The last four are true. The first two I would dispute. Everybody I know has more than my parents ever had, and the planet is a lot more resilient than people think.

Ya, I tend to agree that there are not many things in this world that are 'absolute'...

My niece is 25(ish) and was raised in southern california and I suspect that she shared this post from one of her friends from the same demographic...
I was kinda taken-back by the reference to 'we can not afford to life our parents lived' as well - BC the dream for me was to create conditions for my kids to be better off than I was at their age in order to set them up for greater life successes...

One of the things that I have noticed with a large number of my three kids generation of friends is that they do not all have the same kind of near-, mid- and long-term goals and plans as I did at that age...
Which reminds me of the old saying: "failure to plan, is planning to fail."

So while I do agree that a large number of the younger generation will be fruitful and be able to find their niche within the new era of technology; I do fear that the younger generation(s) that are influenced by social-media will not have the inherent 'work-ethic' as their parents to proactively take the time to create those conditions necessary to enable their mid- and long-term goals and plans...

Agree with our Lord's creation being resilient; albeit it is a bit concerning to know that these are the perspectives of a snap-shot sampling of our younger generation...

I don't believe in global warming, but I think the climate really is changing. Southern california's going from a desert to a tropic.

Sometimes I think people's memories become very skewed over time (not just you Zero) I lived in SoCal for over 20 years and it was a repeating cycle of multiple years of drought (and fierce fire seasons) followed by a year (sometimes two) of flooding.

I've been here 30 years and the drought ended in 2016. We used to barely have any rain days all year. When we did get rain, it came in nov. and dec. Now we're getting rain in jan., feb.. I also look at the average record temps and we've been below average for some time. Not just this year. Average for this time of year is in the high 60's low 70's and we've been staying in the 50's. (the pic I posted isn't current)

About a week ago they said the sierra snow packs are already over 140% full and that it's shocking to see them this full so early in the year. The average is 107% in April. At this rate it might be 200% by then!

"What's worse than raining cats and dogs?"

"Hailing taxis."
