      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.

          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.
