Here is an article stating that 50% of millennials and 75% ! of Gen Z'ers have quit their jobs over "mental health" issues.
Thoughts....
- These are the millennials and gen z'ers who actually got jobs in the first place. Imagine the number of these youngsters who never even tried working at all. The statistic would be even more disturbing to sane people.
- Mental health issues.... One view is that these are not mental health issues, but rather these kids were never prepared to deal with real life by their parents or any other outside influence, mainly being the education system of K12 and University. Another view is that these little punks have figured out that they can go on disability for having 'mental health' issues.
Not long ago, Mad and I were neighbors with a lady who worked in a social services capacity and who testified to us that people were getting on SS disability for being "depressed".
"FM" - guess what that acronym means.
Sorry...I think this is all SO TROUBLING that I can't even click the link or respond properly. I had no idea. OMG. Are we finished as a nation with weaklings like what the Left has created?? N Koreans and Chinese and Russians, all countries which don't allow illegal drugs, don't put up with SQUAT, are licking their chops....
ReplyDeleteZ, yes, countries that have to deal with real life because they have no other option are licking their Lips over news like this.
DeleteNo way America survives. No way. Please last another 20 years or so America !
What are these losers going to do when they reach "the Golden Years," which entail real health crises (along with pesky aches and pains)?
ReplyDeleteAOW, these idiots will be purged by a health care system that pays no attention to non-democrat voters and especially non-tax payers. Those with serious health problems will be put on the back burner until they no longer require health care (die) just like in Canadia or England or any other single payer health care country because there is Never enough money. There is Never enough money.
DeletePlus the younger voters will cheer it on because they'll be taxed out the ass to pay for health care for anyone who doesn't look like Fabio or Arnold S. F the smokers. F the fat people. F anyone who can be fitted into a mold that can be tagged with 'unhealthy'.
My eldest boy came to live with me 3 years ago. He'd been raised by his mother and was on a cocktail of freakish drugs. They made him suicidal and very violent. I stopped that BS immediately and he straightened out, now he's in the Army and doing well (fingers crossed, keep it up kid).
ReplyDeletePoint being, stand up, be a man, and don't get into pharma dependency thing. The mental health thing's a racket, imo.
LSP,
DeleteUplifting story!
Yes, there is sobriety after drug/alcohol abuase.
AMEN! L&P. AMEN!And thank you for being such a good father.
DeleteTough Love is what these lost kids need most.
As theogian Oswald Chambers said, "Sympathy enervates."
Real Love demands courage, steadfastness, self-discipline and neverending perseverance.
LSP, Good to hear of a Plus One to our society and I read he is already a squad leader after just weeks in the Army.
DeleteThere is no better example of social-Darwinism than America's newest generation of losers.
ReplyDeleteMustang,
DeleteSpot on.
Mustang, Yes. Did you happen to read 51% of people 35 and under believe the planet will be uninhabitable in 11 years? Yep. It's like being on the planet of the apes.
Deleted his men, the people on he Mayflower, the founders of the Lost Colony at Roanoke Island, the settlers of Jamestown, the Pilgrims of 1620 who landed on P;ymouth Rock in mid-winter, and all the pioneers who carved out trails through virgin wilderness in Conestoga Wagons,,lived in Sod Huts they had to dig out of the tough virgin grass on the windswept Prairies scratching out a living fom the soil, and those who went on to open up The West.
ReplyDeleteI also think of my own grandparents who came over in the Great Migration in the late-1800's with hardly a nickel in their pockets just to get a CHANCE at a better life. I KNOW what THEy went through, and can't imagne how they did what they did.
The other side of my family came over in 1630 soon after the Mayflower, and tney REALLY had it tough, believe me.
The point is that not ONE of those incredibly brave and daring individuals had "Mental Health Issues.” They just DID what they KNEW they HAD to do in order to SURVIVE. A LOT of them became ill, suffered terribly and DIED, but in the main they PERSEVERED and in the long run they were VICTORIOUS.
It wasn’t until a few jackass "intellectuals" like Hegel, Marx and Freud started putting "notions" into our heads that people became "neurasthenic," "neurotic," "psychotic," "dysfunctional," drug-addicgted," "sexually promiscuous,” “increasngly weak, "dependent,"and "criminally insane."
We started to unravel soon after these bastard Demon Intellectuals began their anti-Christian, anti-American, anti-prosperity campaign to persuade us that there was a BETTER. FASTER, EASIER way to live by DENYING the NEED to accept PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY at the same time BLAMING OTHERS (our parents and "society") for our stupid decisions and wrongdoing..
WE HAVE DONE THIS TO OURSELVES BY WANTING TO BELIEVE THERE IS AN EASIER, CHEAPER, "BETTER" WAY TO LIVE THAN BY OBEYING GOD'S LAW. IN OTHER WORDS WE'VE LET OURSELVES BE SEDUCED BY THE DEVIL
Franco, I think the truly evil stupid is far from the majority but I think it won't be long before it is. Couple decades maybe. Unless the losers off themselves. At least some of them are not breeding in order to 'save the planet'. Lol................
DeleteAnyone who has had to supervise these creatures-- I have-- is in for a ride. It is called intermittent Family leave. If someone decides at 11:00 they "need" to go home I was forced to let them go. This is a rolling six months..so with the intermittent it can go on forever at least in my time. One third of my staff rolled this way. Then a couple that were on full six months family leave...wonderful.. no way to employ a replacement..
ReplyDeleteBunk, part of obama's plan to destroy America. There must have been a real think tank of communists feeding the White House with ideas those 8 years.
DeleteAnd so many people still love Americas Enemy # 1 and the POS is still at it.
Anyone here know a book called The Excuse Factory?
ReplyDeleteIf not, you should.
It's even more telling tha The Peter Principle, if anyone remembers that?
Franco, I only read Orwell, Kurt Vonnegut, and science fiction and haven't read books in decades.
DeleteWhy read about common sense and similar when none of it is in practice in America. Just makes it more depressing. I know enough at this point to keep the critical thoought processes going.
My coworker FMLAs himself.
ReplyDeleteHe's a good guy.
But he's a millenial and he has real problems.
Ed, not sure what that amounts to in your coworkers case, but we have a guy in IT who has a Dad in nursing home and he hardly shows up for work. Like a day a week for months at a time. In our environment, the dude can use FMLA time then vacation time, then days with no pay time, and as it boils down, the IT dept is missing a person for the vast majority of the year. Essentially if he was actually needed to do his job, there would have to be a 2nd person to do it.
DeleteOn the other hand, the CEO at our 50 mil a year company drives a 200k 4 door Porsche so what they hey.
It means I carry a lot of the load. The two of us share automation duties.
DeleteBut in my case, I enjoy the work and the responsibility.
But I just began a weeks vacation and Monday head to Connecticut. :)
These snow flakes will figure it out once they no longer have their mommies folding their underwear and their daddies writing them blank checks: mommies and daddies die off, and snow flakes wake up. Maybe too late to recover and live any kind of comfortable life, but it happens. Sooner or later.
ReplyDeleteFredd I figure they put rubber to road, go homeless, or suicide.
DeleteYup, they pull their head out of their ass, or their lives become miserable and often short. That's the rules of the game, despite helicopter parents trying to change those rules.
DeleteLife's tough. EVerybody figures that out eventually, and I mean everybody.
I was lucky Fredd. Mine started out hard and poor and stayed that way for a good while. I was 40 before things started getting easier. In spite of it I had a heck of a good time and learned a lot along the way.
DeleteKid: you and me both. I had just gotten out of grad school, and was down to the last $7.00 to my name when I got a job: I was 38, and nearly homeless. Then things got better, a lot better.
DeleteFredd, Yea. Not a lot of money sloshing around in those days....
