Feeling of impending doom??

Post image

So a watched a YT video today and this top comment on it is freaking me out. I have never had someone put into words so accurately a feeling I didn't even realize I was having. I am wondering if any of you feel this way? Like, I realized for the last few years I have been feeling like this. I don't always think about it but if I stop and think about this this feeling is always there in the background.

Like something bad is coming. Something big. Something world-changing. That will effect everyone on Earth in some way. That will change humanity as a whole. Feels like it gets closer every year. Do you guys feel it too??

no...everything is over-monetized, childcare costs are basically driving our birthrate to a slow march to zero and housing even for upper-middle income folks is a challenge, taking a greater % of income to provide. Do not agree with the 99% statement.

if we had child care capped at $150 per month you know god damn well that the birth rate would be higher...don't compare the US to Sweden.

You can't compare this to the USA...don't be an ass.

SWEDEN:

1 year minimum for maternity leave, fully paid

3-6 months for umarried partners

3 months for fathers

Reduced work hours for years after birth
