    Man, my 80 year-old parents, whose only income comes from DoorDash had their car die this week, on top of their furnace and A/C going out.

    And we live in the US, where no one gives a fuck about the elderly.

    So, respectfully, I’m not feeling particularly optimistic. The thousands I’m going to have to spend to keep them alive is going to add years of work before I can retire, and that’s just the reality of living in this shitty, goddamn capitalist hellhole.

    At least like four people will get to be even more disgustingly rich, though. Yay. Vote Biden and Trump, friends.

      I think the point is not “don’t care about bad things happening in your life,” it’s, rather, “don’t get so upset about the bad things happening everywhere else first thing in the morning.”
