Whites with no college degree 72%

[Slyhunter]

I have 3 grown kids the youngest is 55. All 3 are divorced, and only my middle son hsd a child so we have 1 grandkid and im thankful for that. All 3 were in bad marriages. Before one gets married one should plan for divorce. That means having $ put away.

What you don't trust me.

 

[Slyhunter]

Three for three? You must have raised some real winners or they have really poor choice of character. That's why you have one grandchild. As old as you are Methusaleh, you should be working on about a dozen, and some of them with your great grandkids! I am 65 and I'll be expecting great grandchildren within the next 5 years.

A lot of deceitful women out there. Women scare me. They cry and screw you over at the same time.

 

[Slyhunter]

get married young when it's easy to fall in love and then be willing to work to make yourselves work, both of you.

One grandchild is plenty. As i said im happy they got out of those wrecks. Of course thrre are those out there thinking we arent having enough kids. Those people will fall for anything. I mean anything. Lessers.

You make a good point. I'm an environmentalist. We are way over populated. And I think the rich who control our economy have given us an economy where it's too expensive to have kids. It's too expensive to buy a 3 bedroom home. It's too expensive to go to college. So we aren't having kids.

Do the math. Non college educated, $50K a year for 40 years is how much? Assuming you save 10%. Compounding interest. Or $85K with a college degree x 40 years but you got to pay for that college degree. Can't do that with a wife and kids.

Ask young women if having kids is top priority or is their career. You'd be surprised. We turned these young women into dudes. They want to make money not babies. Young boys want kids more than young girls do

Even my Gen X generation had our kids later and we had fewer kids.

I think it's great.

When my parents worked, employees could expect to work for one company their entire career, get a pension, good pay, healthcare. Ford, GM, Chrysler. These people had kids because they had job security. I think the average tenure at a company in America today is 5 years. I remember losing jobs and thinking "thank god I don't have a wife and kid". And I work with a guy who lost his job and he has a wife and kid. And he didn't have great parents like I did. I think he landed on his feet but I don't think he will be having a second kid.

One of Erika Kirk's core messages has been that women should prioritize marriage and having children—over pursuing career growth.

I think Gandhi and Robert Kennedy were legit

but most politicians are driven by ambition and thats just human nature

But trump has genuine ideals to make America great even if he wants to be put on mt rushmore someday

What ideals to make America great?

 

[sealybobo]

You stupid ****.
I not only went to college, I got a degree and then worked for 33 years for a major midwestern university.
Asshole. Typical leftist jumping to conclusions.
And if I did have son who was good at math, I'd encourage him to get a scholarship, although being white he'd have a hard time getting one nowadays.


it's not weird at all. It's only weird to eggheads who are removed from reality.
As I said earlier, if your shitter won't flush, calling a Humanities professor ain't gonna cut it. Jobs are disappearing for the intellectual types who never added a damned thing to America anyway. Nobody gives a shit anymore about Women's Studies or Indigenous Peoples Canoe Studies or whatever.
The demand for electricians and welders is off the charts. Not everybody is cut out for that but the jobs are there and the trade schools often cover most, if not all, of the costs, helped out by the trades industries

True story:
I graduated with a degree in American history back in the 70s.
My best friend asked me after graduation, "Well, what are you going to do with that degree? Be a teacher?"
"Oh, God no," I replied. "You know me; I hate kids."
"Come work with me then. We'll have a ball. You're great with machinery."
I ended up in the print shop of a major university. Fantastic job. I loved it ... for a third of a century.

So don't say if you had a kid you would push him into skilled trades. But everything else you said, all sounds good to me.

I got a communications degree. What am I going to do with that? Well, I always knew I wanted to go into sales. A lot of corporations require a degree. So at first I tried to get a major in business, but I struggled to get through the business level 1 classes. To get a major in business I would have to take stats 2, accounting 2, finance 2, economics 2, **** THAT! So I minored in business and got a communications major. I got a lot of jobs that I couldn't have got without a college degree. Even a History major gets your foot in the door at a lot of companies. The HR people insist. Is it a racket? Sure but since I spent the time and money to play the game, I sort of like it.

Hey, haven't professors gotten fucked the last 30 years? You guys used to make over $100k working part time and you had side gigs. I heard years ago being a college professor isn't what it used to be. This is what has happened to America. I know for sure public school teachers K-12 don't make what they once did.

If you are a boomer, **** you. LOL. You guys had it real good and now you are in charge telling us sorry we can't have it as good as you. In fact, we may need to cut your social security 20% in 7 years. Meanwhile, we still give ourselves cost of living increases every ******* year. Why not start there? Freeze payments. What you get now is what you will always get. Never more. Then maybe you boomers won't have to cut our ss 20% before you all croak. Are you a boomer?

"Overpopulation" is perhaps the greatest false crisis of all time. The next 3-4 generations are going to have to deal with the fallout from such stupidity. If a woman wants to pursue a career, that's great. If a woman wants to be a stay at home mom, that's great. We need much more of the latter.

Why?

I would not know. I have been married to the same woman for going on 43 years. I just cannot relate.

The problem is young women really aren’t buying the narrative that you and Erika Kirk has been peddling: that they’d be happier leaving their careers behind, getting married young, having children and “submitting” to their husbands.

Across the political spectrum, Gen Z women have very different feelings about marriage, children and metrics for success than both Erika Kirk and their male counterparts

23% of Gen Z men said they wanted to get married to avoid being alone, just 13% of women in that age group said the same.

And among members of Gen Z who said they don’t want to get married, 56% of women cited a desire to be independent, compared to just 41% of men

while Gen Z men who voted for Trump ranked having children as their No. 1 marker of success, their female counterparts ranked it sixth among their 13 choices. And while those men ranked being married fourth, those female Trump voters ranked it ninth.

In another twist, Gen Z women who voted for Trump ranked achieving financial independence higher than both groups of men and female Harris voters, placing it at No. 1.

“I hear in my listening sessions with Gen Z women a strong focus on financial stability and financial freedom as the top thing that they’re prioritizing when they think about metrics for success in their future,” she said.
It doesn’t seem like Erika Kirk grasps any of that.

she appeared utterly perplexed that so many young women voted for New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, a candidate who ran on affordability and America’s cost-of-living crisis.

Women huh? Go figure.

Gen Z women aren't so keen on the MAGA fantasy pitched by Turning Point's new CEO.

OMG, I just found another reason to go to college.

So there's

1. $1 million more over 30 years
2. Only 4% of murders are college educated people

3. The percentage of happy marriages varies by study, 70% to 25%, while others find around 90% of well-educated couples describing their marriage as happy. Key takeaway is that factors like education influence marital bliss

It makes sense. Most people fight over money. No college, less money. Usually. At least today. I don't know about you. You're a boomer right? It was different in your day.

How long have you been married?

 

[sealybobo]

How long have you been married?

Never been married. I was way ahead of my time. In the 2000's when my peers were having kids, I was banging chicks. I continued into my 50's. I'm 55 and single now though. Hoping to meet someone special to wipe my ass in 10 years.

It's a racket.
And it's changing.
Not every company treasures college degrees the way they used to. They realize colleges are graduating little snowflakes who are afraid to do any hard work.

You guys? WTF are you talking about? I wasn't a professor.
The price of college has FAR outstripped inflation. Look it up. Any Google search will reveal what a ripoff it is. Add to that confiscatory interest rates on loans and you've got yourself a big screw job planned by the liberal elites in this country.
And don't forget: professors are tenured. So they can do pretty much up to and including taking a crap on their desk during class and keep their worthless jobs.

It's hard to talk politics with boomers. Your parents, the greatest generation, handed you the greatest generation. And boy did you all **** the rest of us.

I'll be okay but boy did you boomers **** America good.
