Maybe if Peter was paid a living wage, had rent that wasn’t price fixed, wasn’t at the mercy of artificial inflation, could afford to buy a home without an outrageous interest rate, a retirement age and pension that could support his retirement, and had all the economical advantages the boomers had… he wouldn’t be in a bar drinking himself into an early grave.

But, let’s blame Spider-Man.

Spiderman was born in the 50s. He absolutely got all the economic advantages the boomers had.

Ehhh, that’s kinda like Batman though. Peter Parker is eternally a teenager/young twenties, just like Bruce Wayne is always in his late twenties/ early thirties, except that one comic.

there is “easier” and then there is just mathematically impossible.

I just don’t want to participate in a society that literally doesn’t care about it’s future or it’s children enough to actually help them.

It’s not giving up it’s just a refusal to add to the problem and fight against a community of individuals trying to take as much from everyone else as possible.

And unfortunately that means dying young, poor, and unable to help myself.

Is it giving up when it’s already hopeless?
