27 and wouldn’t be a home owner in my lifetime if it wasn’t for the VA Home Loan and the disability benefits after to afford the mortgage. My husband just had to become 100% disabled for the opportunity. Yes everyone, they want us to work until we are dead.

I’m 38 and I’ve been seeing 25 year olds that look older, more tired and haggard than me. This job market and inflation is literally killing these young people, and I won’t be surprised to see horrible later life issues coming for this generation. I’m struggling too but I was lucky enough to get in a union, but younger people are fucked.

(Post) modern life is so empty, it’s so soulless. Society has been deconstructed and we are all now fully atomized, utility maximizing individuals in an endless cycle of earning and consuming. Earn, consume - make money, spend money. Interpersonal relationships, family, community have all become secondary to the earn/consume cycle. We now all only live to serve the endless profit behemoth. Even nature itself is only a tool for profit.

We need to reintegrate back into the natural world and refocus on community and human relationships. We need to prioritize sustainability, health, happiness, and well being for ourselves and future generations over short term individual gains and immediate gratification.

Just grab a snack (Like bugles) and watch the world go by.
