As an a vintage millennial I can say w confidence: there will be more and you should prepare yourself. Lol
i lol because it's the only way i can find to keep myself sane through the insanity from the last 40+ years and it's taught me to expect more because boomers and the silent generation (eg biden and trump) are still in control and will be for atleast another 35+ years so shit will continue to happen because they only give a rat's ass about themselves and maybe their children/grandchildren.
unless you're one of those children/grandchildren, more shit will happen and expect to have to vote for those children/grandchildren into office or, at least, expect to call them boss at your next job; assuming you can still get a job.
and don't bother complaining about it; the last 40+ years have also taught me the hard way that doing so will only label you a malcontent and make it more difficult to find work in your future.
learn how to fake a convincing smile to your bosses and find something to lol at for yourself to keep your head above the water.
Yeah I've been doing that for a the last few years and still struggle with maintaining it and have given so much of my emotions up to keep that mask on that if I magically found a gun in my hand I might not think twice before it was in mouth.
That inability to do anything but take the beatings with a smile has worn be down to a husk of a person.
Just because history doesn't remember it doesn't mean it hasn't always been this way. Just roll with the punches and adapt when it actually affects you.
As an early GenXer...they ain't seen nothing yet.
Bbbb baby?
