    Because Amerika is a failing state, held hostage by malevolent robber barons. Rather than invest in infrastructure, in social programs to remove empty houses from the grip of real estate companies using them as betting chips, or in our own people to give dignified, well-paying jobs to everyone that we might actually survive and have a life, rather than having the schedule that all of us in employment are expected to lockstep with or risk homelessness, our country invests in genocide; in drones, in warheads, in purveying mass murder upon sovereign territories.

    Our country invests in corporate spyware to make sure you’re dutifully pumping up the zeroes in some other peckerwood’s bank account rather than your own; and that’s when it allows WFH because most bosses regardless of field or function are feudal monsters who want to physically SEE everybody they’ve got their thumb on. Our country invests in spying on its own people, at work, or at play.

    No one should be surprised Amerikans are necking themselves at record rates; it’s a direct reflection of the regime and the climate the country lives under. Things won’t get better until the liberals can admit what everyone with an actual political education have known for years, then actually iterate upon that list of wrongs… Which will never happen. Death to Amerika; it’s only getting faster.

    Young adults are robbed of the American Dream: that if they work hard they can get ahead and live decently.

    Seeing a future with little to no prospects, well, how is this outcome surprising?

    In a world where certain questions can’t be asked, it’s no wonder there are no clear answers. The elephant in the room is capitalism, but mentioning it is a taboo. It’s like trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces or painting a picture without the right colors. Without acknowledging the root cause of many issues, we’re left grasping at straws, hoping for a solution that may never come.
