Ahahhhh

62

Grade 9 was abacus and side ruler. I kid you not. I was born in 64 and it’s incredible how far we advanced things in one generation. I like to think I helped build this world. Lol

Calculators came out when I was in grade 10

I remember people hating on calculators, then computers, then the Internet. It’s going to destroy people’s ability to think on their own. Man were they wrong

I hope your enjoyed your trophy that everybody got

Lol. That’s funny. There was no entitlement when we were growing up. You fended for yourselves and everybody isn’t special.

Try some. You might be surprised. Next door neighbor’s kid is working as laborer and making over $60 an hour. Just got hired a few weeks ago. Trades are also considered labor work and they pay great.

Now that’s funny. Let me guess. You weren’t born yet to be around and see what they were doing. Millennials rode our coat trails and genz are emotional basket cases

Wow! That’s a funny take. Us Gen. X raised ourselves, raised our siblings. Learned how to control our emotions, learned how to cook, clean while children. And learned how to play without the internet.

Then we built the web and everything that goes along with it. Whether Gen x and boomers you would have none of this that you’re using a communicator right now. That phone your using was built by us. The databases that run this social app. Same. Pretty much everything you take for granted now that didn’t exist for us was built by us.

Calling us lazy is ridiculous as every Gen x I know worked multiple jobs including myself and my wife. The grind was real as times were extremely tough in the '90s within 12% inflation at times and double digit unemployment. Things that people now wouldn’t even be able to deal with. Gen Z is too concerned about their feeling and emotions to even be good workers today.

Tell me something gen Z has built.

All the laborers I know get rewarded really well.

Now that’s funny. Somebody younger than a Gen x are calling them lazy

It wasn’t because everybody worked and put in what was required to fix it.

Any company with old code was in danger. Every Bank everything had to work their asses off to get all these changes made and test it. Still some things failed but it could have been much much worse if people didn’t panic and put in the time to fix it

It would have been catastrophic if people didn’t put in the work leading up to it.

Which was an absolute shit ton of work.

But we saved the day

Y2K was a nightmare for us GenX. Months of overtime and late nights with lots of contractors coding 24/7. I hope I never have to go through that again.

And oral. Don’t forget sodomy is both

Get a skill that pays well. Only takes a few years.

Those 2 generations fight to get that. I remember cars being burned and flipped during strikes when I was young. This generation needs to do the same. Now when people go on strike everybody hates on them. Our grandparents put their lives on the line to get pensions, weekend, overtime pay etc etc. People now are letting it all slip away. Time to stop blaming the ones that got it and start blaming the ones letting it go.
