My heart goes out to you. The climate extremes are going to make that even worse. The only comfort i get is when the head of Security for the rich in their bunkers they have built to ride out social collapse. Tosses them out on their ass and take over the bunker. Cause their money no longer means anything. How sad is that?
If you don’t count any system that is predicated on the degree of exploited labor (underpaid/overworked, child labor, and slavery) Then yeah, a functioning economic system hasn’t ever been seen in U.S. history… not really compatible as there will always be exploited labor under capitalism.
The 20th century saw the myth of the “Middle Class” take hold and for a while, a handful of people were convinced they were higher up on the totem pole over other workers. We are just seeing things returning to the status quo of before then.
Gen X: Entering into adulthood expecting the best, gets fucked by low paying jobs & runaway housing
and healthcare costs
Millennials: Entering into adulthood with some worries but paid all that money for college to prevent getting fucked by all that stuff Gen X got fucked by, gets fucked by all that stuff + student loans
Zoomers: Entering into adulthood with record anxiety and depression, no idea what strategy they are going to try to use to avoid all this but I hope it’s eat the rich

I do not save memes often, but this one cracked me up. That’s goin’ in the archive.

Is that a cassette?
I think in the show it was an 8-track tape but I have a shitty memory and only watched it once.
It’s a cassette, but he’s referring to the musician being before his time
it wasnt really functioning though…

I think the JPG compression economy is having some issues also. This poor meme looks like it’s a generation old by the wrinkles all over it.
It’s part of its charm
Do I look like I know what a jpg is?
When you make memes from the 540p copies you pirated from bumtorrents
Thanks now I’m depressed as Gen X this also before my time.
