in 5 years we'll be eating the carcasses of the rich off rotisseries over tire fires as the ashes of civilization waft on the breeze around us so you can relax for now

I think it'll be like this forever but that's just my bad brain talking. Things will look up for you

jobs will exist rather nebulously and be much more seasonal and you'll become more willing to be paid in food, internet access, fuel and weed

Up until like the 90s there were lots of jobs. I think what happened to architecture and teaching at the university level is coming for everything. Just hollowed out professions that really only exist in name only. The recent layoffs in tech portents this future for the last bastion of white collar
