Speaking about young Marines: 

A guy I served with 20+ years ago passed through town last weekend.  He was here to see his son graduate crew chief school at the Air Station.   He was also here a few months back bringing him... 

Covid19 disallows large groups and complicated graduation.... so... we had a party at my place for the class.  

I had stacks of burgers and hotdogs, and a lot of drinks... ots blazing hot and humid here right now.  

To my amazement, and I truly mean amazement, those Marines were more interested in the pool and playing softball in the yard... not to say there wasn't some beer drank, but there were zero drunk... not a single one.   

I told my buddy nearing the end of the night "of this were us 30 years ago, we'd be houling at the moon and trying to figure out how to resup the beer situation"... he said that was exactly what he was thinking too.... 

This younger generation is different than we were.  A lot different.. and not all in a bad way, either. 

why doesn't Warren Buffet ever get blamed for the world's demise?

Humans seem to like simple explanations for bad things, individuals often as not are behind it.  It can be the Kochs or Bill Gates, or Warren, or Soros, ... or any politicians of the other party of course.  It's his or her fault.

I think rarely is anything really the fault of one group or person or thing, but it simplifies life by demonizing it.

I suppose it's akin to blaming the RB for that late fumble while ignoring whatever else happened.

Except it's not a myth.

We know he has pumped $2 Million into the Cook County State's Attorneys coffers for the 2020 election, and that was just for the primary. He's done this in virtually every major US city.

The funniest part of that article is that the other guy had his dad financing his operation

Boomers will be known as the generation of division.  They will be known as the generation of selfishness.

regarding who has it worse growing up... it's relative.   What do you consider worse?  My Dad lived without indoor plumbing for the first 10 years of his life.   My kids have to wear helmets to ride a bike and have to live with the idea that only bad parents let their kids ride bikes around town unsupervised.   Which is worse?

Your dad grew up when?

(I don't think anyone is saying kids these days have less in the way of material comforts. And if those were the be-all, end-all, society is in awesome shape)
