Ben Sasse - Interview on NPR this morning

Going to read his book when I get my hands on it

I really, really like Sasse.

I saw him on MTP one morning and was immediately impressed with him, which caused me to read more on him and I only became more impressed.

Kids being raised today are being mostly raised by my generation (millennials). I can tell you that we seem to value experiences and social networks (not just online platforms) over our careers.

My father-in-law who will turn 70 this year is the polar opposite. He never talks about vacations he's taken or places he's been. He doesn't really care. He used to travel to NYC a few times a year for work and describes it as an inconvenience rather than a cool part of his job.

Get him going about his career at AT&T and you'll discover his sense of self-worth. He identifies with what he accomplished going from entry level employee to senior executive. The projects he completed. The colleagues that grew with him in the company. In fact, the company is like a family member itself and not just a source of income.

I rarely hear my peers talking about work. It's all about going out, traveling, adventures, experiences, food. Even those with kids. I know my wife and I are always looking for new places to take our son. New perspectives for him to learn.

If my peers do talk about work, it's very bland or a complaint. Maybe that's the result of entering the economy during a serious recession. Maybe it's cultural.

I'm not saying one is better than the other but older generations definitely value work way more than the current one.

You didn't say whether he was a repub or dem. This information is what I need to know before deciding whether I like him or not.

Sasse is a self serving holier than thou Never Trump cock sucker in the pockets of donors who is still butthurt Trump won instead of his preferred candidate McMuffins.

I thought Trump defunded this liberal mouthpiece?
