To the editor:

A moral and spiritual crisis in the U.S. has created a new norm… bad attitudes of being irresponsible, lazy, childish, undependable, entitled whiners on the job who spend more time on their phones and texting than doing their jobs to earn their paychecks,

Sadly, the mature, caring, responsible, dependable, dedicated, hardworking folks are becoming an extinct breed via retirement and death.

Major attitude adjustments and discipline are much-needed for the U.S. to be productive once again.

Grow up, America — stop whining and contribute in a positive, productive manner. If living in the U.S. is so bad, hop a plane for wherever permanently.

Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude of success in life!
