I was born in the 80s. So I got to see "the peak" of everything come tumbling down, right around I became an adult.

There was a time that hard work could pay off, I've seent it. That's the worse. To know that things can be better, has been but was snatched away before I had a chance to start the fucking game. I'm not smart enough to "learn 2 code" I've fucking tried.

I've already sacrificed a lot, I had to reboot my life from scratch three times already. I'm too fucking old to just "try again", and I refuse to live in a tent or my car. That's not living that's survival and what is the point of that, so the billionaires can leech off my labor a few more years til health problems or a crazy person takes me out? Fuck everything about that shit.
