Went to the grocery store this morning
Bread, milk, eggs
$47.63
The screen asked if I'd like to round up to support a children's hospital
I pressed no
The cashier looked at me
The woman behind me looked at me
My wife looked at the ceiling
Again
This company made $14 billion last year
They can round up
Went to get gas after
The pump asked if I'd like to add $1 to support veterans
I support veterans
I pressed no
A $200 billion oil company asking me to fund their charity while I'm paying $3.89 a gallon
That's not philanthropy
That's outsourcing
Drove through for lunch
Taco Bell
The screen said "round up for education?"
A fast food company asking me to fund scholarships while paying their employees $11 an hour
I pressed no
My wife said "you know you're arguing with screens today"
She was right
But the screens started it
Went to the pharmacy
Picked up a prescription
$340 after insurance
The screen asked if I'd like to donate $1 to help families in need
I just paid $340 for a medication that costs $4 to manufacture
And now you want a dollar
I pressed no
The pharmacist said "it's just a dollar"
I said "it's never just a dollar"
She didn't respond
Got home
My wife said "you said no to a children's hospital, veterans, education, and families in need today"
I said "no. I said no to four corporations who want me to fund their goodwill so they can put it in their annual report"
She was quiet
Then she said "you're not wrong"
I said "I know"
She said "but you're still going to look like a monster"
I said "I'd rather look like a monster than quietly fund a billion-dollar company's PR strategy at the register"
She didn't disagree
But she didn't look at me either
Plz fix. Thx.

I DONT KNOW WHO NEEDS TO HEAR THIS, BUT SOUTH KOREANS TOOK 6 HOURS TO STOP THEIR INSURRECTION, 10 DAYS TO IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT BEHIND IT, AND JUST 6 WEEKS TO CONVICT HIM... HE WAS SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON A FEW WEEKS AGO, THEIR STOCK MARKET SHOT UP 10% 🤷 SO YOU SEE AMERICA, IT IS POSSIBLE 🙄

La gente que nació entre 1975 y 1999 pertenece a una generación verdaderamente irrepetible.
No por moda, no por ego… sino por historia vivida.
Nacimos justo entre dos mundos.
Antes de que el internet dominara todo, pero lo suficientemente a tiempo para adaptarnos cuando llegó.
Crecimos sin pantallas táctiles, pero aprendimos a usarlas.
Jugamos en la calle hasta que oscurecía… y luego vimos cómo el mundo se volvía digital.
La generación anterior nos enseñó el valor del esfuerzo, la disciplina, la constancia, el respeto y la palabra.
La siguiente nos mostró el trabajo inteligente, la rapidez, la innovación y la tecnología.
Y nosotros… aprendimos de ambas.
Vimos pasar la historia frente a nuestros ojos:
📻 la radio
📺 la televisión
🎮 Mario Bros
📼 cassettes y VHS
📀 DVD
📱 Nokia
🕹️ Nintendo y PlayStation
🏬 los videoclubs
📲 Netflix, Snapchat
🤖 y ahora la realidad virtual
Somos la generación que recuerda y razona.
Que respeta la tradición, pero no tiene miedo de cuestionarla.
Que piensa antes de creer y analiza antes de seguir.
Los de antes no preguntaban.
Los de después muchas veces no recuerdan de dónde viene todo.
Somos el puente entre la era industrial y la era del internet.
Entendemos ambos lados porque los vivimos, no porque nos los contaron.
Por eso esta generación debería estar moviendo el mundo.
Porque los de antes ya no ven lo que está pasando…
y los que vienen no siempre saben de dónde salió lo que hoy tienen.
Somos la generación que conecta el pasado con el futuro.
Y eso… no se aprende, se vive…
