This young woman says that she quit her job and doesn’t want to work, then blames capitalism and “this economy” as the reasons why she can’t spend her life in pursuit of things she enjoys.
This is an entire generation of spoiled children who are upset that no one will pay them to sit around the house all day playing video games and smoking weed. Her dream is to be a Tik Tok star, because she sees that as the key to living a life of leisure. This is the reason why Democrats are slipping towards communism. The young people all think that communism means the government will take care of you while you sit around and do nothing, but they never make the leap to asking themselves where the government will get the food, iPhones, Internet service, and all of the material goods with which to care for them.
It reminds me of a couple of stories. One was where my sister’s daughter, then aged 14, had a conversation about economics with me. It started because my niece made the statement that people should get things that are necessary for free, because we all have a right to the necessities of life. She used feminine hygiene products as an example.
I told her that I wasn’t picking on her, but pointed out to her that, since no one was paying for tampons, there would be no money to pay the people who worked in the tampon factory, so why would anyone work there for free?
Her first reply was, “Wait! There is a tampon factory?”
I said, “Well just where do you think tampons come from? Is there a tampon tree somewhere?”
She replied, “Well, in that case, I suppose you could get women to work there and pay them with free tampons.”
I said, “What would that be worth? If everyone gets tampons for free anyway, so why would they want to work there to get the free tampons everyone else gets? How are the women working there going to eat, buy gas, or buy a house?”
She said, “That’s my point. Money is stupid. Why can’t everyone just trade and barter for stuff? Why should we all have to go to work just to be able to afford the things we need to live? The government can just print all of the money we need.” That child is now 17 years old, and will be graduating from high school this year. She still has very little work ethic and still no understanding of the hows and whys of money and earning a living.
Her older sister is even worse. At 25 years old, she and her boyfriend live at home with mommy, but is saying that she is an adult and doesn’t have to follow rules. She doesn’t have a drivers license and depends on her mother for rides to work, shopping, etc. She went to college for a year, but decided that was not what she wanted, so now works as a waitress and refuses to help with rent, food, or any other expenses or chores around the house. She expects mommy to cook, clean, and do her laundry for her. No surprise: she is a hard core left wing Democrat and dresses like a walking freak show. Her days off are spent smoking weed, as near as I can tell. My sister gave her an ultimatum that she had to move out by a certain date. That date was October 1, 2022.
She is still living there.
This entire generation has an immature, childish way of looking at the world. This is a large portion of the youth of today. They want socialism because they don’t want to do anything but party, and they are believing the line that communism means someone else works in the factory (if they even think about it long enough to realize there are factories), someone else grows and transports the food, and they get to smoke weed and play at a life of leisure all day. I don’t know how we can reach them. It seems to be a lost cause. Instead of working for a living, they are voting for a living. This is why they are pushing so hard for illegal immigration- they need their slave labor to do the work they aren’t willing to do. It’s been going on for a decade.
I sound like an old man bitching about “these kids today.” Time to go do something productive.
