Lets talk about the American Problem that is growing these days, Isolation, Loneliness and lack of human contact. In America in the 1950’s we had the baby boomer era. Then we had the peace and hippie era of the 1960’s. The 1970’s brought us the conservative era. Then the 1980’s hit and we went from a we, we , we society to a me. me. me society, which turned into a combo of I got mine screw you, get your own. And The Era of the Bill Cosby Show, and his talk to your kids, don’t hit them. The Anti-violence began.
By The 1990’s children were being brought up by advice, computers and video games, as babysitters. They got lost in a virtual world and basically never recovered. It became and still is today, a generation that wants everything handed to them and hates work. The 2000’s now began with a revitalization of discipline to a point, and things changed to lets help our families some. By today and we are now 25 years into the 2000’s it is once again the me, me, me society, but with an added dimension of fear, of abuse, being used, for money, or anything else. So, the dating scene for all, has dried up, especially for the mid aged to elder years.
So people invented dating apps and sites to meet others. They worked well for a bit, until, people began to put up fake profiles and fake photos and couldn’t be honest. The lying, and fake photos and more is now leading to a decline on the dating apps also. People are tired of it and basically, tired of trying to pay for what should come natural, meeting people. People don’t talk to one another anymore, they don’t laugh as much, they don’t interact the way we used to. Everyone is afraid of one another due to the possibilities of being used for money or sexual abuse, or more. Narscist abound in today’s society it seems. It is no longer the one for all and all for one, it is now I am for me and screw you. It is a sad state of affairs in America, when the trust, loyal and caring of the past generations is now reduced to such a point, society is suffering from it all.
Now it is not just America that is going through this folks, but it is America that has the power, and ability to change it back if we try. We need more places to dance, to laugh, to play, to do sports. More places for people tp go, to do things, and a more open society. Unless people start mingling, talking, interacting and learning to get along, America will fail and so will the world actually. Too many are now, staying alone, isolating, and keeping to themselves for different reasons. Now, I know I do so myself, to myself. Why, I fear involvement, taking a chance, and being talked about behind my back. I fear being taken for money, that I earned. I fear not being liked, or not being handsome enough, to be wanted. many have the same fears I know, which is why I know I am not alone. I have seen the news reports about it all, professors talking on it in discussions on TV and on the news. The reaction of society now erupting in violence due to this is crazy folks. We have people shooting one another for attention, children being shot in schools, teachers and parents too, getting shot on the streets. The animostity is huge in America right now, the recessed anger is unbelieveable.
I am old now, in my opinion at 69. I went to a tavern to have a sandwhich and beer by myself one day. I was talking to a younger generation couple next to me. We were discussing generations and i said, I thought my generation was the best, we grew up in the 60’s and 70’s we had it all. We had real cars made of steel, we had jobs and worked, we had the best music in the world. Well, the gentleman next to me went off on me, and I didn’t even know him. He insisted the 1980s, were the best period. As the discussion got deeper he started getting louder, so I shut up and let him be. When a simple discussion about which decade was the best goes bad, you know there is something wrong. The anger was crazy and I just walked away, once I finished eating. When, the guys girlfriend had to tap him on the shoulder and tell him to leave me be, I knew, there was anger issues there. But it shouldn’t have been that way.
As America goes forward we are now, wrapped in anger, discontent, worry, and in the end many are poor, abused and misused. many are now working two or three jobs to survive, Prices are soaring and they have less time to enjoy themselves. So, it is work, work, work, I am out to release some pressure and stress and tension, and because it is all recessed inside them, it erupts on society and spills over. We have a Presidnet who is lost in his own world, has no care about his country really, he just wants to be remembered. he is destroying, America from within. Medicare under attack, Medicaid under attack, Social Security under attack. Tariffs flying around left and right for no good reason, and in the end where is all that money going and being used for? Do we know?
Look the homelessness grows, home prices soar, car prices soar, food is up and so is necessities. When will it come down again, where are the jobs trump promised, where? What once costs 100.00 grand for a home now has tripled in price. Utility bills climb, cost of living has climbed, even vacines are attacked and they saved so many lives. What is happening folks, and how do we turn America around and go, enough, it’s time tos top the madness, the anger, and work together once more! The only question for me is when will it be, and will it be fast enough for me to see it in my lifetime?
