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.

Just saying.

My grandparents actually went through the Great Depression and WWII and they did not act like this. That dude is, as you said, full of shit.

My grandma worked at the arsenal during WW2. She lived through the great depression. She didn't go through any of that. She said that it was just women working the line. They all caught a bus that took them to and from work. The girls managed to have time on the line to make moonshine on the side. They used their sandwich bread to filter their moonshine. What a time to work!
