I think my parents were quite committed to making sure none of their kids had to have calloused hands, ever had to 'dig ditches', do hard physical work. (They had to do hard work growing up) . But I don't think they thought about the ramifications of this kind of thinking, how it can create a we-them sort of mentality, and how it robs people of a certain kind of maturity, physical confidence. I only gained that confidence after I chose to take on jobs that involved physical labor, sweat. Life lesson (Sports were supposed to suffice, but that didn't really work imo.)

This is an astounding article. It puts things very much into perspective. --- We live with a bunch of nuts! ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‹ Sadly, people made these nuts, and undoing what they have done is going to be a huge task that I don't think can be fixed readily. Those of us that do, and have, worked a real job for a living are going to be royally screwed.

Even President Trump kicked out Don Jr, when he wanted time off after buisness school to go play, he had go to real work. Lived in his car ate from the gas station. Forgot to cancel his gas card.

I didn't repeat my parents mistakes. I had boys, they learned to wash dishes, mow lawns, toss real newspapers in a small town. It took with the oldest, the youngest follows his nutty wife's dictates, spendaholics.

This may help. Dangerous times.

This is HUGE NEWS. If you have friends or family members who are White Males with GOOD JOBS, it would be a kindness if youโ€™d pass this post along to them. Tell them the killer asteroid is coming. Here is a link.

Naturally, it would be good to share this as widely as you dare on Social Media. I am still banned on Twitter and Facebook, though Elon Musk has a copy of Reality Prism and a note, so I expect to eventually be allowed back.
