Emotional Bankruptcy




Nearly daily I find a story somewhere about how smart today’s kids are.  They are touted as geniuses, and the direction of the world in which we live is placed squarely upon their shoulders.



So it was with interest that I read a newspaper article regarding twenty-somethings, who just entered the workforce, having an ardent desire to change things in our workplaces.



These young pukes with no institutional knowledge or subject matter expertise feel that, after only a few months on the job, they believe they could easily replace their bosses.



It seems as though this brain trust just wants to get things done.  Forget legal and ethical hurdles, we just need to do it and move on to the next crisis.



This is evident in their goofy stance on the First Amendment and Second Amendment, and which ever Amendment that represents abortion.  JUST DO IT!



Keep in mind this is the same generation that has been unable to personally communicate with one another, in public, because they are too involved with their tech toys.



Green energy?  Just force people to use it.  Better gas mileage?  Simply make cars of papier maché.  Can’t afford health insurance?  Compel your neighbor to pay for yours.  All very simple solutions from equally simple minds.



Most of these sheltered losers feel they are superior to the rest of America because they “paid their dues” by going to school and graduating.



Unfortunately, throughout their beginning formative years, they have been mollycoddled by sympathetic teachers and parents, alike, for the sake of protecting their tiny feelings and overly-sensitive egos.



When they disapprove of a countering viewpoint or contrary idea they protest until their desires are met.  If they dislike election results these whiners walk out of school to make their feelings known, in hopes of changing the results.



In other words, they merely want to be protected throughout life because of lessons they learned early in life.



Pandering politicians gave them “free” breakfasts, “free” lunches, “free” afterschool activities.  They played sports with taxpayers footing the bill for uniforms and travel expenses.  Some kids wanted to be in the band and you and I paid for that trombone they used.



Now they want a free college education and more protection from what they deem “hate speech.”



To help these snowflakes better adjust – the ones whose tans came from the basement light – are being assisted by none other than Penn State.



The university’s offices of Student Affairs and Risk Management (no lie, they really have enough money for this joke of an office,) “made a determination that hiking, camping and other outdoors-focused activities the student-led club has long engaged in are too risky.



Yes.  This 98-year old Penn State Outing Club made that announcement in an effort to protect their overly-vulnerable student body.



I would hope Penn State’s coffee shops have temperature cops on duty to ensure their products are not excessively hot.



Lastly, America’s high schools are quietly eliminating analog clocks from classrooms and hallways.



Analog clocks are those with a round dial with a large minute hand, a smaller hour hand, and often a thin second hand.  Remember those?



The time is 3:07, kids.
It was discovered that these mini-geniuses are too stupid to tell time without a digital clock with actual numerals such as 3:07.



Some think this if fine because their cell phones all have digital clocks so no harm, no foul.



Think about this story the next time teachers go on strike because they need more money.  Judging by these results, perhaps they’re overpaid.



And just wait until these Einstein’s end up in the workforce.  They won’t be able to function without special protection in the form of a helmet, and a blankie to go with those milk and cookie snacks.



We have succeeded in making a mess of America.
