    The gentleman in this short video makes observations that are eerily true in the present day.

    Nothing will change, as it hasn't since 1968, until the commies are rooted out with extreme prejudice and sent off to worry another country with their tripe . I kinda like the idea of filling Venezuela with "no longer American communist"!

    Saw a piece the other day that talked about "Gen E"

    Not X or Y or even Millennial. Gen E - for Entitlement. Think the world owes them everything for little or any 'work'.
    No work ethic (that has largely disappeared over the last few years)
    No real sense of value ($ or things)

    Going to be an interesting 'retirement' for us OFs.

    Yeah, and social security is getting the congressional once over. It isn't going broke next year, but the demographics are trending the trust fund down.

    Add to that the fact that beginning some time during the Vietnam years, Soc Sec funds were raided by the Johnson Administration. I'm sure it's happened since with others as well. When Social Security was implemented, there was never a stipulation or law that said that the funds set aside for Americans' retirement couldn't be used for the General Fund.

    I was thinking about SS today. I read it has about ten years. They keep talking about getting rid of it since its going broke. I would be happy with getting what I put in it.
