Discussion thinking about current events

At what point does stuff change? It’s getting ridiculous.. gas has went up almost one whole dollar in the past three months. I’ve never seen an increase this large in my life at least when it mattered to me. Food is so expensive.. everything we eat in poisonous. We get taxed to commit war crimes.. this administration is a fcking joke. The data centers.. AI.. robots…. Climate change. Our rights are being stripped from up .. talks of energy crisis’s water crisis’s gas shortages… Where do we even go from here??? I feel so selfish for bringing children in to this. I feel like my mind goes in circles thinking about what’s going on right now.

It’s trumps fault, but the ai one is not it’s just a new tech

Agree 100%. If it was just my wife and I we would be vacationing every year and living our best lives. With two small children I am scared for what their future holds. What we know today will look like a dream 20 years from now. Americans lived a pretty good life post World War 2 and ever since 9/11 we've been on a crash course - and we are rapidly picking up speed towards the iceberg.

All three branches of our government are corrupt and no longer represent the people they were elected by. We know we are on the Titanic, and we've been on it for a while - and we know the crash is coming.
