I dont mean to turn this into one of those arguments where fight over whether they are a millienial or gen-xer.. But I do recall recentley seeing someone in that age range, posting a message
"Born just in time to see the end of the fuck around days, and entered adulthood just in time to live the rest of my life in the find out time"
🎶UH OH UH OH, EVACUATE THE TRADE FLOOR UH OH UH OH IT'S INFECTED BY THE CLOWN UH OH UH OH STOP THESE TARIFFS ARE KILLING ME HEY MR ORANGE MAN FUCK OFF AND DIE🎵
In my head set to https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=FrGiD2yompY
Also fuck the stock market anyway
I don't remember a once-in-a-generation economic crisis in 2002... I remember the dotcom bust and my dad watching his retirement evaporate in 2000...
But not at the taco bell.
Limits to planetary growth
i'd chime in with a "havent you people ever heard of class consciousness"
its much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I was just thinking about this today when I was out for a run.
It's similar to how we keep getting record temperatures year on year.
I think something isn't working as intended
Nobody born after 1985 has ever experienced 'average temperatures'.
This was a news article from 2015. Since then nearly every year has set a record for being the warmest ever recorded.
We've had a decade of pumping more money into the money machine while our ecology falls apart around us.
I was born in 1985. Not a coincidence. I'm trying to tone it down, but it just. won't. stop.
Meanwhile oil demand keeps growing. That's what gets me.
Side rant: I fucking hate the phrase "unseasonably warm/cold".
It gives the impression of a one off aberration that will go back to normal. We haven't had a normal season in decades, maybe we should just admit we broke the seasons instead of tiptoeing around it.
its snowing in my part of canada, it snowed last night, it snowed 2 days last week. time of posting, its april
my boss said "we're kidding ourselves if we think this isnt normal"
he's been right on that for the last 2 decades almost
The system isn't broken; it's working exactly as intended.
2012 (kinda continuation of 2008) is missing
