And young people will say “why didn’t you do anything? This is all your fault!”
And, to some extent, it is. Despite me being, at nearly every turn, on the right side of history. I was against the Afghanistan, Iraq war. Against Donald. Against Hillary and Kamala in the primaries. Against the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Against the war in Iran.
The unfortunate truth is that there are assholes in every generation. If Gen Alpha thinks they are different, I’m sorry, but no. There are vicious, pernicious assholes in your generation, too.
It’s good people versus evil. Two steps forward, one step back.
You good. But you know. My mom voted for Bush 2. And she thinks Steve Ballmer is a good guy. So, she is in trouble even with us that were born in the 70s.
I dunno, I’ve been hit in the head a few times. Maybe I just repeat this every time we clown on the clowns in their clown shoes? Maybe there’s other Florsheim enjoyers who wish they could go back to wearing their correctly sized comfortable shoes without a tinge of guilt by association?
Florsheim!
Look, I’m not into the intergenerational blame game.

“Back on MY day, Florsheim shoes were aspirational!”
“Back in MY day, Carter blinked versus the Iranians!”
“Back in MY day, women weren’t allowed to ask presidents questions!”
Fuck him.

You know what sucks? If they’re sized right, they’re some of the most comfortable dress shoes I’ve worn, even moreso for the price.
I’m either having the lamest Déjà vu, or I’ve read this exact comment before. Is this a reference, or am I going crazy?
