Whats wrong with everybody. He exists so he gets whatever he wants.
I think Millennials believe this is a law.

I can see why the young people are embracing Socialism.

California has had issues with Rolling Brown outs at peak times.As population has grown capacity has not.Build some coal fired power plants.Use what we have until there are real alternatives.

I saw Nancy Pelosi speaking on energy."We need more sources of renewable energy like natural gas".

If California has a congress woman that misinformed; the state is in trouble.


As much as people would like.You can not even come close to generating enough power needed with solar and wind.

Just noting the other side of this - in my area, a lot of the young people are embracing socialism because of declining wages and opportunity here. Also, debt (college loans). They are seeing the right problems, just not necessarily the right solutions.

I understand this but they have this sense of entitlement.

I live in a State that has very independent people.Even young people here look at this attitude in disbelief.

Lowest unemployment rate in 60 years.Move if you have to.

You old people just worked a minimum wage job and it paid for College.

Not true.Slept four hours a day and worked two part time jobs while going to School.Drove tractor trailer in summer.

After graduation I worked very hard to find a good job.I was willing to go anywhere.When I found a job I continued to work a second job to retire debt.



Retired my Schools loans by age 32.Then I bought a house not before.


My Daughters had the same work ethic and paid off School loans by their mid 30s.

I think their embrace of the Nanny State Socialism will change when they reach their high earning years.

Once they are making good money; may not like paying 90% taxes to support Socialist government.

I retired as a senior control room operator. I had direct contact with the grid operator. I had dealings with them, gas supply, the Fed's and anyone else. The things the general public doesn't know. :icon14:

So true.

Also by the way if others did not catch it.

Natural Gas is not renewable.

Wait what? I thought that intersectionalist victim culture and tofu would replenish our natural renewable resources and make all those evil conservatives die off.. I mean, generationally displace.

Again you aren't wrong, but the average debt post-college has increased from 10k in the 1990s to 30k as of 2016, and that's the average. Wages also haven't increased, except for a select slice of the population.

Take me, for example. I worked in my family business doing construction with my dad and 2 of my brothers. Someone once commented they knew we weren't union because we ran to get tools ;) Anyway, housing market crashes. I'm waiting for it to get better, not aware of the true implications; my savings are eaten up (and I didn't have a ton before that) so moving wasn't an option without a guaranteed job, because I barely had money for rent (we rented a house, 4 of us, $1150/month, split it 4 ways. No cable, utilities not included). I bought knorr packaged noodle knock-offs for dinner because they had the most calories I could find for the cost, peanut butter sandwiches on whole wheat for lunch, drove a 25 year old car.

My point is you can do all the right things, have a great work ethic, a real sense of independence (I didn't once suckle from the government teat), and still get screwed ridiculously.

Today I am incredibly blessed with a great job, work for a great company, and my frugality paid off, but out of all of my friends I'm the only one who really broke through - and some of these people are bright, capable, and extremely under employed given their skill set. That's the real threat today - underemployment, not unemployment.

I would move to where the jobs are.

I lined up a job long distance.Lived in Rat infested apartment to start.Police hauling people out every night.

Get yourself established where ever you have to go for a job.

As the years go buy you can try to get a good job where you would like to live.

I do not see the same level of self sacrifice you made with most younger people.

According to California, it is. Why are they trying to put methane bags on cows to catch it. :rofl2: Who ever thought that one up needs to have a bag attached to them with their head in the bag.

Pulled over for 70 in a 55 on my way to ATL from ZDayZ last year. Got a warning then, too. But I think I was already out of NC and into GA at that point.
