      But the rich get to fly to space so it’s all worth it.

      King of Jordan owns 2 Malibu beach front properties among others; China, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Russia owns wide swaths of property and resources but yes it’s the poor working immigrant at the southern border to blame…

    The young, who must determine, pay for and implement the solutions to the existential crises their parents and grandparents willfully created, are now the most unhappy people in the US.

        Do it. You can live perpetually abroad because each stay even without a visa last for months.

        I cannot recommend living abroad enough. If you have a remote job that pays minimum wage, you can live comfortably in a lot of countries, or if you want to be an English teacher temporarily, boy is it easy and profitable to live abroad.

        If that life sounds appealing in any way, I can only recommend flying to another country immediately and can attest that perpetually living abroad is extremely enjoyable. I am doing that right now.

      This is pretty much the way it’s always been, new generation exposes new problems. The really existential horror is when we all give up and stop trying to make the world better than it was left to us.
