Maaaaayyyybe......And of course it has nothing to do with the three Jeeps in 18 months plan, right?
Thank you, Sir. I like this editorial - it frames my incoherent jumble of thoughts rather nicely...
I honestly couldn't finish reading it. Just too damn depressing.Thank you, Sir. I like this editorial - it frames my incoherent jumble of thoughts rather nicely...

But I'll leave it at that, lest we talk about non-Jeep things for too long.
It does. You’re forgiven.I’m sorry
That’s true. And beyond that, none of those movies truly stand up to today’s world. They aren’t movies I’m in a rush for my daughter to see...
Do they seriously greet you with a “this is the day that the lord hath made” welcome??Pretty much.
Which is why I bought a Jeep...
Me too!I love the comic book movies
"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...)
