And things do not begin to look good. As the pandemic slows down, less deaths thanks to the vaccines, some states in the US now call it an endemic, other states and some countries have removed the mandatory facemask restriction, inflation on the US dollar has reached highs not seen in forty years, and sounds of war are beginning to ring with the Russia - Ukraine soon to be crisis.
People are tired, families are tired, every economy in the world is tired. Millennials have had it rough and just cannot seem to catch that most necessary break. Care for your family, run your household, do your job, save money, and get absolutely nowhere. A big reminder of Linkin Park's song - In The End.
A craze comes by every four years with cryptocurrency and many have found that window to get ahead in life. Others, sit and wait, but most, lose. All of this makes one wonder, what is it to come for our children? Will the economy improve? Or will we all plummet into a sea of unpayable debt with impossible recovery? What will be the change that helps future generations have a greater opportunity in life? Will a third world war keep the US dollar up to standards and remain as the top currency in the world? But what would the sacrifice be?
To all the millennials that always wanted to live through something transcendental, this decade, the 2020's, is the most promising one, as well as the most damaging one. This is the decade that will mark the strong minded and strong willed. The most determined.
