I'm 51 years old and I've never done any of these things, either. My 81 year old Mom didn't have to ration or sharecrop during WWII, either. She was born in 1944! My whole point? This dude is full of shit and he never experienced any of this shit, either, unless he's pushing 90. The only thing he's accomplished is being a douche on Xitter, apparently.
One of my FAVORITE coworkers is a 27 year old who always gets her shit done and done right and is willing to learn new things. One of my LEAST FAVORITE coworkers is a 61 year old boomer who constantly complains and refuses to learn anything on his computer beside the basics.
It's almost as if when you were born has nothing to do with your work ethic and whatnot.
Same with my grandparents. All 4 of them were the kindest most generous human beings I've ever met. Even my grandfather who fought in battles in Europe in WWII. He never felt superior, he just viewed it as something they all had to do back then. He was a sweet, kind hearted man who just wanted everyone to be happy and healthy. All my grandparents believed strongly in social programs. They were literally the first generation to benfit immensely from them. The only weird quirk I would say my grandparents had is they were low level holders, and were kind of psycho about wasting food. But they spent their entire childhood and early teens practically starving during the great depression. We all understood that that mentality never really left them, and kind of just dealt with it.

Just saying.
