The Driving In Silence Mandy Connell

Wow. This is absolute financial malpractice. I wish I were surprised.

@KeruboSk Gen X did it on a typewriter.

Millennials are the elite generation because they cranked out 12-page essays the night before they were due. No ChatGPT. No Claude. Just lo-fi beats playing in the background, Black coffee at midnight, footnotes that were somehow correct, and pure delusion. Grade was an A minus. Period.

@RonwellQDobbs @Bitcoin_Teddy I was the only college drop out in my friend group. They were bartenders, servers, and cooks with college degrees. One taught community college. It took them all about five years to find what ended up being their long term careers. I was a flight attendant.

@MandyConnell @Bitcoin_Teddy But you dropped out. Why do you think you can compare that to people who graduated and still got nothing for it?

Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.” No, you didn’t. You didn’t pay $3200 for rent and $10 for eggs. You didn’t graduate into $50K student debt and $0 job security. Gen Z isn’t dramatic. They’re drowning.

@RonwellQDobbs @Bitcoin_Teddy The point is launching into adulthood is hard for every generation. We all face unique challenges. It's time to stop acting like it's all impossible now.

@MandyConnell @Bitcoin_Teddy What is the point you think you're making here?

@colokenny @Bitcoin_Teddy Takimg some spring break time with the kid.

@MandyConnell @Bitcoin_Teddy Where are you? We need you on the radio. Haha...

@BradJfromLJ @Bitcoin_Teddy Same.

@MandyConnell @Bitcoin_Teddy Mentioned roommates to an adult aged family member the other day and it was as if I’d insulted them. I had roommates until I moved in with who would become my wife.

This was the norm for everyone I knew. Every struggle made us stronger. Challenge is how you grow. This is not new. But here's the thing, you will be fine. You will do the hard things and eventually things get easier because you make better choices and grow and succeed. That's life.

@MandyConnell @Bitcoin_Teddy Okay but lets think for a second. This is the norm/standard now. This is very similar to what an entire generation is going through. What does that say about the state of our economy and country? Do you genuinely think this is acceptable? Do you know what's about to happen to us?

BREAKING: Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister eviscerates the Iranian regime. “I do not understand how they claim to defend Islamic causes while attacking Islamic countries. Even before this war, what was Iran’s contribution to the Islamic world?”

New York Gov Kathy Hochul: 2022: [to Republicans] "jump on a bus and head down to Florida, you don't represent our values, you are not New Yorkers." 2026: "maybe the first step is to go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home, our tax base has been eroded." 🤣

Israeli intelligence is insane.

"There is now unambiguous, solid economic evidence, not just abstract economic theory, that rent control would make the affordability problems facing [Massachusetts] worse, not better." - Jon Gruber, Chairman of the Economics Department at MIT

@jwludwig Mmkay, champ, you win. You have your finger in the pulse of every aspect of human suffering. You need to learn nothing. Have a good day.

I don’t need to listen to an interview about something that has been occurring on and off for a long time. Your over emotional reaction to your interview is the problem. I don’t have to be a Jewish person to understand and comprehend what the Holocaust was about. Your argument is as dumb if I claimed that you could not comprehend what happened at Columbine High School in 1999 unless you had a child attending school there. I did, but I wouldn’t insult your intelligence by making such a claim. The ironic thing is that if you couldn’t comprehend what Israelis have been going through until your interview was interrupted by a missile warning, you’re the one with the problem comprehending what should be obvious to everyone.

What a first for me in my radio career. I was recording an interview with an Israeli man and he had to take a break to go to the bomb shelter because he got a ballistic missile alert. The last thing he said was "I'll be back in ten minutes" as if he had to run to the store. We can't even comprehend what Israelis are living through right now.

@RepMaxineWaters Word on the street is he also assaulted women and teen girls, but I'm sure he was nice while he did it.

Happy #CesarChavezDay! Cesar Chavez was clearly one of the most profound leaders in this country, fighting for the civil rights of farmworkers and joining with other civil rights leaders in fighting for justice for Black people. Cesar Chavez was a giant of a man, with unmatched courage and consistency in the struggle for civil and human rights!

Iran's sun and lion flag has been raised on Iran's embassy in Copenhagen 👇 Several diplomats at the embassy, including the ambassador himself according to some reports, have applied for asylum in Denmark.

@jwludwig You should probably listen to this interview when I publish it. You'll hopefully realize how dumb your above comment is.

Our experience on 911 gives us the ability to comprehend what is happening in Israel today. 911 was the only day of my life where the continental US was under attack. I do not have to experience a terrible car crash to comprehend what a terrible car crash is like. 2,977 Americans perished on 911. How many Israelis have died due to missile/rocket attacks in the last 10 years? I am not minimizing what is happening to Israelis. My daughter did graduate work in Israel and her apartment had bomb shelter qualities. Also, it hasn't been "every day, every week, of every year." There was a lull before October 7 which Israel interpreted as perhaps a change in Hamas's attitude. But ever since October 7, it has been "every day, every week, of every year."

But @GovofCO you didn't DO anything to lower income tax rates, you're just taking credit for the ballot initiatives @i2idotorg ran with ZERO help from you. WE THE PEOPLE lowered rates while your party has made everything infinitely more expensive.

Hey @KyleClark I'm a gay man and lifelong Obama/berniecrat until 2025. I was the proponent on this TWICE! I traveled to every single one of Colorado's 64 counties speaking on this issue. This is not, as you claim, an "evangelical christian" issue. This is not "anti-trans". This is about protecting female's rights to consent, privacy, safety, and equality. It's about protecting sex-based rights, sex-segregated spaces, and children's health and innocence. As a privileged white heterosexual male, I wouldn't expect you to understand why that is so important to protect. You just show your homophobia and misogyny by defending mutilating and sterilizing proto-gay children and allowing boys to rob girls of opportunity.

@jwludwig Now make that every day, every week, of every year.

@MandyConnell Tell me that you have forgotten the morning hours of 9/11.

What Kyle meant to say is that adults are working to protect his daughter's right to have a space free of swinging penises and a boy won't take their place on a sports team. There, I fixed it for you @KyleClark
