Not sure how else I can say it. Fucking no person I’ve talked to is ever going to retire, own a house or even have the slightest prospect of a fulfilled life. There is a LinkedIn/business side to America where people are doing the whole nuclear family song and dance while regurgitating corporate jargon and turning into soulless drones (upper middle class and beyond) AND there is the extremely powerless and disorganized service working class (many whom have died from COVID).
I said to myself for the longest time that I’m just extremely online and shit isn’t that bad, but nah shit is more than that bad. I haven’t even touched on the incoming climate crisis or the genocide happening in Gaza.

I’m glad you posted this. I feel a bit less bad about my own feelings.
The worst about this is that we’re toxic waste to older relatives. Like, “sorry I wasn’t born in 1970”. There’s only a tiny sliver under 30s doing well in my family, and everything seems to rotate around them and their kids.
Due to medical expenses and not having access to therapy for my severe depression I kinda missed my shot at having any independence or moving out when I was younger, and now I’m trying to figure out moving out of state entirely just to find a place I can afford to live on my own. California is fucked.
