    It is racial.
    18 to 29 year olds are just over 50% White
    While in 1960 18 to 29year olds were nearly 90% White.

    It's actually Jews at the top who are the destroyers & dividers.

    Although, Trump made it a lot worse.

    Personally there is no hope for America, Boomers fcked everything up.

    Its annoying that you dont seem to comprehend how far down the road we agree, but I would like to get back to the subject of how the Failed Universities have wrecked America.
    I choose my own words like the Americans of olden times........before this dystopia arrived.

    It's the same thing every time we meet on generational lines. The younger people are just too lazy and inadequate to do anything and the older people are to sat in their ways.

    Really I tend to like Jerry clowers explanation on this. Most younger people are good hard-working people and 5% of them are sorry, and people paid way too much attention to the 5%.

    I would say that works in retrospect too.

    I don't think colleges did much of anything to destroy America.

    If anything Whites are getting more Conservative each generation.

    Blacks & Jews are just collectivist.

    Blacks & Jews voted FDR even though back then FDRs Democrats were deeply racist & antisemitic.

    Because they believed collectivism by FDR was superior.

    I think college professors might have tried to change views.

    But, seem to remained relatively futile.

    The only thing a college degree guarantees you is debt along the lines of a modest home mortgage and a predilection for progressive thought. Some bargain.

    Hasn’t always been that way. If I was 18 I wouldn’t touch college with a ten foot pole unless I had a career path in an area where I’m at least going to have good degree of confidence I’d have a *good* job on the other side.

    I’d give a hard look at learning a trade or maybe even the military.

    Nah, I worked at a Animal feed store for years with never ending use of hand trucks & lifting heavy bags over 6 hours with no break time for 6 to 7 days a week.
    For years.

    I actually replaced a Mexican illegal.

    The issue is such hard work & low pay gets you hardly anywhere.

    I saw many Gen Z do that work & did so for a couple of years. Before going to college so they wouldn't have to work like a donkey for scraps.

    Our younger generations are some of the least prepared for life people who have ever existed, and their parents generation is most to blame for that.

    With 20% less real wages & maybe 45% more college debt.

    How could they be prepared!?

    The real lazy generation was the Boomers.

    They had lots of Boomers doing nothing on the dole supplemental income.

    That changed under Clinton's Welfare reform.

    I used to work in an Amazon warehouse. Literally everyday we had new people come in and people were fired for the most frivolous and unfair reasons. One coworker missed a day without calling in because her daughter was in a car crash. The daughter died later that night. Amazon fired her because she was a "no-call, no-show." She'd been there for two years and never missed a damn day. She was a hard worker who did her job and never complained. Another coworker was fired because his car wouldn't start (it was winter). Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos sells a $1 billion/yr in Amazon stocks to fund his space exploration hobby.

    We need better laws in America to protect the little guy. It's really fucking disgusting how the Republicans fight the little guy.
    It's all BS.
    Just another President to increase the debt for future generations.

    I do agree with more worker rights to some degree.

    But, outsourcing & immigration are harmful to workers rights.

    What do Democrats plan to do about those issues!?

    PS.
    I do agree with increasing minimum wage to maybe 9.50 an hour.

    But, Biden's plan to 15 will collapse businesses especially small businesses already struggling with Covid.

    Then it shouldn't be hard to understand why there is opposition to student loan debt relief?

    So in the future don't bother asking. If I have them and I care enough I will present them upon my first statement.
    I knew you were lying.
