Over loaded pickup

Common sense seems to be going out the window in this country. Young people seem to be the most clueless. They have never taken shop class, they can't change a tire.

I remember a conversation with a guy that works for the State Parks Dept. He said he could find people that have a good understanding of natural resources, but they have no mechanical knowledge at all. They tear up the equipment like ATVs, they get stuck all the time. They always need help.

This was happening at my fire department, in my last few years.
Firefighters HAVE to be mechanically inclined but this younger generation often has never heard of "rightly tightly, lefty loosey". They have trouble figuring out how to attach a supply hose to a hydrant or discharge on the engine. And forget anything with its own engine. It took forever, to teach many of them, how to operate anything mechanical.
Of course, many didn't make through the academy or probation thankfully.
