how this shit show has not yet fallen apart is a mystery to me 🤷♀️
fingers crossed it’s close 🤗🤗
It is currently falling apart right in front of our eyes.
Yeah, it’s kind of amazing that US hasn’t collapsed under its own weight yet.
There are millions of people who spend their lives and careers trying to make things better, trying to fix things as they break, and effectively working around systemic failures. Despite how critically flawed many of our systems are they are not as flimsy as they appear because the good people just doing their best to hold everything together are succeeding. That’s inspiring to me.
If things fall apart history shows us that greater suffering is an absolute certainty. Please, don’t wish that on me or anyone else. Things need to change, but collapse and destruction are the ugliest options for change.
I’m thinking of getting a van and decking it out with nice stuff. I could afford rent, living with my parents right now but I have a good job. Not to sound capitalist, but buying a decent van and fixing it up adds value to it, should I ever have to sell it. An apartment would be a black hole of money to a landlord with no value added.
If enough people start doing this, they’ll find ways to rent-seek on your van. Like parking fees that cost you more per year than the van was worth.
this needs to change soon, lot’s of people around me want to move to the countryside for a “better life”
We know
Can I pencil you in sometime before the heat death of the universe for actually fucking doing something about it then?
Even worse when you live in a high cost of living state or area. 🙃 Recently I went over my monthly expenses and man can things blow up if not monitored frequently. Did not know most of us die in debt, not really surprising but still ridiculous.
