You failed with the info on the Ukraine conflict, Ukraine people are getting screwed over. since 2007 nato has done war games in the Black Sea of marines doing beach landings extremely close to the Russian border, nato a “defensive” alliance doing beach landings lol. Putin said he would invade if they tried to join nato and then we know what happened lol Zelensky is a joke and has betrayed his country, got rid of elections, jailed political opponents and journalist that wrote anything negative, and said there won’t be elections until war is over and he expects 10 years of war. The Ukrainian people literally want peace and yet Zelensky said no 3x and passed a law saying he won’t negotiate with Putin. Ukraine has bombed their own people from 2014 to 2022 in the Russia occupied areas then bombed civilian areas with no military presence, when there was military targets a few miles away they could have hit, this backfired tremendously for Uk raine. The Russian people want Putin to escalate the war due to belgorod and he is the one holding them back as he is sworn to defend Russian sovereignty even if that means nuclear war and he would have to if nato, a 32 nation alliance, invaded. Assuming this video is alreast 2 years old as we didn’t know about a lot of the screwed up stuff the Ukraine government was doing, like making fake 911 calls and “conscripting” the EMS personnel. Hope Zelensky gets ousted and the next person agrees to start negotiating. We have made Russia into a super power again, driven Iran, China, North Korea, Russia closer together, Saudi Arabia has dropped the US petrodollar, and estimates have upwards of 500k Ukrainian soldiers (conscripts/forced/volunteers who had good intentions ) dead/ Ukraine Red Cross is asking for donations to help with the 3,000,000 + wounded, all by not negotiating, due to the pride of the administration/politicians and that is not good for US interests. Biden has got to be the worst administration in the history of the US, Ukraine/israel/houthis/china/etc. just insane.

I am old enough to remember the “latchkey” comment: no, your generation was NOT the first to come home to empty houses, it was completely normal for working class kids since the industrial revolution. But it was the first time that the political/journalist class took notice of it, because women of THEIR class were now working outside the home. Yattering about “latchkey kids” was part of a conservative project during rising unemployment to blame school-leavers for being unemployed and to berate single mothers and working mothers for being employed.

There’s a reason why one of the top-selling t-shirts has just the words “Hold on, let me overthink this” on it. There are a lot of us. My mom used to tell me, and anyone else who would listen, that I’m never happy unless I’m worrying about something, which is another description of being a severe overthinker. The only thing she was wrong about was that overthinking/worrying doesn’t make me happy at all; it makes me miserable. I hate that I’m hard-wired this way. I can’t think of a time when I missed a big opportunity because of overthinking, but I vividly remember one time a few years ago when I tried to overcome it and just ‘go for it’ that spectacularly backfired. I was hanging out with my closest friends (we’ve been friends since HS and are in our mid-60s now), and one of them asked the group “do you ever have inappropriate thoughts?”. I figured this was a safe space, with my best pals, so I told a story to illustrate a particularly bad judgy thought I had one time (nothing evil, just judgy). And my bestest buds turned on me like I was some hideous monster. So much for just being honest and open. Lesson learned, and I immediately retreated into my overthinking bubble where I’ll live out my days. 😁

For the record, we didn't used to consider anyone GenX who was born after 1971. Those were already participation trophy, snacks, daycare and after school program, movies being rated differently kids so much so that they were vastly different and we had to teach them things like going outside and being tough enough to walk all day. They sat around playing video games. And, we called htem Gen Y because they asked "Why?" and they "whin"ed all the time, and we wondered why they existed and were such ... female genitalia. No one ever talks about this. They give them a pass and let them be Gen X. But, the cusp of Gen X was 1969-71 and then, yes, some fortunate bleed through happened that allowed some Gen Y to also be Gen Z. Because, why? Because, boomer parents didn't always trust those after school programs. And, they were used to computer, too, in a different way. That whole group of people blended into Millenials, is what happened because many Gen X had children young and those children were very Millenial before the Millenials started. Then, when Millienials had children young, they were Millenials, too. So, that made them a very long and tedious generation, more like generations used to be. Except they did it by stealing all of Gen Y and some of Gen Z's generational time. Millenials did more to harm the earth and the mental state of children than anyone else. Gen Z is the result of that. Boomers are like President Carter was. Just some dude hanging out, wondering why so many people before and after were so darned creepy and irresponsible and he's taking all the blame.

But for us it was the 1950's with 1980's music and 80's stuff! 3 mile walk to school dragging my 3 dickhead brothers with me and usually fighting with other kids and each other. Yes I can confirm we were feral kids running around the Irish countryside build rafts! and going into old abandoned workhouses. quarries! setting snares and old school poachers tricks if the opportunity a raised. To quote an old English Movie Scum! No room for "Dolly Mixtures" I later joined the British Army (Did Afghan 3 times) I am in my 40's now.

Until recently people didnt used to go on about the different generations. Yes there were names for different generations like baby boomers, generation X etc. But recently it seems everyone wants to emphasise the differences between generations. Apart the fact these generation types are really generalised and stereotyped. A lot of people never fitted into these stereotypes. Today its seems everyone has to be described and categorised. There have always been differences, and each generation has had different issues they have had to deal with. Im sure each generation looks down on the new emerging generation and criticise them. It would be better if people of different generations tried to communicate with each other, and understand and help each other.

I believe it's latch-key because we had a key to get house and or used the latch to keep the door locked until a parent got home. When I started highschool I was told by teachers and guidance councelors that I shouldn't expect to have a 40yr career at one company with a pension. Even with college. It was just part of growing up in a steel town where a lot of people went to work in the plant or surrounding industry.

To quote an old English Movie Scum! No room for "Dolly Mixtures" I later joined the British Army (Did Afghan 3 times) I am in my 40's now. I really don't give a fly "F" as I have been there done that and got the t-shirt. However my son thinks he knows it all bless him lol... I smile and let him get on with it!
Until recently people didnt used to go on about the different generations. Yes there were names for different generations like baby boomers, generation X etc. But recently it seems everyone wants to emphasise the differences between generations. Apart the fact these generation types are really generalised and stereotyped. A lot of people never fitted into these stereotypes. Today its seems everyone has to be described and categorised. There have always been differences, and each generation has had different issues they have had to deal with. Im sure each generation looks down on the new emerging generation and criticise them. It would be better if people of different generations tried to communicate with each other, and understand and help each other.
Dude... 911...
15,000 steps a day, I started the habit in the first lockdown, done it nearly everyday since, no phone allowed, field notes in the pocket for those shower thoughts 😄
I can just say we had heroin addicts and needle park.we had h.i.v aids epidemic we had the crack academic all at the same time.we had the escalation of serial killers John Wayne gasey the original killer clown, killer Florida cop killing teen girls,Atlanta child murderers abductions and kidnappings because being latch key kid's easy pray for sex offenders.before stranger danger. I myself and friends witness a suicide by hanging,found a woman's mutilated body and several drug murdered corpses before I was 15.reagan and Bush administration 1980s cut off food stamps in red States and have out a box of rations no matter how many kid's per family outlawed mom married couples to have the father in the home so we got I remember 1 jar of peanut butter, 1 box of saltine crackers 1 box of dry milk,I can of surprise meat it floated in red water and came in a aluminum can and a block of stale warehouse cheese. A month we survived by neighbor's and friend's can drives and backyard gardens I grew up on a vegetable farm we always had food.but we know how to survive beans & rice and 6 Times a week stew no meat and home made bread and butter and ice cream what you guys pay out the nose for today.1 tv 1 car from the early 15.reagan and Bush administration also cut off school lunch programs and first start Nixon administration did the same in the early 70s. If you were poor whites or colored in the 70s and 80s you grew up trained to survive any condition. I had to start from scratch in 2019 I was 49 fresh from tumor removal. I was living in a van I bought no joke on my death bed it didn't run it was parked in Wal-Mart parking lot. I washed in the men's room collected bottles and cans in Michigan $0.10 deposit per can.got a bus card to the library applied for work online checked back till I got a jib guess what Wal-Mart security guard fixed the fan took a year moved in a hotel George foreman grill coffee pot crockpot eating good manager specials wore my uniform everywhere like a cartoon till I bought some discount clothes from Wal-Mart Burlington and goodwill in 7 year's I got a van I use as a fridge in the winter hotel room cable unlimited heat and air conditioning toiletries I've never missed a co workers birthday or Xmas or Halloween or Sunday 1pm-6pm.football or Saturday college because the hotel has big 10 network.i don't need Netflix we generation x had the best movie's and tv and music and I can rent this new garbage from Hollywood today without spending a dime. Generation x survives
You should walk on LEFT SIDE of the road :D
We just retired and have added walks. They're good.
its... who knows, who cares, why bother.
Just FYI, the guy walking with a baseball bat is probably doing so to protect himself from unleashed dogs. I know a few people who always have a bat or big stick with them just in case they get attacked.
I like this idea.
Could be underage people.
one of the best videos of Joe ever.
I really like rucking, rucking for health is quicker and more impactful than 10000 steps, if you're spending 100 minutes walking in order to do 10000 steps every day, you can do wonders for your body just doing rucking with 12kg / 20 lbs load every day.
As a Xennial (born in 1978), I don't see a huge difference. Gen-X actually rode Harleys, and Millennials just got the Harley-Davidson window stickers for their used GMC Sierras.
Plan on disappointment, and you'll never be disappointed.
Gen-xer born 65 why do none of these videos discuss the energy crisis , the terror attacks with hijackings of planes , the Munich terror on the Olympic Games , we’ve watched as the boomers pushed their world view and we’ve always been asking why!?? Look at everything going on here at home but our leaders aren’t concerned with that were they nope, we are the f.a.f.o generation , I feel I’ve personally am living on borrowed time because I truly expected us to blow ourselves up in nuclear fire, nope apparently that’s gen-z’s accomplishment because of their political ignorance and I’m not going to be questioned buy someone who wasn’t even a gleam in there daddy’s eye about my generation.
I believe it's latch-key because we had a key to get house and or used the latch to keep the door locked until a parent got home. When I started highschool I was told by teachers and guidance councelors that I shouldn't expect to have a 40yr career at one company with a pension. Even with college. It was just part of growing up in a steel town where a lot of people went to work in the plant or surrounding industry.
Just saw this... man I so miss White Rock.. My wife and I used to drive around the park at least twice a week for around 20 years. Now that we are here in Phoenix, we both agreed that moving here was a mistake. We both miss the park a lot. . I have a lot a great pictures from around the park over the years..
When i was in 4th grade the 6th graders took over our football field. They stood there and talked to girls. We started running up behind them and kickimg them in the nuts and hauled a. After two weeks we got the football field back. Gen x solves problems.
Latch Key kids because we literally had a house key on a string around our neck. We walked ourself home from school blocks away to an empty house. I was 8...
I think the only big letdown for me is space. As a gen x kid we thought the whole space race would amount to something. Lots of sci-fi about space because we thought it might be the new frontier, it was exciting. We ended up with musk :/ meh
Joe where'd you go?
