There's definitely a generational gap and it's ruining our country. Here's why!

[awesometjgreen]

So I'm writing this mytake not just because I want to see your opinions, but because I'm staying up late Tonight to study for my math exam and you guys and gals notifications will keep me up (please wish me luck also). Now let's get to business

So today while getting a ride to work me and my mom got into an argument about the courts ruling today on male only draft

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/02/25/politics/male-only-draft-unconstitutional/index.html

Me Being a far left kinda guy was kinda happy with the ruling (obviously it has a long way to go), I say kinda because I think we shouldn't have a draft but whatever. So my mom was mad at me and starting talking about she doesn't know what kind of man I am and that I sound like quote, "an old wife beater" for thinking women should be forced to go to the draft if men are 😑. She started yelling about how I have sisters and nieces and I should be ashamed of myself but I think she forgets that she has sons, grandsons, and nephews 😑

Right I'm forced to fight in war because I was born with a penis 😑

She went further and started saying that women can't serve because they can't fight like a man......😑

Right women can't fight like a man but these women can break my damn spine 😑

Ignoring the obvious gender issue I think this is just a small part of a bigger issue, the generational gap

She's older and thinks that I'm quote, "against my country" because I point out the obvious problems our generation is up against and she thinks that ocasio cortez and other justice democrats are, "stupid" and "against our County".

Clearly the older generation is partly responsible for our country being stuck in the past. They think the status quo is great when wages have been stagnant since the 80s. Let me put this into perspective for all the right wing dumbasses who will plague the comment section, I AM NOT A LAZY MILLENIAL WANTING A HANDOUT. I HAVE TWO JOBS AND I'M A FULL TIME STUDENT. LET ME REPEAT THIS!

I-HAVE-TWO-JOBS!!!!!!! And I find it highly absurd that I can work my ass off and still be poor while millionares like jeff bezos get to wipe their ass with dollar bills

No

And obviously they don't understand that it's just gonna keep getting worse if something doesn't change soon

So what do you all think? Is the generational gap holding us back? What are your thoughts on the whole draft thing? Am I a lazy millennial? Sound of below

Thanks for reading 😉👍

Gee wee, I wonder where our money goes 😑

Oh yeah.....😑

That last graphic (and probably the one with the rocket) are misleading, "discretionary" spending excludes major areas of health and welfare.

"Healthcare such as Medicare and Medicaid ($1,077B or 27% of spending), Social Security ($939B or 24%), non-defense discretionary spending used to run federal Departments and Agencies ($610B or 15%), Defense Department ($590B or 15%), and interest ($263B or 7%)"

Thanks fam so true, that's why you don't trust google. Either way it's still an issue

[Whatthefluff]

Thank you very much for sharing. I don’t think there’s been more rapid societal change amidst generations before.
And good luck on your math test. Sleep is just as important as studying, so go to sleep!

The people causing the problems you hate in the world are the very people who want you to vote in Socialism.. You are drinking their cool aid.

Wages suck because of Fractional reserve banking and globalism.

Other western countries can afford some socialist policies because the U. S. A. spends their money policing the world..

And AOC is 100% idiot.

[Izumiblu]

first Jeff Bezos didn’t steal your money. People exchange money with him voluntarily because he offers something better than the alternatives. If you’re working two jobs and going to school then maybe that’s the result of less than optimal choices you or your parents have made and not the fault of society. Lastly , your chart on military vs healthcare education spending is grossly errant.

[awesometjgreen]

Less than optimal choices? I do the same shit everyone else does. Graduate highschool, get a job and go to college. The issue is that people are still being paid like it's the 80s when the cost of living has skyrocketed

[Izumiblu]

Huh, that’s strange. I don't know. I worked my ass off in high school. Got a scholarship went to college in engineering and have never wanted for healthcare or a livable wage. I never needed to get two jobs while going to school though I usually had one which was part of my scholarship requirements. Must just be bad luck on your part. But, ya know, it seems kind of contradictory that it’s just misfortune for you but you seem to expect the people before you to have had complete control over their outcomes. What a conundrum...

[BeHappy1985]

The thing is that you need to work smart not hard, you fucking dumbass. I was making $770 a week from my day job and $600-1000 from my night job when I was 20. Few years later I dropped out of college and started my own business. You'll always be a fucking looser. Take care.

[BeHappy1985]

Also I really hope that you get drafted alongside some 5 foot tall girl, that both of you get into combat, you get shot in your spine which will make your legs stop working, and she is too small to carry you out to safety and the both of you die. <3

[SkipStop]

You really don't know what you're writing about. And if you're a man, you shouldn"t be on the left. Because the left is misandristic.

[bamesjond0069]

Wow the two jobs thing is precisely why you're a broke ass libtard. I never had two jobs and im very successful. If you understand how money works you will quickly realize you aren't doing shit by having two jobs.

Its not generational at all. Young people are stupid basically and only when you get life experience you realize everything you think is wrong. Only people who suck at life or are directly benefiting from liberal policy are liberals.

[awesometjgreen]

Life experience? You sound like a typical duochebag Republican born with a sliver spoon in his mouth.

[bamesjond0069]

I may be a typical douchebag Republican but I certainly was not born with a silver spoon. If I was born with a silver spoon I would surely be a liberal.

[awesometjgreen]

What? How does that make any sense? Look bro all I'm saying is that I'm doing the best I can and I'm sick and tired of people blaming poverty on the poor. Would you rather me quit my jobs and live off of welfare? Exactly

[bamesjond0069]

Poverty is poor peoples fault. Until you can take responsibility for your own situation, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, you will always have a poor persons mindset and make poor choices that lead you to continue a life of poverty.

I always say if you build a business and a meteor falls on you and blows it up and insurance doesn't cover it and you go out of business... its your fault. LOL. Blaming other people gets you nowhere. You have to live life like everyone will dick you over and fall through and nobody will ever help you at all. That is how you succeed.

Without knowing much about you, I would suggest networking with people and getting ONE good job that pays more and that gives good experiences to get an even better job in the future.

[abortedFetus]

"Women can't fight like me.." Shows picture of trans women wrestlers to prove point. I stopped reading there. I would've stopped sooner, but I wanted to give you a chance.

[Anonymous]

Most women who are drafted will be In supporting roles. Men will still be expected to do the heavy fighting.

[zagor]

Really? The 1% has been stealing YOUR money? How do you figure that?

[Rissyanne]

You sound like a typical self entitled millennial

[Kravmaga_-]

Next generation becomes lazier than ever.

[Secretgardenblood]

Good take...
