Economic issues always come down to economic incentives. You care about property values because your home is an investment. You care about stocks because you have a retirement plan. You care about not being a burden on your children when you’re old and having inheritance to leave behind when you die. You care about crime because you have things to steal and a life to lose.
I don’t have property. I will never retire. I will never have children. I am nothing and no one and that will never change.
When I was younger I was a pretty typical liberal. By 30 I was a Marxist-Leninist and desired nothing but the complete destruction of the demon shithole country called Amerikkka. 😘
No offense, but it seems pretty naive to say things will get better. I try not to jump on conservatives when they are willing to engage, but that’s a pretty rough take.
Industrial production, mostly with simple hand tools and feeding steel parts into welders and presses.
It’s so fucking hot. It’s so fucking hard. I’m so fucking tired. Everyday forever until I’m too old too work, and then I’ll take out a 9mm retirement plan.
Replacing pensions with 401k was a stroke of genius for the ruling class. Now every worker is invested in the stock market and is forced to pray to the money line so they can retire, which means they vote for whatever party promises the most economic growth. Truly masterclass.

I hope you find some comfort one day.

I am a machine that exists to create value for my boss. I’ll never doubt that.

Half the country doesn’t believe that climate change is real. If things were to get better, it would have to start with that group first.

Optimism is for older generations, who lived the before times when life got better year-after-year.
That has never happened in my entire life.
