In other words, overly reductive "kids today don't know how good they have it compared to their parents" narratives are usually only part of the story.

Also, many people voted for Reagan because they were pissed about...inflation.

They lived through the Depression, fought in WWII, and built postwar America. But they (& their parents) *also* hated hippies, supported the Vietnam War, feared/hated black people...and were pissed about inflation.

Yes, but few Americans view previous generations' suffering as the sina qua non of their own misery. What matters is that, just as the pandemic was ending, stuff cost more. For far too many, that was enough of a serious financial challenge that Dems' "you're better off" claims sounded like bullshit

Respect your appreciation for both first and third wave, but the lack of second wave representation saddens me.

I hope you know that you've been a light to so many throughout your career. We may not be the ones you call, but I hope you know we're out there lifting you up.

I’ve been spending too much headspace wishing that I lived in the timeline where the crew of “Star Trek Lower Decks“ travels to planets to help them dismantle capitalism.
