Growing up in a rural area that’s always had the emotional sense of “Trump country.” we just worked.
From the time I was a kid (40 now) I was repairing cars, soldering electronics, doing all kinds of stuff on friends farms, and helping aunts/uncles draw chemistry and calculus problems through college.
For me being catered to the way we are is pathetic. Still fix my own stuff, grow 1/4 of my plant food for a year, and work 40-50 hours a week writing code, mostly open source and I make bank. And I live in the middle of an overpriced urban area, helping out people that needed it this last week.
And I don’t care. It could all go away. I’ll find something else to do. Life for me isn’t propping up some imported emotional framework, like religion or making money.
Pretty sad the last generation is making the current one look like the disorganized, low effort do-nothings they always said it was.
There’s plenty to do around your neighborhood I’m guessing. The problem is ya gotta look.
The reality is somewhere out there is a big group of people we don’t care about helping. We all have one. Kids in cages or something. My indifference is for the nation. It’s gonna externalizations all its problems, ok. You did it to yourselves.
