Along with less outdoor activity, the trades have a huge shortage of young people. Face it, this younger generation is nothing but lazy, self entitled and not self starting in anything. We’ll be wiping their asses for many years to come. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BFF works on cellphones! I have a couple of good young employees, they just need direction and structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockape Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I just have to say that as a Texan I'm disgusted by this talk of BBQ'in with anything but charcoal or wood. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re in trouble, the least of which is an interest in BF. Edited September 25, 2018 by Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL.......I use charcoal when I have time or when camping, and I use propane with disgust when I’m the cook/slave for my lazy family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's an over-generalization just like folks my age and younger say that all baby boomers are get off my lawn types who ruined the planet and we will be paying for their retirements for years to come with no benefit for us. I know a lot of POS people who are much older than myself...and I know a ton of POS people my age or younger. I think it's just easier for one generation to point to the next for all of "our" problems. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Time Lifter Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 You really should have an "other" in the profession/employment section. None apply to me. Not surprised that most are in their 50-60's though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would submit that if they're saying baby boomers ruined the planet they are profoundly uninformed. As far as your position on legacy costs is concerned, who is "their" that you allude to? Government employees, private-sector employees, all baby boomers? Edited September 25, 2018 by wiiawiwb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigantor Posted September 25, 2018 Admin Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Let's stop beating up on our youngest member please. Maybe this is the reason why we don't have more of them... They don't feel welcome. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my personal opinion but I have friends and folks I received my masters with who are staunch global warming supporters who think the generations before them ruined the planet with coal fired plants, nuclear testing, etc. Financially, look no further than traditional pension plans and social security. Plus...if everything was better in the good ole days, what did you guys do to screw it up? We just got here! Disclaimer again - not my personal opinion, but I've heard and read that all before.

Nobody else but the gardener is allowed. 35 minutes ago, NatFoot said: ..........if everything was better in the good ole days, what did you guys do to screw it up?...... 1) The same thing previous generations did; we had kids, and we spoiled them rotten. 2) We allowed an exponential number of the wretched teem onto our shores from abroad, then we spoiled them, too.
