Appreciating American Exceptionalism | Mike Rowe

I am a female cross country truck driver. I deliver food across America and I did NOT stay home during covid. When the meat packing plants closed due to hundreds getting covid, i kept trucking along. Something is going to kill me some day. Until then, I will be supporting America.❤

I am unequivocally proud and grateful to be an American.

Who else thinks Mike Rowe should become the head of the Department of Labor?

Mike Rowe: the epitome of common sense

Mike Rowe is an American treasure!

Whatever you practice regularly you will get good at! I tell my children this constantly.

We are no longer held accountable for our actions, even as a tradesmen for 40 years. I deal with people that have more excuses for why they fail or can’t do something then. OK, let me try or yeah that was me. I’ll fix it.

When asked, my daughter (18) told me that no, she didn't believe you could accomplish anything in America if you were born a certain way. I was shocked. I grew up so poor that we ate gravy biscuits all 3 meals for 2 months straight. Ate solely potatoes for weeks, once. No indoor plumbing until I was 9, and this was the 90s. Now, my kids are spoiled. My house is full of junk, like x boxes, phones, and tvs. We regularly go on vacation. My first (and only) vacation was at age 9. It's like the line in that song, "Daddy Wasn't a Cadillac Man. "The more you give them, the more they want." I truly believe the internet has ruined society. It's allowed ignorant voices to spread their word and gullible people to implement it. God have mercy on our country.

Mike Rowe is legend. He has profoundly influenced me. Gratitude and hard work and common sense is where it’s at.

A friend of mine is a Mason (works in stone). He is apprenticing his grandson. WONDERFUL. It still exists! The skill is in high in demand.
