    Don’t forget a looming climate crisis. We have that to look forward to, potentially with societal collapse in the next 50 years due to it, and our oil supply running out.

      That’s also been something of a recurring theme. Environmental disaster is always 30-50 years out.

      Granted, it is definitely getting worse, and accelerating. But, for whatever reason, the historic estimates given for drastic climate events, like glaciers completely melting, has always been ~30 years.

        I’ve been to glaciers that have receded to like 10% of their original glacial ice a 100 years ago. You have no idea what you’re talking about. The climate is breaking down right before your eyes, and all you have to say is been there done that… No wonder we’re fucked.

          That’s not all I’ve said, at all. You’re flying off the handle irrationally.

            Maybe we’re allowed to be fucking irrational when everything is on fire and you can’t “hard work your way out of a shit life” anymore.

            If I make more money, inflation just sets me right the fuck back to where I was. There is no ladder it’s a fucking treadmill.
