    Mate, a smaller percentage of our generation has houses. Wrap ya head around that. No one’s arguing every other generation had a house, that would be idiotic.

            And these kids need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and start a small business if they don’t want to be poor, am I right?

              Funny how it never occurs to the folks who espouse the virtues of socialism and communism that they should apply those same ideals to their own life. Acting collectively was the way my friends and I were able to move away from home.

                Good thing everyone has friends like you do, am I right?

                Good thing everyone has friends!

                There’s sure no epidemic of loneliness or anyth- https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/surgeon-general-social-connection-advisory.pdf

                Oh.

                Well those lonely people should just find friends and then those friends will collectively move with them right after they all pull themselves up by their bootstraps and start a small business!

                  I can’t imagine why you don’t have a ton of friends

                    You have no idea how many friends I have. Considering I moved to the UK three weeks ago from the US without any friends being necessary, maybe your comment doesn’t apply to me at all.

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.
