Whites with no college degree 72%

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

See what she says at 30.

Mine is 31 and has no intention of ever having children.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I think he’s having an episode.

I think his life is now one continuous episode.

 

[Slyhunter]

Its not an issue in our society.

You brought it up.

 

[initforme]

You brought it up.

Nope. I just blame feminism for less marriages and kids born
The purely economic reasons. Affordability has been an issue for many man years.

 

[Unkotare]

Nope. I just blame feminism for less [sic] marriages and kids born
...

Fewer.

Failure to prepare is preparing for failure. More and more married couples are finding that out, the hard way. Once the honeymoon is over the hard work begins and the sunshine and roses disappear. Harsh reality. Nothing at all bsd about getting out of a bad marriage. Why attempt to live in abject misery? Divorce is a necessary way out.

I am one of four siblings. Between us, we have over 200 years of marriage and none have ever been separated, nor have any of us considered divorce. Once more you've proven yourself a fool.

Republicans are now the party of the working class.

Not only that, but a college degree, while often valuable, is no longer producing the most responsible of citizens. Yes, we want our doctor, civil engineer, professor, accountant to have a college degree. But the foundation of America is built by those in professions that require no degree. And Republicans/MAGAs/constitutionalists/those on the right are the ones who champion those people while the left use them as an example of 'failure' of right wing government.

Imagine a country occupied by only people in professions requiring a college degree. We wouldn't like it.

I don't know who wrote this but it is universally true:

"The man in the three-thousand-dollar suit glanced at my hands before he even looked at my face.
“Maintenance is down the hall,” he said politely. “Air conditioning issue?”
I knew exactly what he saw.
Knuckles scarred from decades of wrench work.
Hands thick from turning bolts in freezing truck stops.
A permanent line of grease beneath my nails that even my best scrubbing can’t erase.
I looked at his hands—smooth, manicured, topped off with a heavy gold watch.
“No, sir,” I said, my voice a little too loud for the pristine high-school library. “I’m here for Career Day. I’m Jason’s father.”
He blinked, gave a stiff smile, but his eyes said what he didn’t:
You? Really?
My name is Mike Riley. I’m 58 years old. I’ve been a long-haul truck driver for thirty years. I’m a widower, a veteran, and a dad who tries his best. My son Jason attends this polished suburban school where everything smells like new textbooks and wealth.
This was Sarah’s school—my late wife. She taught here, loved here, lived here. After she passed, the school created a scholarship in her name.
So when Jason told his teacher I was a “logistics and supply chain specialist” and should speak at Career Day, I felt like saying yes was a way of honoring her.

I parked my old F-150 between a luxury SUV and a spotless German sedan. I walked in wearing my best jeans, a fresh flannel, and boots I’d shined twice.
Inside the library, the lineup of presenters read like a magazine cover.
Dr. Chen, neurosurgeon, opened with a futuristic video on brain mapping.
Mr. Davies, the finance dad with the gold watch, followed with stock charts and phrases like “leveraging capital” and “Q4 positioning.”
Jason sat in the back row, shoulders hunched, wishing he could disappear.
Then the principal touched my arm.
“Mr. Riley? You’re next.”


I walked to the front with nothing but my own voice. No slides. No videos. Just the truth.
“Good morning,” I began. “My name is Mike Riley. I’m not a doctor or an investor. I didn’t finish college. I’m a truck driver.”
Murmurs. Curious glances. A few raised eyebrows.
“My son calls me a logistics expert. Which I guess means I drive a very big truck a very long way. And I figure I’m here to explain why that matters.”
I turned to Dr. Chen.
“What you do saves lives. But the tools you use—every circuit, every wire, every plastic casing—those didn’t appear out of thin air. Someone packed them in a crate. Someone loaded that crate on a truck. Someone drove it across the country.”
Then I nodded toward the finance dad.
“And sir, those numbers you showed? They represent real things—food, medicine, steel, supplies. This country doesn’t run on unlimited Wi-Fi and spreadsheets. It runs on wheels. On people willing to travel thousands of miles so shelves stay full and hospitals stay stocked.”
The room grew still.
“In March 2020,” I said, “when everything shut down, you stayed home. You did puzzles. You baked bread. But drivers were told to keep going. It felt like I was the only person on the highway some days. I delivered 40,000 pounds of toilet paper once. My dispatcher cried on the phone because her own mom couldn’t find any. You can’t Zoom a bag of flour. You can’t download hand soap.”
Students leaned forward. Teachers nodded.
“Two winters ago, I was hauling insulin across Wyoming. A blizzard shut the interstate. I sat in that cab for three days—twenty below zero—listening to the hum of the refrigeration unit. If that unit died, so did the medicine. I wasn’t thinking about the cost. I was thinking about the family waiting for it.”
I scanned the room. Jason was sitting up straight now.
A student in a “Future CEO” shirt raised his hand.
“Sir… don’t you regret not going to college? My dad says jobs like yours mean people didn’t have other choices.”
The room froze.
I smiled gently. “Son, when the lights go out, you call a lineman, not a business professor. When the pipes burst, you don’t reach for a textbook—you call a plumber. And when you walk into a store expecting food on the shelf, you’re relying on farmers, factory workers, warehouse crews, dispatchers, and drivers like me.”
I paused.
“Those careers aren’t fallbacks. They’re foundations.”
A voice spoke from the back. Quiet at first.
“My mom’s a dispatcher.”
A skinny kid stood up, eyes shining.
“She works nights. Holidays. She’s the one who finds drivers when hospitals need supplies. People yell at her all the time when packages are late, but she keeps going. She isn’t less important than anyone else.”
He looked at the CEO shirt kid.
“She’s a hero. And so is he.”
He pointed at me.
The room fell silent. Then applause. Real, heartfelt applause.
Jason walked up and stood beside me. He didn’t speak—he just put his arm around me. And that was enough.
Later, on the drive home, he finally said, “Dad… I had no idea about what you’ve done out there.”
“It’s just the job,” I said.
“No,” he whispered. “It’s so much more.”
Here’s the truth:
This country isn’t held up by titles or corner offices. It’s held up by callused hands, tired feet, and people who show up in storms, in shutdowns, in the middle of the night when no one else can.
We are not the backup plan.
We are the backbone.
So next time you ask a young person what they want to be, don’t just say, “Where are you going to college?”
Try asking, “What do you want to build? What do you want to keep running? What will you help carry?”
And if that kid says,
“I want to weld,”
“I want to fix engines,”
“I want to deliver supplies,”
“I want to drive trucks like my dad,”
look them in the eye and say:
“This country needs you. We’re counting on you.

Blah blah blah. Yoy support a party that always wants more Govt. Karen

That's Erika Kirk's spin on women working too. She says regarding women who say making their own money is top priority "I just don't want them relying on government"... Oh shut the **** up Erika you ******* hypocrite.

Did she have life insurance? Because a stay at home mom needs lots of life insurance in case something happens to hubby.

 

[sealybobo]

Fair trade, made in America by Americans

Respect for law and order

A drug free society

Do you have fair trade with your barber? Because he never spends any money with you. You need to tell your barber either he starts buying what you sell or you're going to find another barber.

So why would China buy as much from us as we buy from them? We buy from them because it's cheaper. Why should they buy just as much from us?

I like drugs.

Trump doesn't respect the law. So quit kidding yourself there.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

This much is obvious.

So what are all the reasons to go to college?

1. Only 4% of murders are college educated people
2. We make $1 million more than non college educated people

3. Economic despair among white men and women, particularly those without college degrees, is a significant issue in the U.S., leading to "deaths of despair" (suicide, overdose, alcohol-related deaths) due to lost stable jobs, declining wages, social isolation, loss of status, and diminished hope for a better future, a trend highlighted by economists Case and Deaton and affecting demographics across rural and industrial areas. While men have historically seen higher rates, women's rates have risen sharply, driven by economic precarity and cultural factors that make some feel their lives are worsening relative to their parents' generation.

4. 90% of well-educated couples describing their marriage as happy. Key takeaway is that factors like education influence marital bliss

You are a POS.

It was your sides Fanatical killer who killed her husband.

**** you and the horse you rode in on.

I dont spend much time worrying about a military or economic threat from my barber

He is not using the money I give him to build a navy and air force to drive us out of asia and dominate a strategic trade route that is important to our way of life

Was it? The conspiracy theorists on your side say no way that guy could have taken that shot. That was an exit would so came from the other direction. Very sloppy processing of that crime scene. The guy they arrested was a pawn? He had a tranny lover? Oh how convenient but something smells fishy.

The letters to his tranny lover? You buying that? I bet you think Epstein killed himself too and Trump hasn't scrubbed any wrongdoing from the Epstein file.

We will never know.

Here you are trying to twist his death shot by one of your party's Perverts

Always denying when the proof is that you guys are violent. And when you do speak of a generalized violence, it is usually one Republican atrocity to a hundred Prog Socialist Communist ones. And you make thing sound like the worst in the planet's history.

Having a college degree makes you an “elite”?

Used to. At one time so did having a 4800 baud modem.

And yet you want as non college educated illegals in the country so the college educated will do the work you won't.

And while you look down on all the people you just insulted, denigrated, and demeaned, you might want to set aside your arrogance and snobbery and read Post #227. You almost certainly are incapable of understanding it, but who knows?

The white working class has a long history of being duped by the wealthy white race hustler.

Th white working class has a long history of providing quotas, entitlements and allowances to blacks.

As a white homo liberal pretending to be black, you’re not aware of that.
