Seasons Fleetings

Are your parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents and your cousins going to be visiting this holiday season? Are you dreading it? Do you feel nauseous? Oh, word. Samesies! Yeah I've been there in fact I'm still there. I just want to address a few things about that. Here are some topics you can mention when ol' Aunt Clara grimaces at your answer to her, "what's going on with your life" questions. Tell her what's going on with the country! She might think you're really smart and be enlightened or she might just further her frowning. At that point just pour her another glass of wine. She can join the rest of us depressive masses drinking our years away after discussing our fleeting freedoms.

Enough of your "back in my day" rantings. You know damn well  previous generations were gifted with a more straightforward path to economic success.  Now you have to jump through bureaucratic flaming hoops to get a degree, and if you happen to Indiana Jones your way out of Starbucks and through the narrow crevice that leads to Good Job Landia, there is no guarantee it'll last when you watch your job get outsourced or become obsolete in a few years.  Not to mention drastic inflation, and increasing expenses, insurance and taxes. The only jobs that offer healthcare tend to be government jobs, which are so tedious to land when at first they lie and promise all you need is your worthless high school diploma, they then explore your identity and drug test you and if you can't qualify for the fire department or police force, you'll be stuck doing menial low paying jobs unless you seriously hit the books and become a business owner or entrepreneur which they've also made nearly impossible to qualify for and if you do then you'll be shook down in tax money, insurance and jacked up rent money.

Throw in fast paced ever-changing technology, automated services, robots and kiosks, licensing, permissions, registrations, worthless college degrees you stay in debt for thousands of dollars and years for, the constant presence of terrorism, endless pressure and stress to do better but can't because it all takes time and money you don't have added to the pressure and stress to procreate and bring more mouths to feed into the world. I know! Let's all join the military and carry out dirty deeds ordered by the mysterious agenda of the military industrial complex. Its all a crap shoot.

Thanks for overseeing a Keynesian system of economics and the degeneration of moral and cultural standards so that the next generation are debt slaves with poor job prospects and surrounded by foolish communists and subservient institutions. Thanks for a rotting education system. Thanks for telling everybody else to take responsibility for their actions and then not follow your own advice. "Do as I say and not as I do," right?

Maybe we are the most whiny wet blankets of our time, but even you know, as home owners, that having property in the U.S. is an illusion since you have to pay massah guv'mint an annual fee to keep your house or it'll send jack-booted thugs with badges and guns to imprison or execute you. 

Brought to you by a lazy piece of shit millennial constantly being asked about my life and occupation. Merry Christmas!
