Participant[quote=deadzone]I’ve observed many older, retired folks falling into the extreme political propaganda stuff. We all know the Fox news stereotype. But I’ve seen the same thing with my own parents on the liberal side. I think it is a combination of early onset dementia and just not having any real world problems (ie job, family, etc) to deal with.
I sure hope when I am retired I have enough hobbies to keep my mind away from politics.[/quote]
Maybe old people just watch too much news. My super liberal mom worries the world’s going to hell too. I beg her to stop watching CNN for hours. She refuses.
As for me, my wife says I’m starting to sound more conservative the last few. YearsOf course, she’s practically a pinko commie.

Better to be kind. I’m in the middle of assertiveness training related to personal issues and lost my way.

California powered U.S. job growth last month, accounting for 38% of the country’s new jobs. However, one professor tells The Los Angeles Times that the hiring spree seen in the state is from a “lockdown harder and longer than in many parts of the country.” And the comeback has a long way to go: California still has to fill more than half of the jobs lost during the pandemic, and its unemployment rate has stalled at 8.3%. Economists are optimistic the rebound will strengthen after the state’s full reopening, slated for June 15.
Worst should be over…unless we have a proliferation of anti-vaxxer idiots that want to politicize getting a vaccine in as much wearing a mask.

.Utah is NEVER gonna release a repeat offenor from jail? 3 shopliftings and you get life? deadzone will buy a house before you see you’re full of crap! basically, the republicans of utah will talk a good game of “personal responsibility” and instead of actually taking responsibility for its people,

My wife and I travel all over. People always warned us to watch our for NYC, Rome and Naples but you know what? Not a single problem in those cities and we are out late at night often.Know where we have had problems? Utah! Not once but on two separate trips we’ve had our cc number stolen while there. I tend to think Utahans may not be that bright so scammers can run scams there a long, long time before getting caught. Had to have our cc canceled and new ones sent during the trips. What a pain in the butt.

hunker down in utah old man. keep on believing you’re getting “smarter”. i think old people get crankier and dumber because of aches and pain, general inflammation, and decreased blood flow, and fear, fear based on weakness…a sense that the world is slipping away, out of control, and the only way to ensure predictable safety is to bring the hammer down hard on everyone who presents any risk whatsoever.[/quote]I think that’s part of it and part of it is that old folks get tired of seeing the world make the same stupid mistakes. We all have a different idea on what those mistakes are, but whatever their viewpoint it gets old seeing very little being learned from prior generations.

ParticipantLike the world would be better if it listened to me, or econprof? Lol. Essentially, we are all in agreement…destroy and consume the earth. Our only quibble is how fast to consume it and how to divide the carcass…

look at the bright side, scaredy. The sun isn’t going to last forever anyway. And when its gone, what we did to Mother Earth will not matter one iota.

Sure. If I get real hungry, I can just eat my grandkids. No worries.

Classic scaredyclassic right there. The succinctness with which you can make your arguments (even big ones) is a wonder to behold.

Yeah, definitely not as interesting as it used to be. Scaredy always has something fascinating to say, though.

I didn’t mean real estate is less interesting now. I meant this forum is less interesting now.
I do read some of the real estate stuff; I like to keep up to date in case an opportunity that I can’t resist presents itself. And it is certainly an interesting time in real estate. But, overall, this forum is still less interesting than it used to be. The non-real-estate conversations on a variety of subjects with intelligent, interesting people were lively and stimulating, and as those have waned, so has the fun of this forum.
I mainly show up to see what scaredy is saying. He’s a very rare talent, and we’re lucky he posts his wildly original, frequently fascinating, usually funny, sometimes thought-provoking thoughts on this forum.
