I'm so scared for my future, man. I just want to have a comfortable life with my partner doomjak

In order to grow pollinator gardens, I must first become Chinese. Otherwise I can grow roses for the rich, corn for cows for the rich, or starve while working three gig jobs feeding the rich.

corn for cows for the rich

i'm sure you already know (and hate, so much) but for everyone else, jfc I just learned the other day like 99% of all corn grown in this fucked to death corn growing country isn't even like food corn, it's industrial corn for starch and animal feed and shit

I thought we just grew so much food corn that it was cheaper to feed it to cows than grass

I feel like my partner and I would have a comfortable life if everything hadn't just constantly gotten worse around us in real time, it's like 100 steps forward 99 steps back and I'll be dead before I have even a tenth of the security my parents had

Really is the common feeling of everyone Millenial and younger I think. Maybe the oldest Millenials didn't have this malaise hanging over their lives, but it's always felt like I'm jogging as hard as I can on a treadmill and just keep slowly moving backwards no matter what I do.
