So what if I wanted a billion dollars and I worked as hard as I can, but I didn’t get it?

youre basing on personal experience. What if I did everything you did and didn’t make it? Then what
If you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.
I don't care about your college debt. You chose it. I didn't.
How many people 50 years ago had thousand dollar slabs of glass in their pockets?
How many had riding lawn mowers?
How many had air conditioning?
People are entitled p* who have no idea what the difference between "need" and "want" is.
Well.
My secret here at UPS has been not quitting.
It's a secret, but if you follow that method, you'll pretty much always be gainfully employed.

you don’t need a degree at ups, unless you go management. What if you were in a field that did require it? You’d be out of luck. I dont care about people back then. Comparing gens is stupid anyways.

Exactly. If you choose to get a degree in gender studies, I'm all for letting you starve to death. Your poor choices are not my problem.
I chose a pretty bulletproof path that required hard work and not much else.
No, but my magic 8 ball says as long as I show up to work, don't hit anyone, and don't steal stuff, I'll have a decent job as long as I want it.

The argument isn't that it gets you anything you could possibly want, it's that it gets you somewhere.
When I was younger I had these stupid dreams of owning a house with a multicar garage with a big powerboat and Porsche Cayman in them and a backyard I could land a Cessna on that I kept parked in my own hangar. Reality set in and priorities changed. Desires and goals shifted and adjusted over time.
I could've been a useless little bitch and just gave up and cried about how life wasn't fair. But instead I adapted to the current world and have come a lot farther than I would have otherwise, and can safely say than I am living comfortably without any believe that anyone owes me anything.

well this would be fine and dandy but the logic being applied here was that I didn’t work hard enough

This is what you said:
So what is that "something" then? Let's be realistic here.

you left out the back then part. Hard work back then could get you a decent house. I’m assuming you’re a millennial to, so our group is struggling to even pay rent with a job.

Like I said in a subsequent post, I adapted. I shifted priorities. These idiots can keep their $300k houses. I'll live out of a van before I shell that kind of money out for some McMansion or flipped bull
. But people like living on debt. If nobody paid this , the market would crash and prices would go way down.BeefiestMass
