Los Angeles is over run by foreign “hard workers”

Why is CA. going down the tubes?

Judging from your response, I must have struck pretty close to home for you to reply the way you did. However, regardless of how you feel, I feel like I spoke the truth, and no it is not because I believe myself to be superior than any one else.

In your response you say, “I can see that you have NO faith in any of your fellow humans.” I have much faith in people. As stated above, people are capable of all kinds of good and bad things. I am simply responding to the thesis of this article based on opions that I have gained through experiences.

P.S. From what I have seen from your response, I would not let you in my life boat, nor would I want to be welcomed in one with you either.

Let us analyze what exactly is the root cause. First, the last couple of generations, people between the agaes of 1 and 50-years-old, have had it so easy due to the abundance that our society has generated in the last fifty years has turned them into sel-absorbed and serving, mean, egotistical maniacs that will do anything, including force against others, to gain what they want. Secondly, our police forces have been formatted to generate money for the prison-industrial-complex, they let crimes slide or go on(unless you are not a criminal). This has created a sense of invulnerability among the citizens, one which causes people to scoff at the law and ultimately believe that they can do what they want and get away with it.

As stated above about the last couple of generations, amny people on here might be affended at the ages that I pointed out, so what. I worked in Krogers for nearly a year and watched grown men and women(customers of various ages) get mad and throw tantrum over little nit-picking stuff(their kids were more level headed than they were). It did not help that most of my co-workers, who were middle aged, were very self-serving even though they worked hard.

However, my generation, the millenials or generation Y, will probably prove to be the pinnacle of all that is stated in the article.

You all tell me, how can we be so sure this time America won’t beat the odds. Heck, even the Saints won the Superbowl. Isn’t that really the American dream? To be able to beat the odds to secure a high quality of life?

I managed a retail establishment last year that is seasonal. All of the employees that the owner hired that were under 40 I had to fire. The first half were lazy obsessively texting internet surfing junkies or illegal aliens I had to fire. Oh boy did they think I was a bitch, but I got the job done, on time and under budget.

The 2 best employees I had was a 40 year old white man and a 65 year old Columbia woman. The man was a class A employee. He made slightly over minimum wage but he was grateful to have a job. Worked anytime I asked him. If I were to call him, he’d be on the next bus to show up for work. Wanted to work, needed to work. Stellar employee. Anytime I get a call in regard to a reference to him, I gave him high accolades.

The Columbian woman, same thing. Showed up on time, dressed professional, spoke professionally on the phone and interact with the customers like a class act.

The Nintendo generation (boy that’s a good one) is full of lazy, obese, low IQ brain dead people. There are few good young people out there, but they are far and few between. When I go to a retail store, I purposely try to pick a register that has a baby boomer working it. If I happen to get a younger man/woman, it’s a joke. They rarely make eye contact and mumble intelligible. I leave the register and don’t even know what they said.

Just to screw with them sometimes I mumble something stupid like I’m being beamed up to Mars after I leave here to see if they’re really paying attention.

The entitlement mentality is the worst. All of these kids want a $100K job or something close. Those days are over unless you get a cushy government job. I’ve been in and out of work for the last 3 years. It’s been rough for me. I’ve worked minimum wage jobs, scavenged for cans and bottles to sell for money, held garage sales, etc…to put food on the table. Many people would think they’re too good to do what I do.

This country is falling apart because Congress has passed bad policy for 30 years and few Americans took time out from watching American Idol to notice. Now that everything is falling apart, you can’t find a job, you are going broke, you may lose your house, you can’t pay the doctor bills, you can’t pay the credit card bills–we are waking up.

As for people going postal when they are desperate, you’ll be seeing lots more of that.
