Remember in the late 70’s, early 80’s, you started to hear that, ‘Leave It To Beaver”, Does not reflect today's values, or lifestyle, is outdated, not relevant ?
 (The show, and many other of the time, taught/showed, family values, and most cases their was a, ‘lesson’ to be learned, in how to treat other people, or differences in other people, or respect in others Ideas, on, and on, and on)
And the, ’Not Relevant’ (and like), got Louder and Louder and Louder !

Who, were the people that said, ’Not Relevant’.  ?  Were they, (progressives/Idealists), so they could get, ’Their’, Ideas, indoctrinated, into the youth.  Instead of, ’Teaching’ the youth, to Think ?

Today, Sitcoms, are showing just about everything.
Lying Cheating, Deceit,  and most of all,  STUPIDLY !!!!!!
        Where is the Outrage  ?

This came to me, while watching the Tennis tournament this morning.
  (Yes I Like Tennis)

Watching the Commercials, showing absolutely completely puzzy snowflake DFI’s !

Two Notable ones:  Pringles, three people, standing about, and put three, (what used to be the junk dust from the machines making potato chips) flavored Pringles together, and all Cried  WOW  We Just made …  (the three were actors, paid to act, the Writer, was the SNOWFLAKE)
Then Car Insurance.  Kid, flat tire, dark, can’t get help on his cell phone, turns to his passenger:  "Do you know what a Lug wrench is”.  Passenger says:  “Da, Well, Yh, Ah, Well, Ah, Maybe”  (in Up-Speak)

          Where Is the Outrage ??????

Have you noticed in tv shows and ads that there is a certain amount of male bashings?
It is the woman or the kids are much smarter than the adult male father.

We have gone from father knows best, to somewhere in between Homer Simpson and Al Bundy.  

Father knows best was a tongue in cheek title, it was mom who knew the score.

 In my county funding is the primary reason why electives such as vehicle maintenance have been removed.  Music and Art also, although there's a potential increase now that the marijuana tax revenues are coming in.  

 With the ease of modern service calls, like pushing a button on your car, or an app on a cellphone there is less need for personal roadside knowledge.  Less need means less distribution of that knowledge, tire changes are similar to canning foods or curing meats.

 A kid in high school today knows there's more money, and more opportunities being the guy that builds the tire-change app than being the guy that changes the tire.

I have seen guys from Mexico (though less educated) be more resourceful.
We have laziness and common sense problem, That is if you can't fix it with Control, Alt, Delete.  
You are up the creek.

Ohhh, look, defeated before you try.

The pioneer spirit is alive and well in the lefty world.

If you are referring to me, I tried just yesterday to loosen the lug nuts on my daughter's Chrysler Town and Country when she got a flat just around the corner from me.(convenient anyway).  Wouldn't budge, the first two I tried.  Forth one the lug nut wasn't the same size, hmmm.  Called AAA and waited an hour.  With power tools and a selection of sockets, he finally managed.  Do you carry WD-40 or penetrating oil in your car?
In this case it still wouldn't have helped..   so please don't go all lefty on me.  I bet you I am the only person on this site who voted for barry goldwater and my views haven't changed too much.

I am a small government,anti war unless you go in to win, not simply to have ongoing was for the war mongers.

Glad you tried.
If you don't Watch them, they Will jam them on.
It's important to be able to solve a problem like that. Plugs , pliers, fix a flat, and I like the little tire service kit Slime sells,
Read the compressor use part.
Knowing what you know you might consider a breaker bar, extension, socket and cheater pipe.
I don't own wd40.
