Gen-Z Topic

 I don't watch much Fox News anymore....maybe five minutes in an entire week.  So this business item came up a day or two ago, and it's been on my mind....about Gen-Z.

Roughly three-quarters of parents of Gen-Z 'kids'....admit that they help the kid complete work assignments.  I assume....they mean spreadsheet and data collection....which the kid takes home.  

The boss probably sits and 'thinks' that the new-hire did it himself/herself.

Bringing a parent to the job interview....probably to boost confidence.  

But then you have 45-percent of Gen-Z kids who have mom or dad talk to the manager....to re-assure him....about some situation or mess.

If I were the boss....the minute I got the impression....parents were deep into my business structure and the Gen-Z kid could only function with 'guidance'?  I'd let the kid go (he can't stay).

All of this begs the question....was the parent doing the same BS when the kid was in high school, and college? 

Six Random Thoughts

 1.   I watched a 90-minute 'debate'....one single pro-capitalist versus 20 anti-capitalists (really....they are communists and it seemed like all were between 18 and 30 years old.

At the conclusion....I noted two things.

First, the anti-capitalists always seemed to have zero-interest in what the capitalist guy said or suggested.  They seemed unfocused (constantly).

Second, in terms of persuasion-points....where viewers were sitting there and might lean toward something....the anti-capitalists pretty much lost each single point.

2.  The more I see on this Fed Governor Lisa Cook (with the mortgage paper problems)....the more I'm convinced she has less than the average IQ...considered to be '100'.  

3.  I watched a interview with two parents, and a journalist:

Reporter: At what age do you think a child can tell they're trans?

Liberal parent: Our child told us at 1 and a half-years-old.

I'm just wondering if the kid (age: 18 months) had said he wanted a pet lion....if they would have gotten him one.

4.  Trump on Biden's pardons: "It looks to me like those pardons are worthless."

By the end of 2026....I expect arrests to occur....the pardons be deemed 'unqualified' and journalists mostly trying to convince people they were legit when signed by the machine.

5.  At some magical moment....enough of a Muslim society will exist in the UK....to take down LGBTQ entirely....in a matter of just 100 days.   It'll freak people out to such an extent....that there's a mad rush of everyone....to leave the isle.

6.  If you sat and listed out forty top values/points of the Democratic Party in 2025....I doubt that there's more than three that I might lean towards.  In 1978?  Of 40 in that era....I might have leaned toward 10 to 20.  What happened over 50 years?
