RIP David Brooks

This article is one extended fart noise but right before I could take it no more:

it’s not just the institution of marriage they’re eschewing: In 2004, 33 percent of Americans ages 18 to 34 were living without a romantic partner, according to the General Social Survey; by 2018, that number was up to 51 percent.

Oh my god the video

It’s a parody video THAT ISN’T

This morning I'm spending time being mad that any woman with David Brooks' teeth would never had made it to television, even PBS.

aww, david looks so happy to be giving his daughter away at her wedding!

*thirty seconds pass*

oh god david what are you doing? david, noooooo!

i hate you so muchg right now

he's a dumbass throughout, and it does seem to almost veer into "i'm going to ask my millennial wife to open up our marriage", but.............................. this isn't the worst column

he's just, as always, unimaginative and far too nostalgic when he tries to think of alternatives (charity and apps!)

For instance, might I recommend leaving your wife for your young research assistant https://t.co/LA29D50kSU

Read about "the Bernie lens" in today's column

I actually was going to post that column this morning. I'd even typed out a whole rant about it, then I decided to delete it and get on with my day.

Anyway, I agree with the first two-thirds of the column -- Bernie will likely win the nomination because he has a clear message! -- but then he totally undercuts his point in the last third with bad-faith reasoning and centrist pablum.

Eventually Brooks will see that the waters around him have grown and that sooner or later, he’ll be drenched the bone. His old world is rapidly fading.

Seriously if american upper classes weren’t so fucking greedy they wouldn’t have had this problem. But the myth of equitable growth is only tenable when people can afford to live.

The intellectual decline of the GOP is astonishing, especially when your remember how different it was just 15 or 20 years ago. https://t.co/HeNz6rjhKy

i saw a tweet with that beside another brooks column from 2004 saying pretty much exactly the same thing

those neocon intellectuals and their sterling record

can’t fault their consistency

Friedmanesque conservatism all sounded so brilliant to Brooks during those dorm room bull sessions at U. of Chicago, and Wm. F. Buckley's eyes seemed to twinkle so charmingly on PBS.

how you like them freedom fries

david brooks should be force fed copies of perlstein's books

this fkn guy

Excellence is not an action, it’s a habit. Tenacity is doing what you were trained to do. It manifests in those whose training embraced hardship and taught students to deal with it. https://t.co/NBRJ8I8w8M

excited to read about the hardships he’s overcome

he just HAD to release this on national h*rny day

That’s literally not what tenacity means

Excellence also neither an action or a habit. IT’S LIKE HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT WORDS

22 million americans out of work and this fatuous oaf still has a steady paycheck

he’s paraphrasing a popular motivational dictum that’s almost always misattributed to aristotle

but yeah fuck this guy and his soft, soft hands

it is his mind that is smoothest

What if this asshole lives to be like 108 or something

Surely someone on this board will outlive him and can light a votive for all the fallen ilxors on his passing

is david brooks… is david brooks the dad from calvin and hobbes pic.twitter.com/1roivrS5x0

I thought this said RIP Garth Brooks and I felt something for a moment

Panic that you might not ever hear Chris Gaines' sophomore record?

the thunder rolled

could have had a friend in even lower places

dang he really is dead

by marrying them https://t.co/MmFBQVGJ02

I'm sure David Brooks' life is overflowing with hardships that he is busily being the lord and master of.

Alley oop

If David Brooks hates millennials so much then why did he marry one

David and Sarah were bounded in a marital relationship for more than two decades, and they successfully share three children. Their oldest son serves in the Israel Defense Forces and is planning to go into law enforcement in the United States. While his older daughter is playing for Anaheim Ducks which is a professional ice hockey team based in Anaheim, California. The information regarding his children are still missing due to his privacy making policy hasn't leaked his personal information to any media.

Net Worth of David Brooks
David has an estimated net worth of $5 Million, however, it hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but, surely, his wealth is in a very good figure. Other personalities like Kate Norley and Stephanie Ruhle has the same amount of wealth. Being one of the greatest workers in the United States, he surely earns a good amount of remuneration.

it's true though, he surely does earn a good amount of remuneration
