I've changed a car battery as well
in sub zero weather in the parking lot at my work once. No biggy, but most kids today can't change a flat tire nor care to learn how.
I've also rebuilt the fan assembly motor for a Ford Vulcan V6 on my kitchen floor back in the early 90's when I had no garage to work in. Young people these days aren't all that resourceful, and many have had it too easy. Spoon fed, so to speak, but again, I digress. No apploogy for being off topic either. As John stated above, we Know of no identity of the critical poster, and they could be anyone at all. On the w.w. web, one can be whatever they choose to be and decieve others in doing so.
Some others are critical also of former leadership as having done nothing to warrant their positions. More most recent have been spoon fed, and an opportunist of the system in large part. We the people have had to eat the losses of suhch people in inflation, and their greed, as well as losses of our liveliehood and jobs.
Abraham Lincoln was a self educated lawyer. Modern leaders, candidates, and voters should eductate them selves by reading material on not only Lincoln, but also FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, MLK, etc., etc. before criticizing thier policies as anti democratic or anti republic. We the USA are both in fact, not just called a democratic republic as East Germany, etc. were. The same goes for business leaders like one of my Mentors, Lee Iacocca. I've read his books, and modeled my management skills from his. He predicted, as others as well, that we'd not be leaving our kids the estate, but rather the mortgages. One of my sayings is "mobody cares" about the average working class stiff today. Not our govt., not companies, and I'm disgusted of hearing excuses like small business runs the economy today, not big. B.S! If us average folks made more, we'd pay more in taxes, then the wealthy who get the largest tax cuts could shoulder more tax burdeon as a bady, then they wouldn't need be taxed so much. This is why our infrastructures are declinining, because we no longer pay the most as a group.
The last recession cause massive tax revenue defecits. Many earn half their previous incomes, many whom are now seniors who have decades paid into social security, and medicare. Oh yes, and I tell congress also! More of us need to.
