Last week, a billionaire gave the commencement speech at Morehouse College. In many such occasions, the speaker, usually successful and no societal slouch, are bestowed with an honorary Doctorate. During the speech Smith, an investment firm wizard announced hw was developing a grant that would pay off the 2019 graduating class\u2019s student loan debt. Estimates put this gift around $40 million.<\/p>\n
And the millennial flood gates were opened.<\/p>\n
Shortly after this, media mogul and millionaire herself, Oprah Winfrey gave a commencement speech at a college. She handed out copies of her new book to all the students. She was immediately set upon by one millennial asking why she gave a book and didn\u2019t pay off all those kid\u2019s student debt.<\/p>\n
And right there, folks, is the me generation in all of their loving socialist ways. One person, mad a $40 million move. So, the standard is now set. Everyone else has to top that. It is sort of like all of these idiot Democrat candidates. Everyday one of them pipes off with something further left than their competition. Is there a wall on the left somewhere that even they can\u2019t go left of? I\u2019m thinking not.<\/p>\n
Oprah responded though only weakly. She defended her previous philanthropic work at Morehouse (she has donated $13 million for scholarships\u2014a preemptive strike against student loan debt). She didn\u2019t mention how arrogantly assumptive the complainer was. So, you can bet no lesson was learned.<\/p>\n
If you give a millennial mouse a cookie, he\u2019s gonna want a glass of milk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
