A group of young people dancing at a disco.
In my view, the cabal and automation combined to deprive today’s youth of what we had. (I am seventy.)
I’m living in part on a pension which most of today’s generation will never have. I worked for companies in which advancement was possible, that offered benefits packages, full-time, permanent employment, all kinds of leaves, the whole whizbang.
I never knew how good I had it.
Today’s generation has none of that. They survive by their wits. And you wonder why so many are still living at home? It’s called communal living. Banding together for survival in a world designed by people who don’t care.
People who create false-flag events to start wars, spread chemicals through the air, cause earthquakes and hurricanes, and aim at world domination. People who failed, like the lumbering dinosaurs they were.
We nimble mammals are now coming out of our burrows. We survey the damage. Not only were youth the victims of the large reptiles. So were the sick and the aged.
It’s now our job, as the ones who’ll survive the impact of comet Ascension (the dinosaurs won’t), to rebuild the world.
To rebuild it for our children (and grandchildren) in ways that they may not know about. They won’t know about benefits plans, pensions, one-job families, and the caring for the worker that went along with all those developments. Few of them can go to a chiropractor or, in some cases, even a dentist.
We won’t need these particular things in the new world, but the thinking behind them is what’s useful.
We may have to supply that piece of the puzzle as the last ones alive with memory of the social-safety net we had in the Fifties to Seventies. (1)

(1) It died in the great recession of 1982. The social-safety net was a combination of state-offered and volunteer-offered services to low-income people. The volunteer services were themselves paid for from grants from the state, foundations, or other sources. Money was available for it in those days and people valued it. This generation can (and probably will) re-create it, in a different form perhaps, with the proceeds of the Reval.
