Oh man I FEEL this deeply.
I was just wondering if it's just me feeling like everything is on a highway to terrible.
- Prices in my city, just this year, have felt like they've jumped 10 or 15 percent.
- I've been working in tech for a decade now and for the first time a new company simply refused to negotiate salary.
- I feel financially worse off than 5 years ago making a third of what I make now.
- Housing prices have exploded. I worry I will never own a home.
- Denmark has started deleting public holidays to save our social welfare state.
- Health care is the worst it's ever been. You can not get basic health diagnostics for most things in Denmark without screaming.
- Europe has a literal war at our doorstep.
- Public transit prices have jumped in the last year.
- Good quality grocery stores have closed and been replaced with discount chains. The quality of the produce is terrible.
- Democracy feels increasingly shittier and hijacked by two extremist poles of very-online meme-thought.
- Gen Z is looking like the most garbage generation of the last two centuries with more mental illness than any generation in history.
- Everything has become a political lightning rod.
I feel exploited by invisible forces I can't see or touch or name. I feel as if I have no mastery over my own life. I no longer know why I continue to contribute to a society that does not give anything back to me for my labor and exploits the best years of my life for taxes that do not improve my lot in life.
Can someone tell me everything is going to get better?
