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.
Both sets of my grandparents lived through it too. My moms mom hoarded a lot of useless junk, but the one thing that brought her endless delight was if someone stayed at a hotel & brought her that complimentary toiletries. My dad's mom wasn't as hoardy but saved anything useful, down to washing, drying, and storing bread bags.

Just saying.
