I'm on my second generation of doing literally everything right. My grandfather and his father before him etc all the way back to antiquity were dirt poor alcoholic abusive dirt farmers and my old man bucked that ancestral trend to catapult us into the middle class, worked his hands to nonfunction 16-20 hour days to make sure I got every opportunity I could have and I took them. I was the first in my bloodline to attend college.... during the 2008 recession. I was the first in my bloodline to work at a desk, to make a salary, to work with my mind instead of my hands

it means fucking nothing because my 6 figure "made it" job got shat upon because some dipshit "sixth CEO in 5 years" took venture capital money and blew it on half baked AI worker replacements and executive bonuses.

I can do more things that are of value to society than you can comprehend. I can rebuild motors and transmissions, I can build and maintain houses, I can maintain billion dollar datacenter infrastructure, I'm a mycologist and a pretty good farmer, I can cook better than your mother and it all means nothing because unless I want to live like a third world faveloid off $20 an hour in the richest nation on the planet none of those things will pay the bills because a foreign invader will do it for dirt cheap while they leech taxpayer resources. I am in my mid 30s and I will likely never own a home because my ability to earn money literally cannot outpace the inflation in the housing market. Unironically my best bet to have a child is to stay unemployed and knock up my girlfriend out of wedlock so we can leech off the system and live a subsistence life just like my grandfather and all of his fathers before him because if I try to do it right, I'll be 50 and never see my kids graduate high school

Fuck yourself.
