Yeah, Rice basically said he has no intention of being a slave to a work schedule after this Orleans dealing gig is over.

i'm not sure where it all went wrong for those in the younger generations. i mean every individual has the right to live however he/she chooses but when i previously worked in my office, i can't tell you how many times i heard millennials and gen z's complain about the same thing rice just said about being 'unable or unwilling to work a set schedule'. they demanded more days off or they would walk. well, guess how that ended. what happened to work ethic and when did that become reality to these folks? they are in for a long hard life if they think they're ever going to be able to enjoy golden years on zero savings and limited social security, if any

maybe not keeping score and giving out all those participation trophies really did have an adverse effect as many anticipated

Yeah I doubt rice played sports in school, I think the whole participation trophy thing is a meme / fake news

Im 57 and my dads generation accepted segregation, criminalization of homosexuality, etc - slow your roll how younger people arent as good as their predecessors.

i too am 57 and nowhere in my post did i mention anything even close to what you stated. you might wanna slow your roll about making assumptions

Yes but did they support Industrial Scale fetus murder (including using the still, live, cells for science experiments), mutilation of minors' sex organs for profit, sterilization of minors for profit, Governmental enforced population participation into Big Pharma for profit trials (and then the cover up of the failures of said for-profit trials), men using girl's locker rooms, men in female physical events, government (multiple) sponsored genocide of working class peoples (fentayl), fascism level cooperation between government, big tech, big pharma to propagandize youth on matters such as gender && race ?

Sorry to get back on track.

Social Security credits and the ability to set up a Roth IRA would be huge steps in the right direction.

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

your dads generation was born 80-100 years ago.'
there are a lot of predecessors b/w then and now for younger people including people who didn't accept these horrific things and got them changed.

I believe it was Plato living in the 4th century BC who made the earliest known suggestion that "the next generation is going to the dogs." I'm just glad streaming entertainment exists now, as the less people who rot their brains watching cable news the better. Yikes.

I remember some Boston area channel still syndicated [I]Gomer Pyle[/I], a black-and-white show about a lowly state-side U.S. Marine, far longer that you would expect, such that I saw a gem of an old episode where Gomer meets a bunch of hippies, and the lead hippy explains why he lives in a van in the woods and doesn't own a couch. Because if he owned a couch, he'd need somewhere to put it, which meant getting an apartment, which meant paying rent, which meant getting a job, so does he own the couch, or does the couch own him? I'm sure the episode ultimately taught whatever lesson the network and their corporate sponsors thought best.

Mind you, that episode originally aired ~55+ years ago, so it's interesting to see El D realize that such trade offs still exist. You want a steady job, you need a steady living situation, and you don't get to take spontaneous vacations. The horror of it all!

Of course, those dang hippies could have bought a house on two years salary back then for all their whining. Still, there is really nothing new under the sun. I was in San Jose California about a year ago, and the number of people just living in vans or campers was crazy. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Life finds a way.

Yeah, but he could only review documents for the state he's licensed in. So he would probably want to get licensed in NY. I suppose he could take the exam in December, and study between now and then.

Crap, now I have to go watch that video...

Someone should tell him that fulltime employees can get time off. Even further, if he becomes an actual "normie" with a place to live semi-permanently, his need for no-room weekends will disappear.

I think it's a twisted belief on why people have a job. These days they think the company is obligated to provide money and make it convenient for the employees. Just like mommy and daddy and never mind how they got their money every month. The reality is that companies are in business and everything they spend money on is expected to pay them a return in excess of the cost to them, including employees. Fundamental things that used to be taught in elementary school, or were figured out by people that actually think. Are kids not expected to think at all these days? I can understand that in many colleges now they are told what to think, but how did they even get through high school without thinking?

I watched Gomer Pyle in prime time. They didn't "teach lessons". They just made people laugh.

Thankfully no one commented on Jim Nabors being gay.

thanks for your well thought out post. but do you think things were any different for us when we were in our 20's/30's? entry level salaries at crappy jobs were just as challenging. but if we wanted anything, we worked for it. we put in overtime, had two jobs, worked 6-7 days/week at times. that was how we got by to pay our debts. my initial post was of course speaking in generalizations based on what i saw and heard myself and what rice said about not wanting to work a 'two or three day/week schedule' being eerily similar. but as i stated, to each his/her own. i wish you luck

I think the fentanyl thing is payback from China for the British Empire historically forcing the Chinese to accept opium in exchange for Chinese tea leaves.

I think Laughlin could be the answer to the no room weekends, where in Laughlin rooms on the weekends can be had about 1/2 price of Las Vegas. They have the CET Tropicana and Harrahs Laughlin there fairly affordable on a Saturday.

For basketball we'd have 8 team tournaments (approx 20 years ago now) and I remember for sure you'd get a ribbon award for 7th place in an 8 team tourney. (Can't remember 100% if 8th got one too but I think so).

I guess you can argue it's more for the memory than a prize but 1st place would get a similar ribbon and I thought it was strange at the time too I was like why are we getting this for going 1-3 or 1-4 and getting 7th place it's just embarrassing.

Globalization accelerated by NAFTA, basically the govt completely selling the country out to big corps who then sent their resources to China and elsewhere voted in by the public who didn't know any better.

Employers didn't get greedy all of a sudden, the little guy brainwashed by dumbed down public education designed to give them a corporate worker mindset kept voting for their own demise.

People been greedy since the beginning of time.

In the long run it'd likely be inevitable anyway but things should be a lot better in the USA than they are now with halfway competent management. (They are very competent in some ways though....)

My kids are 18 and 21 - they and their friends are great people and it annoys me to no end when people my age and older spew the “wHaTs wRoNg wiTh yOuNg pEoPle” line. They are as good as we were and yeah, they dont have to apologize to any generation before mine.

Why don’t you think your peers on other back of the pack teams were also capable of understanding they didn’t have as successful seasons as the first place team but still experienced more success than the version of themselves who never showed up at all.

How would participation trophies prevent Diesel from making the connection that showing up at a job every day and performing the required tasks results in a cash deposit in his bank account every Friday to fund his desired lifestyle.

How many coaches does Pman have these days?
