I have four grandchildren, and I can assure you that all four of them can answer every one of those questions. I truly hope that the majority of young people in this country can do the same.

But these young adults can tell you why becoming a socialist society is the best thing ever. Free shít and no responsibility over ones life is the easy button for them to push.

My children and I discuss history all the time. We discuss how the Founders understood the mistakes of the Romans as well as what was happening in France etc. we discuss history unvarnished and truthfully.

I just made a cash purchase of $13.61 To a cute 17ish cashier. She counted the bills out right but two quarters, two nickels, and a penny absolutely stumped her.She gave one of the nickels back, and I handed it back to her for a second time " Here, you'll need this when they count out your till tonight..."

…and she’s one of those “essential workers” during the scamdemic that’s worth a minimum of $15/hr. 😂

Amish children go to school till the age of fourteen and they know how to count change. Their teachers are older Amish. The community is involved in their raising.

Electronics do all their " thinking" for them.
No need to learn or retain knowledge.
It is a plague and a symptom of the dumbing down of alot of people.

But they can tell you about what is trending in " music" and they have "awesome" social media and gaming skills.
Their self value is measured in the electronic world with hits, likes, and group acceptance.
From people they will never meet.
Feelings are very important to them because they have little actual real world social skills or interactions.


Not all...
But alot...
Especially in major urban area populations.

The one they had to let go couldn't figure out how to get cash to register on the card reader.

I had one who called me up to help because she was supposed to enter the last four digits on the gift card to validate it. She said "there are only three last digits, what do I do?"

Yes, the digits on the card were divided up into groups of three.

But there were STILL FOUR DIGITS AT THE END.

So what are the last four digits. "Huh?"

There are still four, in a row, that finish the string. "Huh?"

Sigh...gimme the damn thing.

I do not miss retail. At all. And the workers were the best part of it. The abusive (and even dumber) customers made it hell.

How about the black kid at the end of video. He didn't know anything about presidents but said he 'want's to better humanity'.
