I had to bail early when they started to rail on Trump. Even with some adequate points it's not a direction I want to listen to. | |||

I agree with this. Lots of people I grew up with turned out to be woke liberals. And others like us have conservative values. "But, as luck would have it, he stood up. He caught that chunk of lead."

Geriatric Millenials  , is how I've seen us mid-80s born kids referred.Seems 81-96 birth years, but more commonly 87-91 are the 'core' years for Millenials. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

GenX here, with two Millennial children... I see both sides. But I totally agree with the Millennials on the H1-b visas and the (slow) deportation of illegals. The boomers didn't have to compete with cheap foreign labor in our country when they were trying to get started. I listened to the first 15 minutes. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Lol. Born in 1960, engineering degree 1982. Big tech was bringing in cheap foreign engineers (mostly from India) on visas back then. They were getting paid about half of what an American engineer got. A lot of them lived several to an apartment, and they thought life was much better than back home. As a result, there were fewer jobs for Americans, and salaries seriously stagnated after 3-5 years experience. Somewhere in that time period there were hundreds of thousands of engineers out of work during an economic downturn. And on tv there were several tech CEOs testifying to Congress that they need more foreign tech visas because there weren't enough American engineers! | |||

OK, so this problem has been going on for a long time... but it continues. Why don't we put an end to it? Well, it's because corporate interests, especially big tech, want it to continue and they can buy off congress critters. Lets put an end to it! But not just the H1-b visas. We have to get serious about the deportation of ALL illegals. Yes, there are people who say we need the labor for farming, roofing, yard work, etc. Americans won't do the work... blah, blah, blah. OK, so maybe we will have to pay more, or maybe even cut our own grass, but I don't care. Too bad! The overall costs to the citizen/taxpayer vastly outweighs any perceived benefit. Too bad! DEPORT THEM ALL! "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies.

100% agree! Though this year we can't find hired help to do anything, due I presume, to a lack of physical labor. We need the driveway replaced. We need a bunch of landscaping such as planting trees and putting in a retaining wall. The deck needs some structural work and some other repairs. I'm hearing the same from a lot of people around here. Also, many fewer worker pickup trucks in and out of town this year. Usually when the spring arrives the roads are jam packed with laborer trucks. | |||

Maybe some Americans need to go back to working for a living instead of collecting welfare from those of us who do work. In the Second Epistle to the Thessalonians 3:10, the authorship of which is traditionally assigned to Paul the Apostle (with Silvanus and Timothy), where it reads (in translation): 10 In fact, even when we were with you, we charged that anyone who was unwilling to work should not eat. 11 Now we have been told that some among you are living a life of idleness, not working but acting as busybodies. 12 We command and urge such people in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and earn their own living.

Yep. I've long held that they'll work when they get hungry enough. We just have to cut off the SNAP benefits and go back to blocks of government cheese and canned lima beans. If we must do more, go back to actual food stamps (to reintroduce a bit of shame into the equation) rather than simply giving them a debit card like everyone else...who works for their food. ________________________________________________________ It is long past time for a Convention of States. The Founding Fathers gave us this tool to fix an out of control government and we need to use it. | |||
