I made more than that flipping burgers in my early 20s, by working my way up to management (still had to work the grill while running my shift most nights, but Whataburger pays pretty damned good!) I took a paycut to go work on cars for a living.

We must of went to the same school! Pulled this from your other post.
I actually do have the stock bumpers... for now (spring project will be new bumpers front and rear - made by yours truly - 30 years of certified welding better start paying off!
But for now I use the hitch receiver at the rear or the push guard at the front. Even though I have a chain grab from HiLift, the oem bumpers woild just crumple I fear.
Made my own mounting brackets. I hate that not many F150 accessories are available. Like I made a "dead pedal"; what a great thing to have for long drives or off roading. If I want something, I just have to make it myself.

When at work I see coworkers **** the bed and do the wrong thing on an install. These same mother ****ers claim you should never buy foreign. Sorry for my language but you guys who think North American built means anything well I got a surprise for you, there are lazy mother ****ers here at home to.
Sorry for the language but its true.
One thing for sure is I wont buy a China vehicle but they dont sell those here.

Yeah, when I was running construction work (union), whenever the unemployment rate got below about 6% there's a real feeling of "lay me off, I'll have another job tomorrow". Made it hard to strike the right balance, but I'd rather work a short crew than a cancerous employee. Lazy is everywhere, it has no borders or boundaries, except by age I suppose. The (lack of) work ethics of most "Millennials" is nothing short of ghastly! Little 'entitlement' freaks!

Actually, the Jeep Cherokee has been made in China for a very long time now...

Funny thing guy retired not long ago. He told me his worst mistake in life was trying to make up for his parents not giving him much as a child. He gave his kids everything and now he's retired and the ****ers are still living at home off of him lol in their mid 20's to early 30's.

It's your generation that gave to every whim of your children to blame.

But I agree, that the kids' problems started with their parents. The source of the problem doesn't change the outcome. I blame my generation too.
