They are not called the 'me, me, me' and 'look at me, look at me' generation for nothing. Total self interest from many of them.

Perhaps I am looking at it through an aged perspective and we were the same in the past - but whereas I still open doors for people, no one even says 'thanks'.

As a child I sawed logs and chopped firewood to raise money for Xmas gifts for the relatives who sent me a gift plus as many elderly and disabled living locally as I could. But my nieces and nephews never even said thanks for what I gave them and certainly did nothing for people in their community - yet they had money that they never even had to labour to gain.

I really think there is a big difference in attitudes and will that continue at an increasing rate in future generations (until they are replaced by AI robots!)?

 

and millions of idiot young people never make it....

 

Those currently saving our 'old asses' (and we of course respect them for it) are here because of what the 'old asses' did in previous times - if all the 'old asses' had not fought in previous conflicts, we could all be in slavery.

 

To be honest if I had to work there right now and have people from all over the place talk to me the whole day I'd also require everybody to wear a mask.

Been there this morning (after walking away on my first attempt the other day due to crowds and lack of mask as well) , arrived 5 before 8 and got number 12. Old farts get up early

Been out 8:40, not too bad. But if you find a travel agency that makes this somehow more convenient, please let us know...

 

do I detect a hint of ageism ... we probably take more precautions than young people hence the fact that we are old
