If you're over 40 these apps don't even work then you find it's not so much about commitment phobia its more to do with a system that taxes income to poverty. The ordinary working person in places like CA have lost so much traction it becomes impossible to build a life. Super high rents coupled with super high income tax combined with systemic insecurity have created a perfect storm of dehumanization and that's when we have a good economy.


How's this compared with being black or Mexican in CA 10, 20, 50, 100 years ago? Aren't you comparing a common case of today with the richest few percent of yesteryear?


We live in a very cynical and pessimistic time.

The level of thinly veiled despondency and contempt everywhere you look these days is rivaled only by the level of people mentally disclaiming that they're not perpetrating and perpetuating it.
