I feel you. I’m so fucking sick of the scam based economy we (I’m assuming you’re also in the US based on the vibe of your comment; apologies if I’m wrong) live in. I don’t have a family, I can only imagine how much more difficult things are right now for people who do.

It makes me feel like the only path forward in terms of improving any facet of human life is to push the kleptocrats and oligarchs currently running things out of power. That’s honestly one of my goals going to law school; I want to work in politics in some fashion and try to change that. I see some of the anti-oligarchy politicians that have had success or at least a lot of news coverage lately and that gives me some hope for the future. I absolutely hate the idea of being a politician, but I hate the idea of allowing the people currently in charge to remain in charge even more.

I feel this. 5 years ago I was a radar engineer making ~200k/yr. Today I’m unemployed and just submitted an application to a law school. I love technology and I’d love nothing more than to continue working in STEM fields, but I just cant justify it when the torment nexus is the only project those in charge are willing to fund. I cant bring myself to continue letting the rich harm people with technology I make, hopefully I can at least get involved with the law and try to create conditions where people in the future can work on tech without building the torment nexus
