Hilariously I am broke and homeless and one of my degrees is in Economics.
You only need to know one quote to summarize the mindset of nearly all Western Economists:
"In the long run, we are all dead anyway."
I remember choosing Iceland as my case study for a school report in 2010 about how various national economies responded to the 08 financial crash.
My professor was quite angry when I pointed out an actual successful real world example of an economy that just told all the banks to go fuck themselves and basically did pretty economically well.
That wasnt possible according to what he was teaching.
I have zero degrees because I realized that college professors were put on this earth to piss me off and then dropped out. And look at me now! I'm friends with a homeless person! But for serious, is there anything internet strangers can do to help?
My credit score is abysmal after my wallet was stolen, and I now have an eviction, and I am living off of SSDI.
I would like to be able to live somewhere with a bed and within walking distance to grocery stores.
So far I have managed to pull of the bed part, had to get halfway across the country to find a motel cheap enough I can basically live in, but its a mile away from a grocery store and even after now about 2 weeks of nothing but resting, my extremely sore and torn ligaments still are not great.
Basically at this point in my life (read through my comment history if you want some more details), I just want to be left alone to try to make my own video game. Just because I love video games amd coding... and as sad as this may sound I feel that is basically all I have left that would really give me any drive in life.
I have many other hobbies amd interests, and I am sure that I could eventually find new friends... but my family and nearly all my old friends are either delusional, manipulative or indifferent to what I have been going through.
I probably just need to rest more. I have been figuring out how to stay alive on my own for a bit more than a year now... and I do not think I can ever really trust anyone ever again, after how many people have taken advantage of me.
I'm really sorry to hear that! I hope you get to enjoy a future as bright as you are and fuck these ecocentric policies
