Nomadland Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century

I was just reading no madland have you read no madland I haven't you should I think it's better than hillbilly allergy as far as understanding what's happening in the world and the author is not a piece of shit so she she goes around and she follow like there's this whole like millions of boomers mostly who in the financial crisis lost their house lost their jobs aged out of the workforce and now like live not in trailer parks but in RV parks and they travel around and they work seasonally at like theme parks or amazon warehouses or national parks and so it's this kind of like lost generation of people who the american dream failed right and reading the book um you know it like when you know when you hear someone who's just like they're like well and then this happened to me and then this happened to me and then this happened to me there's a part of you a very human part that's just like I can't deal with this right and as I was reading that there was a voice in my head of like my dad that I got from like listening to conservative talk radio as a kid that I could feel actively trying to convince me that what had like looking for a way that what had happened to this individual person was their fault right I was like oh it's because you drank or oh you didn't save your money or oh you should have gone to college or oh like I was there was a part of me that was just like trying to find I realized what I was trying to do is find a way that it was their fault and then I wouldn't have to care and this wouldn't make me sad right and and so I think about that a lot of the political opinions I try to work on are that instinctive reaction of the mind trying to like detangle you from a depressing complicated potentially uh no easy solution problem so I can just go back to my very comfortable nice life
