I don't understand the people who told me I would get more conservative with age. The more powerful I become, the more angry I get at the people who abuse their power and the more aware I become of the ways in which systemic oppression functions.
20-year old me totally believed that tech was a meritocracy where people pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and that the 30-something guys I dated were attracted to me because I was so mature.
In other news, I am reading "Capital in the 21st Century" by Thomas Picketty and I am so angry at baby boomers right now.
@evacide boomers are exiting the market and the workforce. We just gunna inflate assets and wages and swallow them now.
@evacide they left us too much debt… we have to…
@ARCANON @evacide Inflate wages? That is part of the problem. People do not realize the current federal minimum wage has only 60% of the buying power of 1968 minimum wage. Over time inflation has effectively decreased the minimum wage.
@Csosorchid @evacide yes, it also decreases debt burdens.
