“just keep that mindset in your memory when a good friend or family member loses a job or suffers a hardship in the next few years.”
You do realize that job losses and hardships occur in good times as well as bad, don’t you? This country actually needs to go through a shedding of this excess and bloat, else it won’t even exist in two generations.
So my “cavalier” attitude and “shortsightedness” are actually not poor character traits, rather they are reality-driven and exist to protect the ability of my children to have a good life.
Look around you…do you see people of substance doing good things on a regular basis? Or has this become a me-me-me society with nearly everyone trying to get “theirs” at the expense of everyone else (character be damned)? I see a country filled with selfish, greedy, over-entitled losers who need a check-up from the neck-up. Anyone who takes exception to this probably fits the description.
