four corners tonight punch drunk, page-54

Hi pierogi.

When people live in stressful conditions with less hope of a better future, many get angry.


Most is self inflicted falling for "buy now, pay later.'

My father told me, "Buy what you can afford to use, not what you can afford to have."

Today they want everything now which they really can't afford if things go wrong.

I blame Governments for first home buyer grants.

I blame banks for stitching them up.

I blame their parents for not teaching them the qualities of delayed gratification over impulsive instant gratification that banks and business are pushing today.

Hence the stress you talk about.

Wasting money on alcohol is not the answer.
Instant gratification (drunk)fixes nothing long term.

"Don't buy anything that depreciates that you pay interest on."

Being drunk is no excuse for their behaviour.It was their decision to get drunk in the first place.

Thank heavens these punch drunk are not the majority.

There are a lot of well balanced youths today, but you don't see THEM on TV.

cheers,
