"Young people quitting their jobs in droves"

[Maverick]

Will this explains a lot, I guess life is a mental health issue... Yep, No hope for the future!

"About half of millennials and 75 percent of Gen Zers have quit their jobs for mental health reasons"

"For baby boomers, the number was the lowest, with less than 10 percent quitting a job for mental-health purposes"

yep, modern life makes everybody nuts.

I think hunger tends to cure a lot of mental issues. Don’t work, don’t eat....

 

[lonewolf]

there's always welfare, at least for now.

 

[Maverick]

Welfare has gotten out of control in this Country along with Social Security!

 

[Silent Earth]

The latest generation of humanity IE Millenials is by far the most pathetic, weak, emotional, useless generation of humans ever.

 

[Mountain trapper]

Fortunately not all kids are this worthless and useless. It all depends on their parents and the environment that they grow up in.

 

[tmttactical]

I think my grand kids will rule. They are being raised to have a back bone. Strong work ethics, financial awareness and gun toting conservative.

If Trump gets a second term and I think He will . I think there will be a major " free stuff " reform . Its not a good topic to take up before the election but Im sure its on the agenda . Then alot of People will be going back into the work force .

Glad you are back Brent. All I can say to Mavs post is we are screwed in our future and doomsday may be right around the corner sooner than we think.

I don’t care what party is in power at any given time. Neither seem to be able to know how to balance a checkbook! We are allready bankrupt as a country and are just too stupid to know it yet. What is it now, 22trillion? Yeah, 90% of the free stuff needs to stop, yesterday.
On a positive note I saw the guy over dekalb county in Ga. they put the brakes on spending and have a 100+ million surplus. He was using the ant and grasshopper parable as an example. They cut out all wants and only spend on needs for the last year or so. He said they are saving for when the economy takes a downturn. First time I’ve respected something coming out of a politicians mouth in a long time.

Thanks, I was missing everyone! I’m Leary of any social media as I see it used by the govt, employers and even in social relationships to bring up stuff out of context that was said years ago to paint someone as evil. This is the only form of social media I’ve ever used but am sure some of the things I’ve posted could be misconstrued easily. Either way, I do enjoy most of the banter and conversations here, so why stop?

Brent, you do what makes you happy. Life is too short.

Good advice. Yeah, it is short, just celebrated my youngest son’s 31st birthday tonight. He is still depressed over it! 31 is looking pretty good from my perspective nowadays....

My MIL passed away a couple days ago at the age of 96. She lived life to the fullest she could at that age everyday. Even though I had to give up a lot of what I normally do on a day to day basis, I was able to help her live herS in her final days so I have no regrets in what I did. . . .

I've had several employees I can think of quit for "mental health" reasons, or take a leave of absence. (I only allow them a LOA if they are otherwise good employees; if not, I just "encourage" them to resign.)

When I was a medic, mental health was a big issue with my co-workers. I miss my field, as I got steel rods in my back and a spinal fusion, but I also have PTSD, chronic nightmares, flashbacks, and so on.

I've seen perhaps 8,000 car accidents, perhaps 1,000 human deaths, decomposed human bodies....I've been stabbed, shot at, and so on.

Don't downplay the mental health angle. PTSD is real.....not something that has to be "toughed out" because you need to "man up" and stop "being a pansy", and so on. When people say things like this, I get strongly tempted to punch them in the face.

 

[lonewolf]

when you have a two party system(we have other parties in the UK but they will never get into power) made up of Elite's who think they know better than the voters that elected them and go against the wishes of said voters then that's the end of democracy.

I’m sorry she passed, but hope it was as peaceful as possible. I know you were doing a lot of work on your house for her. You can’t complain about a life of 96 years though. As they say, she got her money’s worth!

Bravo! Happy to hear you writing as such. Oh uh, or else, I hope Brent's account didn't get hacked by a real conservative!

I know there are true mental health issues that are serious, like PTSD and depression, especially in high-stress and dangerous fields. I'm not minimizing the importance of understanding and treating those appropriately. I just don't have time for the spoiled (presumably of rich parents) college kids who get such severe anxiety from working 15 hours a week while in school that they have to quit their jobs without notice.

Sorry to hear about your mother in law. She was lucky to have you to take care of her.

I’m neither liberal or conservative and feel both sides have some good ideas. I like to look at the individual issues and make a decision on it alone, not what some group wants me to think. I am ok with some welfare, for the sick and truly needy, just not the long term handouts for multi generational families that are able bodied.
