All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
All in all I am not entirely in agreement with the contents of the article. It's not nearly as bad as they are trying to make it sound. Yeah, there are some skills that are less important today than 100 years ago. But the same is true of every era. At one time you needed to know how to properly fill your oil lamps, trim the wicks, etc. These days that is no longer a necessity. At one time you needed to shake out the ashes, dislodge the klinkers, and stoke the furnace with coal or your house went cold. These days you simply adjust the thermostat.
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.

Hello.
What if we had a major solar event?
Satellites would fail, no ifs or butts about it.
Now, been to a gas station lately? or WalMart? all have a dish on the roof used for everything from in store music to transactions.
Even the cellphone towers have 2 antennas and a dish pointed skyward.
All of a sudden commerce and communications come to a standstill.
Within a few hours nearly everything will quit.
All without a shot being fired, a natural event that just a few years ago would have been a minor problem.
Yes, a CME would ruin everyones day.

Y indeed.
Don't come into my business wanting a job if one of your hands already has the job of holding up your drawers.
I'd need both your damn hands, shiny, GTFO and GTFaway.

I blame soccer moms...the ones driving their big-ass SUV's while yakking on their cell phones and drinking the burnt crap from Tarbutts.
From the link:
Yo....stupid bitch it's YOUR fault...but you probably believe you fart rose petals and your shit don't stink. Fugedabbout it. YOU'RE the reason your kids are clueless!!!Susan Maushart, a mother of three, says her teenage daughter "literally does not know how to use a can opener. Most cans come with pull-tops these days. I see her reaching for a can that requires a can opener, and her shoulders slump and she goes for something else."

If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.
