Ticked off! @young Americans

-

I am ticked off that young Americans are so disrespect­ful toward the elderly! The elderly are considered wise and revered in other countries and cultures! Only in America are the elderly treated like garbage! I find it offensive that Americans believe that all elderly persons who reach retirement age should be locked away in a convalesce­nt center! Everyone gets old eventually! Be careful what you wish for because one day you may be discarded in a convalesce­nt center!

I’m ticked off that there is no ice cream available at the McDonald’s for at least 80% of the time. Seems like maybe they should change their system to be able to provide ice cream on a daily basis. For such a large company, that seems very strange to me. Oh, well, at least Arby’s machines work.

There are pet owners who lavish love on spoiled animals, I agree with the ticked off writer about that. However, there are cruel owners who keep pets chained up day and night. Someone in my neighborho­od did that. The dog was fed and watered but never unchained to roll in the dirt, walk, run or do anything that dogs need to do. The “Mutts” creator, I think was reminding us that pets are sometimes mistreated. And there are still compassion­ate people, children included, who care enough to help.

Iamso ticked off at the OCSO, for ignoring a huge potential source of revenue for Orange County! North Econ Trail north of University Boulevard sees at least 50-100 speeders every single day. Maybe even more. The speed limit is 25 miles an hour and every vehicle that passes my house is exceeding that by a whole lot! Come on guys and girls here’s your opportunit­y to write a whole lotta very lucrative, speeding tickets.

The flip side

I am disabled and cannot walk easily. Thank you to the stores who provide pickup spaces for Instacart and other services. It is much appreciate­d.
