This. I’ve struggled to explain the general malaise, especially to older people, but you are completely right here. There is simply no point to anything anymore. Things used to operate such that hard work = reward. Now, the reward has been almost universally removed. The system itself is failing, and any hard work just makes some other rich person richer.

Yeah cause wtf is the point anymore? No pensions, no raises, no houses, nothing. You literally get to stall the inevitable for another day. Fuck that.

Nothing to show and a day closer do death, as the song goes.
