    LOL

    Plenty of those from the younger generations work their assess of, I guess they are still suckers.
    He’s talking about the ones you are slugs and want a check for little work of effort. If the job market wasn’t so tight they would be cut in a second. They’ve been suckered into believing that rich people have stolen what’s theirs. Sold lies by the anti-capitalists(who are all getting rich in their own rights).

    Extremely wealthy man bitches about people not wanting to work hard in underpaid menial labor jobs. Shocker. "The youths today are lazy" isn't a new critique.

    BTW, why isn't your tech guru son wanting to take over for the chimney guy? Is it because Americans with better options generally don't want manual labor jobs?

    As a younger person, I work relatively hard. I average more than 40 hours per week worked. Have had plenty of 60+ hour weeks and have even had some 100+ hour weeks. There are a lot of younger people in my field (law) who work their asses off. If you gave me the option to do only 40 hours a week in some manual labor job making decent money, the answer would be hell no. I imagine most of the others would say the same thing.

    This is why immigration is so vital. There are so many people around the world willing to work those hard manual labor jobs if it means living in America and their family having a shot at a better life. But let's run them off because some ignorant bigots don't want to be "replaced."

    Those Dems with Gender Studies degrees are working white collar jobs.

    He donated millions supporting Trump. Couldn't give less of a shit about his opinions on anything.

    You and soho would do yourselves well to do a little research and understand just how many early employees of Home Depot became quite wealthy with the very generous employee stock program put in place by Marcus and Arthur Blank. Once you both do that you will have to find other targets to spew your leftist drivel towards than Marcus. He is a great man who provided a great product and has helped millions of employees build themselves nice nest eggs with HD stock.

    Why would I care what he did for Home Depot employees decades ago? He's complaining about what's happening now. F him and any other person who spent millions to help Trump become and keep the presidency. You and Bernie Marcus can shove your right-wing drivel up your rear ends.

    It's amazing how you have to explain the obvious to the self-proclaimed genius

    I don’t consider History in the useless category. I’m interested to find out why you do to as to why you would make that statement?

    I see that you regard manual labor as low or no value add,

    He's talking about my generation for damn sure. After the damage people like him have done to this country, we'd all benefit from hearing from them less. But they don't have the self awareness to pipe down and live out their final years quietly.

    You can make the curriculum for gender studies and history a difference of 15 credits since both are liberal arts.. I bet you could do it with 12.
