Yet, ask any of them how they got where they got, they're gonna tell you "hard work" and that other countries and generations of people just need to "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" and "work harder" and "grow up"
it's just natural human behavior, we believe we are entitled to and deserve what we have and more, and very few of us have any empathy for those with less

Yep,back in the day there were free public colleges. When I was a kid you could deliver pizza's for the summer and pay for the college year. My friend talks all these kids are entitled. The state school that cost him 3k a year that he paid for working a part-time job, now costs 15 k a year. But those kids are entitled. lol I see help wanted ads to work the front desk at fucking mailboxes etc and the bachelor's degree is preferred. I worked a gm made $11 an hour with no experience and I could afford a decent apartment, a car and some money in my pocket for fun. I wouldn't want to be a kid now. lol
