the thread about nothing...

I've seen so many older men who, themselves, did not go into the trades recommend trade work for younger guys. It's always been a funny thing to me.

Don't get me wrong, trades can be a great path if that's what you want to do but there is a reason why an entire generation of men didn't go into trades: long days often spent out in the elements, physically demanding, A lot of tradesmen have physical issues as they get into their 50s and 60s. Not to mention a lot of the tradesmen I know tend to have alcohol and other substance abuse problems.

A generation of men who won’t listen to guidance and lost and don’t know what direction to go in. Will stay lost cause they were raised by they mothers if you have a dad with direction you will follow intuitively from instinct just from what you've seen as you grow up will inherit a trade. Also a trade is how you used to inherited businesses from family you needed to know the trade to become the ceo. Now nobody learns anything from there forefathers and wont go seek it out.

I tend to only see kids that aren't on the right path to be told to go into trades. It's not like 4.0 students in their Soph years of college are being told that.

What the older male has done with his life has nothing to do with the advice he is giving a young man that he sees isn't particular eager for traditional education.

The most important reason is they were taken out of the public school system in favor of pushing the, "College for All" agenda. THAT's the main reason there was such a low number of black men going into trades vs. a generation prior.

This happened to me the only time I ever boarded a plane ****faced. As soon as we go in the air, I took off my seat belt, laid across the seats and as I dosed off I heard someone say, "You can do that???"

Contrary to what President Drelon Trusk has told you, you will be charged 9 bux if you drive into lower Manhattan today.

The Mummy 1 (Brendan Frazier) is a cult classic. I can watch that movie at any point on tv and still be entertained. A late 90’s classic.

The minimum wage use to be $5.15 in 2003 and some ppl never got the raise because the companies they worked for wouldn’t honor it. Meaning they were making $4+ a hour and kept working just 20 years ago

Wayne verse on swerve onm is mentally next level the double triple entendre word play fire. “I cross yo a** up like jesus baby” out the gate. Basketball-religion-rap all defining the same thing with the same words but different meanings and perspectives.

Speaking of Wayne, I like to randomly say the F stands for phenomenal when I hear him.
