About this episode
I was at church the other day. For the past two years that hasn’t been unusual. But what struck me was how leaden the message from the pastor felt. As American and Israeli bombs rained down on Iranian targets - including their supreme leader and a now confirmed schoolhouse for girls - we in the church pews were told America is the richest country in the world, and how we were chosen to serve others - in our community and outside of it. After service, struggling with my difficultly in giving aid to enemies and lobbing missiles at people I don’t consider my enemy while our country has the largest national debt in its history, I spoke to an older gentleman of the Boomer generation whom I’m friends with there. Sharing some of my concerns, we empathized over frustration with our government’s leadership given our shared experience seeing the Iraq and now Iran war, and his in Vietnam. We shook hands and parted ways, but what remains with me was the disconnect I feel from this older generation that many in mine are expressing now. Because of this a recent article by Billionaire Psycho on the Boomer Question resonated with me, and I will read it to you with his permission as part of a special episode on the current state of this nation. We live in extremely troubling times, with a leadership class seemingly incapable of understanding the needs of the people - especially of younger generations - and possibly leading us into a third world war. If I can add anything to the article, I would offer that the failing is not in any one particular generation’s leadership, but that of weak men in general, and to take it upon ourselves to lead us out - not under Boomers - but as one nation, under God.-- Brought to you by --Billionaire Psycho @ThomBrady5:with Adam Smith--New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html- http://myth20c.com~~-- Donations --~~BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ- https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/- http://theamericansun.com- http://twitter.com/myth20c- myth20c@tutanota.com- http://gab.ai/myth20c Get full access to The American Sun at theamericansun.substack.com/subscribe
