This has been my experience. I am pushing 40 and the last few years have beaten the optimism right out of me, and I already thought that was long gone.

I have often wondered if this is what most people have experienced throughout history or if this another fun millennial game we were forced to play. I'm sure every generation has had their stupid trends and societal problems but watching a country collapse under the weight of it's own stupidity seems less common. Not new, but certainly not something every generation deals with.
