I’m responding to the thread. Decline is mentioned a few posts up. Regardless of all the bad things you list, I would still prefer to live in 2022 than 1982 because I believe those bad things are stated hyperbolically and where there are genuine negatives they are more than compensated for by other factors. Are things perfect? No, let’s keep working on this and make 2062 even better.

- jl6 5y agoWhat’s your plan?
- nawgz 5y agoOriginally, my plan was to earn enough to secure a house & future as a working person, and then try to join politic and change the discourse. Now, my plan is to accept that even with a good salary securing a future at good QOL costs a lifetime, so I will try to enjoy myself and hopefully buy a home that doesn't get burnt down in the increasingly frequent and devastating forest fires of my native home. Hooray for 2022!
