“I am 99 years old. When I was in high school, I became the head photographer for a newspaper. Then I got my law degree, and I am still a practicing lawyer. In college I was working from 4 in the afternoon until 2 in the morning. Today you have these bums getting their degrees, and they owe $300,000 in loans which they have no intention of paying. Usually it’s the foreigners who make it. They work hard. The Americans are spoiled.”
Fuck this guy.
So I did the math.
This man was born in 1914, which means that he was FAR too young to be in WW1. Presuming he was in HS from ages 14-18, he was serving as a news photographer anywhere between 1928-1932. Start of the Great Depression, true, but the heyday of the uncredentialed employee—and as a teenager, he had no assets to lose in the crash, no dependents and no debt. He escaped the Depression precisely because he was unattached and young.
Then, he hits WW2 in 1941. He’d be 27, maybe a family now. If he goes, he obviously survives and thus qualifies for the GI Bill, receives education at cost. If not, he benefits from a wildly less competitive job race (what with most other young males in that age group being killed in the war) and a corporate system that relies upon character and not credentials.
He’s established in the 50s and 60s, avoids the nam draft because of his age. He avoids AIDs too.
He’s benefitted from a confluence of history that gave him a head start in an era when newspapers hired high school students instead of MAs in fine arts, and has the temerity to call us lazy.
Cool, grandpa, lets see you apply for a job in this job market. Don’t be lazy now.

A mosquito bit my eardrum and now every song I listen to sounds like a middle school church band covering “Dude (Looks Like A Lady)” by Aerosmith, but they changed the words to “Dude looks like a savior.”
websites that allow you to make comments without registering and using your facebook account make it way too easy for me to get in fights online
it’s the website’s fault, you guys. it clearly put itself in that situation though
