THE PARADOX OF CHOICE

Three Generation

baby boomers —- stability and duty - decisions were fixed based upon societal pillars.

Gen X — pragmatism - there was skepticism but valued traditional markers

Millennials — identity and purpose - decisions were fluid always seeking the right fit

In 2015, I retired after 45 years in the workplace. My focus was business and management, project/.process management, total quality management, systems thinking, process improvement, process re-engineering, and teaching.

I started my writing journey in 1972 and would go to McDonalds for coffee each morning and started writing to have something to do rather than just sit there, drink coffee, and look out the window.

Are you in favor of our govt owning all farmlands and all farms; how about all car and airplane manufacturing companies; how about all computer and cell phone manufacturing companies; and how about companies like WalMart, Microsoft, Amazon, so that there is NO PRIVATE ENTERPRISE at all?

For 25 years I was the CEO/Owner of a sub chapter S corp and filed corp taxes, quarterly reports as well as personal taxes. Because I showed a loss, I paid no personal taxes. During this time, I used my corp finances to buy 5 homes that I, otherwise, would not have been able to buy. Go Figure

The only difference that I can tell between the two terms of Obama, the one term of Trump, the one term of Biden, & the first year of Trump is the following:

gasoline is cheaper
my cpa says my taxes are going down
illegal immigrants are being removed
wars have been stopped
my cost of living is down

I don't know about you, but the GOVT SHUTDOWN did not bother me one bit.

In fact, I hardly ever noticed it was happening unless I listened to the morning news.

Life went on for me like it always has...

I have been under treatment for one or three kinds of cancer since 2007... so I consider myself a cancer survivor.

Would like to chat with others who are cancer survivors or currently under treatment for cancer.

We should have much in common.

NO ONE SHOULD HOLD ANY PUBLIC OFFICE PAST FULL RETIREMENT AGE WHICH IS 67.

This includes:
President/VP
Congress
Supreme Court
Justices
Secretaries
Governors
Mayors

You should still be allowed to work if you choose just no public office

You and I have a right to have different beliefs, but we should not hate or ignore each other because of those beliefs.

In so doing, you have denied me the opportunity to get to know and understand you, whether it is reciprocated or not.

Trans should have a right to be trans as long as their rights do not interfere with the rights of others.

There is nothing wrong with trans, if that's who they are and who they want to be.

However, please don't force your beliefs on me nor I on you.

Live and let live
