He says:I was born before him but in the same country. A country that then knew it could do anything and proceeded to do it. I watched his peers totally wreck that trying to be European, sophisticated and kewel. Not necessarily in that order..."I was born in a country that thought it could rebuild anything. You’re living in one lacking recuperative powers."
He's got 'can't do' and 'don't want to do because it's work' confused. They also tend to neglect 'I have to do what's right' in preference for 'everyone must like me.' They tend to believe 'reality is what my Boss wants -- or a little less.' Generic problems with that age group. Called the Pepsi Generation, wasn't it?
Hopefully, his Grandkids, like mine, are really seriously pissed at him and his contemporaries for what they've done and the kids will help fix it...
It is definitely fix-able. Up to the kids..
