I wish there were some contemporary-ish milfic that wasn’t written like a Tom Clancy book. If I weren’t so lazy I’d write it myself. But I won’t, because see above.

(I grew up in a singlewide until I was 11 so as a kid even the Connor household looked pretty fuckinโ palatial space-wise)

I grew up in a single-wide until the age of 8 or 9. After that, we upgraded to a double-wide. That was a big deal for us. My parents could barely afford it but a single-wide with two kids was untenable.
Then my dad lost his job and then they really couldn’t afford it, though it didn’t get repossessed (car did, though).
I’ve never really watched Roseanne, but it’s one of the few to show working-class people that I am aware of.

I think Ada Palmer and Sue Burke might be two of the few human beings alive who understand the possible non-extinction futures humanity is likely heading towards.
Read the Terra Ignota series by Palmer and the Semiosis duology by Burke if you have not to get a glimpse of these likely futures.

I’m not sure exactly which dystopia it is where you get advertised Amazon warehouse jobs while pumping gas…
But it definitely is one pic.twitter.com/NAjV8hQbTjโ foone (@Foone) November 22, 2019
It’s a Stephensonian dystopia, because the progressives want us to live in pods while working horrifically inhuman gigs to “save the earth,” ร la Snow Crash. Though I don’t particularly care for that novel (it’s trying way too hard), that’s our dystopia and it’s getting worse.

I think this is pretty much perfect & basically Boomers played on a pre-release patch in which your ingame currency rewards for simple actions were absurdly generous compared to the grind needed today. Theyโre like โjust do your daily quests, shake the managerโs hand.โ

Good analogy. Boomers (especially white ones) played with the difficulty set on “Super Easy” and now are tetchy that others get upset that newer generations are forced to play on “Ultra Hard” mode. They don’t realize, despite being told a million times, that the difficulty level has changed at all. “Just beat the street, show up and demand a job” is their advice. Ok, boomer, good way to get arrested for harassment and trespassing.
