And now they're seen as a bunch of creeps that love peeping into your windows.

My wife turned into a stay at home mom when we started having kids. Her salary wouldnt cover the costs of both childcare necessary for her to return to work.

Tell me again how I'm supposed to be making my country and society better? How about acknowledging that all levels of government are letting the critical care of the next generation flounder and fail.

I worry about what kind of society will be there to support me when I can't work anymore. I worry about the world my children seem to be inheriting.

Useful idiot discovers she's not useful anymore.

Waive tax for primary residence, tax the everliving fuck out of non-primary residences to the point nobody wants to rent them out anymore.

Work something outside your normal skillset as a stopgap measure. Maybe you'll find a new passion. The world just changed around you, don't assume that the time and skills you've developed so far will continue to pay off. Sunken cost fallacy. Find a new niche, make yourself good at it. Gig work, odd jobs, keep a goal in mind and work towards it.

It can very easily overwhelm you, so try to think of how proud someone that loves you will be when you pull yourself out of it. Believe that they want to be there for you, to help you, regardless of if you're proud of those decisions or not. I don't care about embarrassment or ego, I care about having those I love actively in my life.

Talk to people, don't let your sadness fester. It's ok to cry, but don't let it be all you do.

Live today, not in the past of your relationship or the future you once dreamed up. Live today with today's challenges and make a new plan for tomorrow.

I hope you'll be ok. There's love out there, I hope you can feel a tiny bit of it from this internet stranger. Please let me know when (not if) things turn and start looking better.

They had that choice, we're well past that point now.

People are sharpening their steak knives and boiling the potatoes. How do you like your rich brat served up?

Much like the purposeful erosion of our social norms by making the insane look normal, the first rich person eaten will shock you. The second will be odd. The 3rd will seem almost normal, and the 4th will barely make the news. Maybe they'll get the point by the 5th, but I'm sure there is enough appetite to remove them all.

Hey if they want to set that precedent, so be it.

Not that I want to vote for a geriatric person, and it seems like you have no choice anyway, in all fairness we've been trying to elect this guy since he was barely geriatric.
