We’re currently facing the reality and consequences of 40 years of horrid policy choices. Choices most of us younger Americans had no say in. Politicians are Uber powerful and they simply do not care. We are crying out for help and politicians don’t care at all. They’ve got billionaires paying them to keep them in line and we’re all paying for it. We work till we drop and it’s now still not enough for many of us to afford homes. Healthcare and benefits are garbage. Public pensions in many states are bankrupt. Education is suffering. Infrastructure is garbage. And we see billionaires and the rich do everything they can to steal from us. We have our rights being eroded by a corrupt scotus. It makes it really hard to want to engage in patriotism when we don’t even have hope.
