I write a lot about my problems on here and not enough about good things other people have done for me. Being homeless you see a lot of people going out of their way to make sure strangers have clothes and food to eat. I just want to thank everyone that has done something nice for me even if they never see this post. And all though things seem to be getting a lot worse globally every day hopefully things are getting better in our communities.

the world is getting worse, but the perverse joke is that the people who stereotypically always reliably, predictably pine for the past, generation after generation, pine for the wrong things, and are largely the very same demographic who is making the world objectively worse today, perhaps in its terminal phase now

in other words conservatives are typically the ones who simultaneously pine for the past, and also do everything in their power to make the world worse, like deregulating anything which needs sensible regulation as an example

and in a bit of irony, the MAGA strain of conservatism ostensibly pines for days like 1944 through 1963, yet does not also want to reinstate that top income tax rate of over 90%, which worked just fine, the economy was booming not hampered by high income taxes
