re: #89 Interesting Times

I’m a Gen-X’er. I find myself envying people your age because you won’t be around to witness the dystopian hell we’ll eventually get stuck with :/

I left that out on purpose. My heart does break for those you who will never understand the meaning of the American Dream. It really was real once. (Now, I’m sounding like King Arthur dying at the end of the Once and Future King). I got a piece of it, especially as a young woman with so many more opportunities than my mother and those women before had, but it started to crater with Reagan. It had a last gasp in the 90s under Clinton, though even then was being terminally strangled.
