority of workers).
Recently, my dad freaked out in a Walmart because the cashier (a young guy about my age) thought my dad had stolen two lemons that were already on the conveyor belt before we arrived. He completely lost it and started screaming. The poor guy was just doing his job. Also, my dad is kind of racist, too, because he hates Russians (and the cashier had a Russian accent). As someone with pretty bad social anxiety, that was absolute hell for me.
Just remember that you don't have to go to a funeral for someone you don't love (at the most extreme end)
And also, you're pretty much guaranteed to be a better role model for others by simply remaining as self aware as you currently are.
it would suck if your dad got banned from that store but i think it would only suck for him
I would be funny if cashier didn't had Russian accent, but Polish, Ukrainian or other slavonic one.
The same geezers who be calling people sensitive snowflake crybabies throw the biggest tantrums. It's hilariously ironic.
Every time I hear them say ‘snowflake’ to mean something weak, my brain buffers a little - they need a new metaphor. I’m in Canada where blizzards can shut down cities. Snowflakes are rarely seen alone. 🌨️
I had someone call me a snowflake and "a pronoun people"....while SCREAMING at me for "misgendering" their kids plushie cactus....that I didn't gender. Like screaming in such distress store security and management showed up in 30 seconds thinking someone was SAing a child. She immediately started blaming me, well until a couple people in the vicinity backed me up stating all I'd said was "I like your cactus", and management offered to check the cameras. At which point she immediately stopped fake crying and dropped her complaint. Too late, store policy meant any accusations of assault required a camera review. Someone was escorted from the store and it wasn't me.
The saddest bit for me though was the kid didn't react to the rant at all (and they weren't deaf because they had smiled at me when I complimented their toy), which means they were used to it.
@ yikes! That poor kid. It’s really sad when I feel like a kid’s best hope is someone calling CPS on their looney tunes parents.
@@christinamann3640 yep. Sadly CPS in my area barely takes physical abuse seriously. Like "just a bruise? Why are you calling?" type stuff. Basically if a kid has a bed, food, clothes, goes to school and doesn't have broken bones nothing gets done. Oh wait, unless it's a kid with a diagnosed bruising disorder, **then** it's abuse and they'll drag the kid to the car and blame the mother for the large hand size bruises that show up on the kids arms the next day, despite the fact the her hands were significantly smaller. Or leukemia.
35:30 One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
Carl Sagan
Carl predicted the current state of things in his last book, "The Demon Haunted Land."
We're going back into the Medieval era, it seems.
@John_Weiss I'm aware. It's where the quote is from.
@@literalsarcasm1830 Thanks. I couldn't remember if that quote was from the book of from one of his final interviews.
Yep. It's way easier to fool someone than convince them they've been fooled.
@@waffles3629 The Amazing Randy actually once did a little experiment around this. I don't fully remember all of the details, but I do recall that, after the hoax had been revealed and the tricks used to fool people had been carefully explained … some people refused to believe it they'd been taken in and still insisted that it was real.
I don't recall how many people got mad at _him_ for fooling them, rather than learning the lesson that we humans are easily fooled. But knowing how people are, I'm sure there was a not so small fraction of them.
Heck, I may have even learned about that thing with The Amazing Randy _from Carl Sagan,_ whether from "The Demon-Haunted Land" or in an interview with him.
My uncle is realizing how bad the orange man is a bit to late, after he voted my rights as a disabled, trans, and queer kid away, his wife and daughter and his own as a queer person. It’s nice that he understands now but the damage is done and he just isn’t someone I want to be around anymore.
On the other hand my grandmas sister voted for him and doesn’t see why it’s wrong.. now she’s upset I won’t talk to her. Shocker huh
Respectfully, what right have you lost under Trump and what rights will you lose? I’m genuinely asking because I’m an independent voter and don’t pay attention to policies.
@ trump want to take rights and or resources away from disabled, POC and queer people. Nothing has yet been in affect that I’m aware of but my aunt has said how they’re building camps for immigrants and stuff (that doesn’t affect me obviously and I’m not sure if it’s true since it was explained in a weird way for my autism brain so idk what to look up)
Essentially right now it’s just fear and a bad man who has bad plans but if he’s serious on his plans then it could mean trouble. Ntm women have been getting attacked online since the day he won so if I’m being honest I’m more scared of his supporters than of him
@@amaranthinenight8733 The same Republicans who repealed Roe v. Wade (women's right to choose whether or not to have an abortion, essentially) are his buddies. Project 2025 is the Republican plan for the next 4 years, and includes things like: removing the anti-discriminatory laws for LGBT+ people, birth control pills (especially the "morning after pill") being outlawed or at least made much harder to obtain, the removal of Obamacare/Affordable Care Act so anyone who cannot afford or insurance or has pre-existing conditions is just screwed, and illegal immigrants who have been here working our fields for pennies being forcibly deported and banned from ever entering the country legally despite never causing any trouble in the 20-30 years they've lived here.
Add to that the whole insurrection thing where he incited a riot on our capitol because he didn't like that he lost, and all the misinformation about the 2020 election being "stolen" or "rigged." And then of course all the language he uses about "fake news" anytime the press says something about him he doesn't like- even something as simple as fact-checking his speeches- and his general attitude about immigrants and women (remember "grab her by the pussy"?). He's not a great person in general. And that's not even mentioning the disastrous effects we're expecting on the economic side of things with the tariffs and deportations he has planned.
And since Republicans now also have a majority in the Senate and the House, the damage done in the next 4 years by the MAGA cult could be very disastrous and also take legitimately multiple decades to get back to where it was before. It's... gonna be bad for basically anyone who isn't straight, white, male, and upper class. If you want more detail, I highly recommend you skim Project 2025 or look up a neutral source summary of it. But fair warning, it's extremely depressing and has some real Handmaiden's Tale shit, so buckle up.
@@Cosmiccrying No offense, but it sounds like you are just listening to fear mongering. You have just stated that he hasn’t said anything outright and you don’t even know if he will do anything.
Also, I have read up a little on things and it sounds like if he wanted to take rights away from people, he would’ve done it his first term. Why wait 4 years, lose an election to Biden and then hope to win and take away people’s right? It doesn’t make sense. Besides, he’s already given abortion back to the states permanently. Kamala nor Trump can take that away and he has already promised that insurance companies will be forced to pay for IVF for women. That sounds like giving women better healthcare and rights to me. Not taking them away. That’s just what I’ve researched recently.
There is one part that I agree with you on though, I’m scared for his supporters too. Black men and women are being attacked and ridiculed on the streets simply for voting for Trump. I also have seen people get spit on and assaulted for wearing a Trump hat. Scary world out there where if someone disagrees with you, it gives them the right to attack and silence you.
@@amaranthinenight8733 Trump wants to get rid of the ACA and remove gender and sexuality from anti discrimination laws. Which would make it legal to discriminate against people for being LGBT. And it would make me lose my health insurance because I have so called "pre-existing conditions".
35:49 That’s unfortunately how most people throughout history have made decisions: what feels good (or bad, some people seem to want to be afraid or angry), gets them social acceptance in a community, and/or reaffirms their biases.
I mean yeah, the party that lacks empathy, critical thought and introspection is in charge... what could possibly go wrong?
I'm so tired of "I'm not part of this demographic so I shouldn't pay taxes related to that demographic"..... The point of taxes is literally so someone doesn't pay out of pocket for stuff, also, I bet those people would very much mind if people stoped paying the taxes that help them. It's so weird how this people seem to think that only they pay taxes for others, and that others don't pay taxes for them? Then again, they probably think they earned everything they have, like ya know, roads, clean streets, police, army, yup, they payed for all of that directly and definitely isn't the collective effort of everyones taxes.... It's funny how they complain about higher taxes cuz they won't have enough to pay out of pocket for stuff then (ignoring the fact that the reach should pay higher taxes to reduce the amount the middle and lower class has to pay) but yes... That is the point, so at the end, you don't need to pay 50k for an ambulance, it becomes free.... You dunce...
Regarding not taking out student loans, I'm in an incredibly privileged position. My parents are letting me live at home rent-free to work my way through school well into my 20s. At two classes a semester, my tuition is over $3,000 per semester. Parking on campus is $8 a day. Textbooks and homework programs are a few hundred dollars. It's taking me twice as long as it should because I'm not taking loans, and I'm still privileged because of my housing situation. How are 18 year old kids supposed to navigate this shit?
9:45 my college tuition per semester is $12,000 for 4 classes. If I hadn't been medically discharged from the military I would not be able to go to college. I still have to pay $400-$600 a semester depending on books or if I need special access to a website.

i watched a lawyer talk about police bodycam of that boomer biker and apparently he got off with little consequence, he could have been charged with battery and unlawful detainment. he didn't, so i suspect he'll keep doing that unless someone actually does charge him with that. on the brighter side, the kid didn't have to pay his ticket after they checked his dashcam and realized that the boomer was flipping over nothing. and over all the police officer did a very good job talking with the boomer and deescalating his behavior, which was a nice change after constantly hearing how awful usamerican police is.
They should have pressed charges against him instead of letting him get away with it by throwing yet another tantrum.

I love the "Satan impregnates all his wives on Halloween" one.. How many brides does he have? How many years has he been doing this? How much c*m can he have to impregnate this many women every Halloween? How many children does he have??? How do these brides manage to get pregnant on Halloween precisely every time? Do these children all share the same birthday? How can Satan afford all these children?? Does he have a favorite? Are these brides basically perpetually pregnant? I have so many questions for this woman.
It's magic, obviously.
17:57 Halloween is the time of year Satan impregnates his bride? I am so glad to hear that Satan spoke his vows before God, and honestly a little impressed to hear about Mrs. Satan's eagerness for childbearing.

Disabilities: Don't have to have a wheelchair, or an artificial leg or anything of the sort to be eligible for the disability privileges. You could have a chronic back pain for instance.

Same misconception of how many people believe service dogs are only for blind people or can only be a retriever type dog; Labrador, golden, etc. Or especially if they are smaller dogs.

I hate it here. “Then leave” I am a lower- middle class American. I can’t afford to leave.
Fr 😔
"Then leave" oh, are you gonna bankroll me?
You are a Slave...
From a European perspective.
You're literally owned by the US, and if you left, you'd still have to pay US taxes... In addition to whatever taxes of the country you'd be living in.
No other country taxes citizens living abroad a second time like the USA...
You literally have to renounce your US citizen ship by paying a $2,350.00 fee, to free yourself from their financial grip on you!
Which is a fee, most lower to middle class people could never afford, while also leaving.
That argument is so silly because what If you dont want to leave? Even If someone could afford it, emigrating is a huge ordeal.
Wouldnt you rather want to improve the country you are currently in?
Imagine If the people dumping the tea at Boston harbour had been told to just go to another colony that isnt owned by Britain If they didnt like their laws.
@@tobiasbayer4866 Not to mention... leave where? I couldn't afford college, and didn't want to go into debt, so I have no degree or marketable skills. I have no experience in jobs of importance because... I don't have a degree. You can't just pull out your passport, say "I would like to live in your country now" and just do that. You need to be valuable. And if you're disabled, well, there are lots of places that consider you not a valuable worker just for that fact alone. I don't understand why people thing that emigrating is just aas easy as pointing at a map and just moving. If you don't have a partner in another country, and have no marketable skills, on top of not having a lot of disposable income... like, where are you gonna go???? It's not like moving states.
Ah, Trumpers. Yes, he very much did call soldiers who were taken prisoner 'losers'. The Afghan thing was his fault too, he decided the US were going to pull out, gave no plan, wouldn't cooperate with Biden and left him in the position that meant it all went hugely tits-up in the way it did.
I think the 'also a veteran' crack implies it's personalised, but who knows at this point
Hallowe'en is not about Satan, it's about the fact it's the day before All Saints (All Hallows Eve --> Hallowe'en) and also borrowing from Samhain, which is mostly about the spirits of the dead wandering about because the veil is at its thinnest that night
I have definitely groaned and sighed and rolled my eyes when they won't fork over my meds, but I a. have a valid prescription, frequently one I ordered a _week_ ago, and b. I don't yell at the staff because bureaucracy is a little bitch, I just take a deep breath, say thank you to the nice person and leave (usually either it's not there for some reason, or the dispensing pharmacist has buggered off on lunch, and the only time I got close to screaming was when it took until my third visit in four days to actually get the refill of meds that ran out that evening)
Ugh, I'm about to potentially have to call the board of pharmacology on my pharmacy (they gave me an capless open bottle missing pills and are saying it was full with a cap) and I'm still not planning on yelling at them when I give them a second chance tomorrow. It's 100% their fault and I can still manage to not yell.
11:23 I actually had a teacher that went on anti vax rants during the class.. I do wonder how the hell is she still a teacher there despite being like that
