Yup. Society has conditioned people to be this way. We think because we exist we are owed luxuries. An example free college, food if we choose not to have a job. We are also conditioned that If we complain loud enough we get our way. When I was a kid people got don Imus canned, lebron and the phoenix suns owner, people getting their college loans cancelled.Strength has value, a weak man is worthless
Im good thanks but i appreciate advice from random people on the internetThe first step is admitting it

Just as much as we appreciate your comment patting yourself on the backIm good thanks but i appreciate advice from random people on the internet
at a work symposium a few years ago, around the time of certain events in minnesota, i was asked my feelings on the current state of race relations.Sad part is that everyone is entitled. Another good listen is Goggins !!
Taking souls
I like your approach. As a society we are moving towards blaming society, institutions, others for our failures or lack of success. At the end of the day it's the man in the mirror who determines our success. So say I feel some job didn't hire me because I'm a male with tattoos...oh well. Maybe my resume or interview skills weren't up to par. Maybe they didn't like a white tatted bearded guy. Not going to whine about it, rather focus on the next interview. People thinking someone hates them or is holding them back or society is out to get them all day isn't going to get them anywhereat a work symposium a few years ago, around the time of certain events in minnesota, i was asked my feelings on the current state of race relations.
i was brutally honest in my response... i said, i'm the worst person to ask.. i probably live better than 90% of white people in my city.. if someone doesnt like me for some surface reason, i'm
not losing sleep. i live good and my family lives good. so i can't relate to this question.
a 26 year vet in the tech game, starting at the initial stages of the tech boom.. do the math..
i mention this as i took the same approach as goggins(before there was a goggins).. i just put my head down.. read.. studied... rinse repeat.. no degrees.. no certifications..
just kept honing my craft as i progressed and prospered in my career. it's that hyper-focus that taught me to not care what someone else thinks.. which is why the snide comments
just get a like or non-response from me.
Like, for example, if someone is trying to tow the wrong vehicle………… good times

I don't know if it will fall it's well funded by the super rich and our tax dollars. Wish woke could go broke. ESPN had women's basketball on no way that makes money...just an example.When money is free, anything goes.
When money has a cost, only profitable things can survive.
Prediction: As interest rates rise, woke falls.
Good point. But Nike sure sells a lot of shoes to youth aiming at the "pro" dream. Loss leader is common strategy. Same could be said for bbing. Who knows for sure.I don't know if it will fall it's well funded by the super rich and our tax dollars. Wish woke could go broke.

What is dis and dei? I've heard truck drivers are in trouble we see automation taking their jobs. It's now self checkout in every store. Sad today the Dilbert cartoon got cancelled. Washington redskins, Cleveland Indians, maybe the chiefs are next? Yikes.Good point. But Nike sure sells a lot of shoes to youth aiming at the "pro" dream. Loss leader is common strategy.

Regardless, DIS just laid off 7k workers, Twitter has been gutted, and we're at the very beginning of the impact of higher rates. The D E I hires will be the first ones to go as earnings decline.
The next 18 months will be very interesting. Have cash!
