Jeep humor waiting room ( ** NO POLITICS ** )

Like it or not. (And not too much boys) It is who I am.
Btw, my mom is a rock star and the best person I’ve ever met.

Also, I said "almost"

I snuck in to the theater through the Exit door in Mystic, CT in 1978 to see "Animal House", I was 15

I was almost a twinkle in... never mind. I think my parents got married that year.

Go to your room without dinner young lady.

I'm guessing I shouldn't chime in here?

Thanks for the heads up. I'm still watching my pennies for a bit to see how my personal economy recovers. I'm pretty sure that my current extreme lack of funds is due to the quarterly removing of monies by my lovely town folks. Seems they feel I should pay them to live here. Commies!

Well when the 7 gets announced the 6 and the 5 will be that much cheaper.

That's what I was thinking too.

damn sure makes sense to me

these younger men are just lost

"Lost" doesn't begin to explain it in my opinion.

Consider for a moment what that generation (of which I am a member of) has gone through:
Technology:
-A computer in every house
-TVs in multiple rooms
-Cordless phones
-The rise of cell phones
-Smartphones
-Walkman->Discman->Minidisk->MP3 players-> iPod
-THE INTERNET

Our childhoods went from playing outside in the woods or street every day to being parked in front of a screen all day.

Deeper...
Go to school, get your 4 year degree, get a job... only to witness the death of the American Dream in the Great Recession. We did everything we were told to do, and watched as the goalposts got moved further and further back. We have been thrust into an economy that is infinitely more difficult to get started in than it was 30-40 years ago. The cost of living, housing, food, tuition have all exploded, yet wages remain stagnant. We watch, marginalized, as the generation before us scavenges whatever is left. We played the game by their rules only to find that the game has changed. We got a shit deal. And now we are continually told that it's our fault that we are in the situation we are in.

I'm not trying to point fingers or play the blame game here or be confrontational (I still love you guys!). But, yeah, wouldn't you feel "lost" after all that? At 31, I just now started making enough money to save some of it (which I spent on a $40,000 toy, but that's my fault ).

My point is, if you look at how drastically the social, political, and economic landscapes have changed in the last 35 years, and then consider that a whole generation grew up in the middle of that turmoil, the fact that we are "lost" is elementary.

(Stepping off my soapbox now...)

And of course it has nothing to do with the three Jeeps in 18 months plan, right?

Well, my parents hadn't even met in 1978...I was born 9 years later though
