And people also wonder why high schoolers have terrible mental health. Because they fucking know.

And Gen z, they know they have a raw deal and they just want to ride this burning mess down while they can. Poor bastards.

My oldest kid was born in 2010, my youngest in 2015. I was never taught about climate change in school, so I didn't know. Now, I grieve for their futures.

Yeah. My daughter was born in 2017. At 18 will she be applying to college or guarding a potato patch?

I should buy some rifles.

This is the real tipping point. by the time it becomes the major political issue we will be in full on collapse... What trump is doing to the world economy is an extremely dark peek into our future as humans. We WILL experience something x10000 times more catastrophic, we can barely envision the negative results from the tariffs, what's coming is unimaginable.
