Nah, boring as heck.  Something about money and old folks and college expenses, duh.

Never mind, I'm the problem here of course.

Edit, Oh and Mark Zuckerberg is the worst thing for the youth today that ever happened while becoming a zillionaire.

Who is this guy anyway?  Meander on with a ton of platitudes and no practical solution offered at all?  Yay.

Term limits?  Sure thing, simply not going to happen, why propose things that clearly won't happen?  That isn't a real solution to anything.

Don't you get it?

It's our fault for busting our asses while these entitled little shits make demands of us.

Folks send me Ted Talks fairly often, and SOME few of them I find notable and interesting.  Most that I've watched are boring, platitudinous, and lack realistic solutions.

But the audience claps.  Yay.

Pre-ordered Lindy's 2024 College Football preview. Something I've done since 1999. 25 years now. I can't think of anything else I've determinedly done every year for this many years.

I attended the Husker Spring game for more than 35 years straight, starting in 1982
I've skipped a couple recently

It's not meant to entertain you.  I don't give a shit if you find it boring.  That's just a lazy way to ignore the content.
Do better.

No, dipshit, a big part of it is that old people busted their asses and it actually was worth it. 
Now you can bust your ass and have nothing to show for it.

But just ignore it.  Just avoid the facts.  You are noble, the young and poor are lazy.

Honestly, I watched and found it entertaining. But ultimately I didn't find that it found concrete policy ideas to fix anything. The few thrown out at the end were mostly political non-starters. Including means-testing Social Security, which I am in favor of but will never happen. 

It seemed more along the lines of Don Quixote tilting against windmills than anything meaningful.

The overall idea is the thing.  Certain policies or actions aren't feasible, until they are.  You have to get the masses to understand the idea for anything to actually eventually change.

Dipshit?

The young people who work for me are making a lot of money, and not really busting their asses. They are engineers, of course. They contribute to the 401K and get matched. Something to show for it.

My two boys are making bank, and they do bust their asses at times. They own houses, cars, boats. They have nice bank accounts. Something to show for it.

You can make something of yourself if you get a useful degree or acquire a vocational skill. Those who do not are lazy, stupid, or both. Those are the facts.

Dipshits avoid the facts.

Maybe you could summarize the content and the most seminal important thing he stated.

If a thing is boring, I lose interest, fast.  And of course had I watched the whole thing earnestly, I could do zip about it.

I finished watching the three parter "Abraham Lincoln" on Amazon last night, I thought it was excellent, I learned some stuff about his childhood.  (Warning, the have brief interviews with Obama in it, so if you dislike Obama, maybe avoid it...)

I find baseball interesting, many don't, and the NBA bores me.  Guess which I watch?  Is this a novel concept?

My kids are doing quite well, interestingly.  One make more money than I ever did.  The other is doing a good job managing on a lesser salary.  The first one majored in English and French, not really majors you'd think would lead to prosperity, but it has.  

The small bits of that I did watch went on about problems I think everyone knows about, with no real solutions that are practicable.
