with continued property taxes, estate taxes among everything else that is taxed, and all subject to seizure or confiscation if the right story can be fabricated --- most of us never really get to truly "own" anything
True, we just think we own things. We're taxed on literally everything and give money away to our enemies.

I'm not sure that true. I turned 40 this year. I started working at 10. I retired at 34. Now I may be a outlier. I've run into the problem of being over qualified for common jobs and under qualified for jobs that need a degree. I'm back in college right now. I think it's mostly a generalization that millennials want that, not to say I haven't meet some that do. I was taught if you work hard you will go places. What I learned is that was for Gen x and Boomers. But not for my generation which sucks. I'm not sure when it transitioned but it did.

I wasn't surprised at all. Look who has been in charge of "education" this past 4 decades - Leftist/Socialist/Communists.
All the teachers were trained in the same institutions, run by the same Socialists that were burning down University buildings back in the late 60s-early 70s.

Give me control of education, I can rule the world in 50 years.
Way longer than that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dewey Blame this guy, among many others.

Nuclear Fission as a concept was developed in 1934 by Enrico Fermi in 1934 who set the stage for Nuclear Fission, although formalized by Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch in 1938. One may even credit Einstein if looked at closely. The United States Officially won that race to a sustained reaction, unless you believe the Japanese detonated an atomic bomb early 1945. Programmable computer was actually developed in the 1850's by Charles Babbage https://www.computerhistory.org/babbage/ in England, a Monarchy. The first swept wing aircraft was a biplane developed in the 1900's by J.W. Dunne in the United States. The transistor which made electronic computers viable was a US invention. The Electron Microscope was Prior to the Nazi Party in 1931, although not commercialized until 1938.

Yes, socialism/communism is capable of high tech, but innovation not so much.
Vacuum tube computers were viable, there was just a failure of imagination concerning them. And you can also build computers with relays. I understand the guy who ran IBM back then thought there might be demand for any many as 4 or 5 computers in the whole world. I have more than that in my living room... ;)

And back when newly portable computers were available, people who wanted to take one to the USSR were advised to refer to them as a calculator, as typewriters and duplicators were rigidly controlled.

Let them, they have no idea what it's like but they can pack their own bags because I am not going to help them. Many want free things and don't want to pay their bills. They even want free dental care and I say...pay your own way, dont expect others to take care of you and your problems.

Millennial here. College educated, veteran, graduated from two different technical school and work my tail off now. My entire peer group is similar and my coworkers have identical resumes. I also was not asked to take a survey at any point about whether I liked socialism or not. Point being, don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. We’re still out her grinding and keeping the economy moving forward and defending our nation. I don’t think our generation is as bad as a survey says. Just different times.
