    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.

          I get it.

          Once thing we’d probably agree on we’ve let pensions be replaced by inferior programs.

          Everyone should be able to retire. Nobody should have to work till they’re 60
