      Shit yeah man. I’m like $15,000 in the hole because of COVID, having to care for an elderly parent, and having my own medical crisis. And that’s after insurance! 😭

        American millennials are a whole different game. I’m a pampered European social democrat. Saw the election results from New York and thought: “Good for them… He’s a bit on the conservative side by our standards, but a step in the right direction”. 😆

      IDK. If it wasn’t for my chronic health issues, I could at least have had a pretty decent career until now, and I definitely benefited from times when social security wasn’t completely eroded yet and housing prices were still affordable. And I actually remember times when you didn’t have to wait over half a year for a doctor’s appointment (not that they were much use for any of my issues…).

      If you become an adult now you have even less of a chance.
