This is a somewhat serious question. I have my theories, but what are yours? We have guys trying to be girls, but still like girls... The sight of a firearm, "triggers" people... We have the "Trigger" word being used, and it was a part of a gun when I was a kid. The country is worried more about "Feelings", than actions or accomplishments.
Notice, this isn't about politics and immigration? We have some other problems I think. I'm 41. I grew up in a house where it was stated, "You come home with an earing, you'll walk out wearing a dress". I was taught that sometimes you may bleed at work, but the job needs to get done. When I was young, I remember my Dad near crawling through the door, back jacked up. He'd go to bed, to wake up at 3:30am and do it again. Now some people look at blue collar workers as a lower class, and don't give them any respect. Those same people are also the ones that complain about the costs of repairs on their homes. Pick up a damn hammer, and swing it for a few hours!
My brother is a "Computer information something something", and he is one of them. He still owes a ton on his house, but owns some nice bottles of wine I'm told. I buy my beverages a 12pack at a time, but own a couple properties outright. Sure, there are cold damp mornings my body hurts. On those, I often wonder if I'd have been better off with, "schoolin' and a degree". By the end of my first cup of coffee, I come to my senses. I wouldn't be here. My blood, sweat and tears came from much more than paper cuts and hot sauce.
