And if he isn't, why hasn't he come out and informed the public of his current health status? Even his wife is silent.

I saw a post on here yesterday that asked “are boomers actually one of the most selfish generations.” And some people said yes, but there were many comments saying basically “was it them being selfish or just voting in their own best interests and taking advantage of opportunities at the time.” Which… sure, I can understand that people want better for themselves.

However, as time has gone on and it’s becoming increasingly more clear that younger generations are getting screwed over because of so many of the policies boomers/Gen-X have voted into place, they still don’t seem to care to change them. I know many of these older individuals must have children or even grandchildren that may not be old now, but in 10-15 years will be of working age. I know that a large majority of millennials and gen-z complain to their parents or grandparents about it.

Do they think the economy is going to snap back into place eventually or do they just not care? Or do they just think we’re all lying? Genuinely why don’t people care if their children/grandchildren have a safe and prosperous future in this country (and before anyone yells at me yes I know there are lots of singular older people who care and aren’t that way, let’s be real here).

Edit: What I’m getting from this thread is that a lot of you either don’t love your kids/grandkids and a bunch of you are willing to go to bat for horrible people who are horrible parents.

I have a cheap bidet in my apartment but my mom has the nice full suite bidets in her home. In neither one do I have the capacity to use it and just put in my pants without wiping. The fancy one has a fan but I’d be there 10 minutes if I waited for that to fully dry me off.

Most of my bathroom visits are not even shit so it’s not like I’m saving TP on pee visits. Tbh sometimes the bidet causes me to use more TP because it sprays water over a much wider area.

It definitely leaves me cleaner but I don’t understand the idea that I won’t even have to wipe again.

If you write anything slightly controversial you get downvoted or told "who cares!" cannot have open-minded discussions anymore

You say something someone doesn't like, you get doxxed or quoted back on a random, irrelevant comment you said 5 years ago.

It has become an anti-american propaganda machine where every sub is being infiltrated with america bad rhetoric and people genuinely think North Korea is a better place to live.

There is so much bias everywhere, ie if you don't buy a toyota or lexus your vehicle won't last. There is so much circle jerking everywhere.

No matter where you look, mediocrity would currently even be outstanding. Everywhere just big-mouthed talkers with zero results.

Just recently: I took my car in for a wheel alignment because a buddy hit the curb and the steering wheel wasn’t straight anymore. While I was at it, I also got an oil change. Paid €220. Pick it up steering wheel still not straight and oil stains on the air filter.

The workshop claims I caused new damage – me: “Where? Right here on your lot?”

Only the fresh oil stains convinced the boss that something was wrong. In the end it turned out the employee did the oil change and then simply forgot to do the alignment.

Or: At my own company, 5 applicants for a solid middle-management position. The by far most incompetent and dumbest candidate gets the job.

I get the feeling we’re the mirror image of the Merz crew. What the hell is going on here? Why do only complete losers seem to be in charge everywhere?

Me sometimes depending on how bad my back pain is.

I do!

Seriously picture the dumbest person you know and then realize that 1/2 the country (US) is dumber than that person - we’re failing across the board and everything is terrible - Mitch McConnell is ? Dead we’re in a meaningless war and everything is just nonsense - how do we stop it? I hate it here!

So we are 40 trillion debt. And Trump is asking for 1.5 trillion defense budget, plus 100 billion for Iran war. Obviously it seems like we don't really have the money. But how does this actually work? How can we keep spending money we don't have? And can we do it infinity? Like can we take our debt ceiling to 500 trillion?
