You can be as blunt as you would like to be. I take no offense to that.
My point is that you don’t have to compare circumstances. Variables are going to always, always exist that are not in your favor no matter the date or time.
Yet, what is constant is a higher success rate for those who work hard and make sacrifices to achieve a goal.
For those who have done so, some respect is due rather than the “I want what you earned delivered on a silver platter” mentality we see in many of the misguided we see today.
There are replacements and we teach outdoors skills.
I gave my teenage son some books about survival and building anything from nothing in the wild.
This is a re-emerging topic.
I used to eat, sleep and breathe that stuff when I was a kid. I found one of the best and most comprehensive sources of information was military field manuals.
One thing I’ll say about the Boomers - they’re not afraid to speak their mind. Contrast this w/Millennials, who are more careful about speaking frankly, while being very eager to say what’s socially acceptable or what might gain them clout.
That’s because we don’t give two s**ts what meillenials think about us. We (for the most part) are a generation that learned / understands that you have to work for what you want / have. Socially acceptable? LOL… I don’t care. Cancel me? Go ahead, I don’t care. Call me a Boomer… I wear it proudly. I understand responsibility and hard work. Maybe when this younger generation of 'gimme, gimme, gimme gets to be my age, they will see the error of their thinking. I almost spit coffee out of my nose with that one!
