I originally wanted a point/diamond end bowtie, but this tie was just too beautiful to say no, I do now have figure out what to wear it with and practice my bow tie tying skills.

Ok, I am completely flabbergasted. I was talking to some guy at the conference where I am during the reception at the end of the day and was talking about the Society and the vision behind this movement. This guy actually said that things were better now that guys weren't gentlemanly. He was saying that we should not dress well or have good manners. I almost didn't know what to say. There was a lady next to me that seems that she was shocked also. He was also talking about toxic masculinity and he son's friends being trans and stuff like that so I guess it's not too surprising.

I hear many Europeans denigrate America due to misunderstanding, naivete and ignorance. The difference is Capitalism vs Socialism. It's Opportunity vs Security. In America we work for what we want. Here we can work overtime or have more than one job. Progressive Leftist people don't want to work, they want everything to be provided by the government. With such, in a nanny state, there's no need for ambition or work. Even showing up isn't required. Is socialized health care superior? Not hardly. I know that from experience And observation. How many Americans are beating down the door to live anywhere in Europe? Why does the people from around the world try to get here, legally or illegally? The only population I see moving into Europe are Muslims and Mideasterners. They don't assimilate or contribute. They want to replicate their culture, or lack there of. Europe is beautiful. Loaded with history. But European culture is evaporating as we watch. Although I can never be described as wealthy, I do have a wonderful life and retirement that I Worked for. I earned my military pension. I suffered to earn my military Disability. I Paid into Social Security for 50 years. As a result I live comfortably in a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house on 3/4 of an acre in a gated and guarded community. I eat very well and don't have to worry that I can't afford my groceries or utilities. Most of my life I worked more than one job. I've been an entrepreneur because I had the freedom and opportunity to do so. I could Never sacrifice my opportunity for security. Intelligent comments are Very welcome. Thanks.
