I don’t really understand exactly why I feel so angry at the moment. I feel like I’ve been cheated. I’ve done everything right and I still find myself hurting. I got good grades in high school, I graduated with a 3.50 GPA from college, and tried to get good long-term work. Instead, I’ve spent my entire professional life working on short term IT contracts or passed over for employment that I’ve been fully qualified for. Now I am 49 and feel washed up. To be fair, age discrimination is a real thing for people over 40. I am so sick of the worry and stress. Since Corporate America largely deems me unfit for employment, the best I can do for employment is work as a security guard. Capitalism tells me I should be grateful to have employment at all.
The finance bros will tell you to eat less avocado toast and drink less Starbucks. They live in a world very divorced from reality. I make 2.00 per hour over the minimum wage in my state. My state does not follow the federal minimum wage standard, instead setting it at 15.00 per hour. This barely puts food on the table and doesn’t pay rent in my market.
Now fucking Trump wants to start World War III and is probably plotting invasion of Greenland as we speak. It can no longer be dismissed as hyperbole. I believe the crazy fuck is honestly hell bent on Greenland and the poor and working class will suffer immensely on this foolhardy venture. I hope Europe strikes back. I hope that myself and Denisse can be refugees somewhere in Europe. As the United States becomes Gilead, frightening times are ahead.
I don’t get the point of even trying. Maybe the US needs a reboot brought on by a Europe united against us. I am actually praying for a European invasion of America to liberate it from Fascism. I want to watch Hegseth, Trump, and RFK Jr. hung by their balls in a town square somewhere. I want to watch Kristi Noem hauled in front of the UN to answer for her crimes against humanity. When these things happen, I will be able to breathe a sigh of relief if I am not already dead yet. I can only hope Europe rescues us. We’re not all bad people. The poor and working classes are the victims. We need to wipe out the billionaire class completely.
America is now pas the point of simply end stage capitalism. We are now at the end stage of the so-called “Great Democratic Experiment.” Very soon I will no longer be able to write this and I expect I may be branded as a terrorist for my own musings. I used to not care so much but I’m no longer living for myself. I’ve got a beautiful woman who cares for me deeply. I am a shit provider to her and I can barely take care of myself. I don’t know what the next step is. I guess I hustle until I die.
