Soon it will be 3 financial recessions...
Odd not to include the 2008 or COVID crashes.
I just put dogs in my ass. You don't have to think about it, it just happens to you then you bow right into the an other net gone rightly to ir.
As a millennial, these posts are cringe af.
I'm just glad that I wasn't born in 1890. A world war, then the great depression, then another world war.
Gen X had Reagan and LA Riots and the .com bubble burst and Gulf War and Waco and Columbine in addition.
We are ready to die, thank you I must be going. Sorry

Same picture when they realize Zuckerberg is one of their own?
I had a friend tell me - you don't get to pick your place in history, but there's always something worthwhile to observe. Most people don't live through the end of an empire, social decay, and ultimately... well, we know this won't end well. But there's something deeply romantic about being part of the resistance - I mean hell look at how much art is made about that.
Now obviously you have to ignore some things like how you can't afford groceries and your life expectancy is going down (you're already unable to afford rich people medical care, which is now diverging from the rest of us). But it's really nothing compared to any historical turbulence like this. We aren't in famine. Our life expectancy is way UP since then.
I can't change any of this (beyond the serious community organizing I'm doing anyway) so looking at different perspectives is the only way to stay sane.
The climate catastrophe will wipe it all away. Tabula Rasa. At least I'm not worried about retirement any more.
