I thought my future would be cooler.
Accurate.
I’m GenX and not surprised by this at all. I came to the same conclusion 30 years ago.
When you don’t have kids it’s way harder to force you to do things, and way easier to make time for serious protest.
I agree with the message but I don’t know if arsenic + toxic algae in water necessarily deserve two separate slots in the Top 8 Prospective Millennial Parent Worries.
I’m more worried about the plastic, pesticides, degraded pharmaceuticals and heavy metals myself
Yes, including… freshwater fish! https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jan/18/freshwater-fish-contaminated-forever-chemicals
More generally the sixth mass extinction
PFAS chemicals should really be what we’re worrying about. They never break down, they’re highly carcinogenic, and they’re used in a lot of plastics.
Kinda what I meant by plastics
Yeah, that was a bit odd lol. I assume the last article the artist read before drawing this comic would have been about that, and it was pretty fresh in their memory.
Got my vasectomy a few years ago, best $500 I ever spent.
Check with your insurance. A lot of them will pay for it.
We have socialism in europe and it’s pretty great. Just leave us alone with forced upon communism before we’re technologically ready.
Insurance helped with most of it. It was cheap, I paid a little extra for the fun drugs.
Hence socialism.
Totally, none of the more socialist countries have any of these issues whatsoever, completely climate neutral, zero emissions, zero toxic chemicals spills, no overfishing, no deforestation, no paving over everything with more roads and factories.
This, but unironically.
I wish I could live in your dream world. I‘m not even kidding, please give me a piece of the propaganda where I can for one second believe that socialism and some benevolent dictator or something is the magic pill to save the climate. It might soothe me. Link something.
THE FUTURE IS SOCIALISM! DONT DISTRACT THE ISSUE WITH FACTS!
murrzstudio on instagram I think
Thanks, I’ll add the link to the post
nice thanks
Oh and don’t forget the AI replacing all of our jobs and skynet causing the extinction of mankind.
adopt
No
Why?
They already lost the game, real chads don’t raise losers
Ah, the world that capitalism built.
Just don’t look up
I thought we were good without mass shooting until we ended up having mass knifing instead
Honestly we need to seriously investigate what would cause someone to do something so destructive.
The US is just a rough place.
Doesn’t matter if you give them nukes, guns or knives.
It doesn’t matter? Ok, let’s legalize personal nuclear weapons. Background check optional.
I made a joke obviously
And I’m obviously being 100% serious. I yearn for a world where everyone carries a tiny nuclear warhead in their pocket. It’s the only way to achieve mutually assured self-defense.
I doubt they were referring to the US, guns have only increased here lately.
No, it’s a very safe place to live. Violent crime is rare overall. Most Americans have never seen anyone shot actually in person. The news coverage of the vast landscape of the USA focuses on each event of violence to magnify its emotional impact to get views
Only the ones that will make things worse
Quality over quantity and only if you are willing to make sacrifices.
When you don’t have kids it’s way harder to force you to do things, and way easier to make time for serious protest.
