So true; the mixed messages are so pervasive, overwhelming, and honestly I've found that they induce so much rage in me. "Do this, if you want to be successful - oh wait, no, we've dismantled that. We'll still keep peddling the rhetoric though, and blaming you for being stupid and lazy."

What's the generation that got EVERYTHING they wanted, and were the first generation to be significantly more wealthy than their parents? The baby boomers.

Projection times. They're the lazy ones, no, not lazy, clueless. Running menial errands like it does anything.
