We are living in a country that has betrayed us. Middle and working class people have been abandoned and maligned, and it’s exhausting.

For younger adults than myself, and most of gen Z, I cannot think of a single national-election in recent memory I’d describe as “inspiring”. “Terrifying” or “sad” maybe but not inspiring.

I know I'm showing my whole age here but remember that thrill of getting a mixtape from someone? A mix of music that they made just for you?

I hesitate to recommend higher education at all. Chances are college will mess up your life and make it much worse, especially if you grew up low-income, or with no safety net. In the end it could be a valuable investment but please please make the decision very carefully and make a plan.

Are you absurdly rich and powerful? Are you frustrated by moderators? Got a spare several billion lying around? Buy a social media platform. It’s all the rage.

Simply put, AI data farms do not substantially improve the lives of people who need it. All they do is concentrate wealth further, sequester resources, and set us up for a devastating crash when the bubble finally pops.

There is too much of a high premium for being inappropriately confident; for bravado based in ignorance. Give me leaders who are cautious, sensitive to those around them, and well-informed.

They want us to believe that our struggle is our fault, that we haven’t picked up enough extra shifts or been diligent or buckled down sufficiently. They are wrong.

Too much of tech innovation has been thinly-disguised money sinks (NFTs), mechanisms that aid gamblers to lose it all (crypto), and shortcuts so people don’t have to think critically and do their own work (AI)

Millennials have been stomped all over for decades. We are all trapped in a recession-survivor scarcity mentality, crippled by world events, hopelessly locked out of the housing market, traumatized death spiral. No cap.
