I honestly kind of hate that I grew up in the 90s... Born mid 80s and was old enough in the 90s to have my childhood engrained with this idea that the future was all progress from there on out. Then the 2000s come along with a big ol' middle finger and it's just been fascists all the way down and economic decline from there. :/
Same shit here.
I am the same age as you and I feel you.
But then again, I guess it's up to us to make a contribution to a better world (like the one from our childhood imagintations).
Nothing comes easy.
Not economic decline; spiraling inequality. Which is even worse, in some important ways.
That is economic decline. That someone's line goes up in all relative units on a graph doesn't mean it's growth.
