Young people are seeing no future in this country

24. Ain't that the truth.

BTW, your son can learn skills from the internet. As to 'having a degree', they rigged this against people like us. We have to take it one step at a time. The main thing, of course, is surviving while learning it. They rigged that against the poor as well.

I have to say, more and more, the main reason the urban areas are the worst place to be is their complete dependence on infrastructure. If the grocery store won't open, everyone starves with no other options. (Except for the wealthy, who have enough space on their properties to grow some food.) I want to get out to the country where I can at least attempt to be self sufficient. In the city, there is no way to even try. Which is by design.

As for leaving the country, I just can't. I may be nothing more than a target to them, but all I can do is die on the alter of truth. Because the truth is the oligarchy has won out and our society, as it was, cannot (and should not) continue and the old guard of power just won't let it go. So, rather than being surgical about it, people like myself will just have to slowly waste away or become fodder for the piranha pool as they wealthy drag things out to insure draining every last drop before moving to wherever they can afford.

(Tell your son that, when the time, comes, entertain the idea of communing with others and create a space for themselves. It may become that bad. I wish I were joking. I hope I am wrong.)
