Also on the Tim Dillon show he called up a fast food place and they made even less then that which is just obscene to me. It's no wonder why no one wants to work in those shit holes.

how do I give up hope and just enjoy the ride frens

My parents lost their income due to the pandemic and I need to support them by making shit money doing a job I hate.

Any books for this feel?

you don't have to hate humanity to agree with OP. Human cities do not have to look like that, they are not essential to humanity. That shit in the OP is straight hideous, and it doesn't not work very well either. It's normal to hate it, and want better.

this is a book for brooklynite faggots. Fuck off new yorkers. The world is not like your little burough, and it will not be in the future.

I don't know how to describe this feeling other than "feeling sick".
I love my family, I love my girlfriend, I love my cat, I'm happy so many good things have happened in my life, but it will all be taken away.
Everything I love and cherish will be taken away sooner or later. The people I love will all die, they can die slow or they can die quick, but it is not going to be good or nice.
My own death is a nightmare scenario I have no chance of escaping, but when I think about living long enough to see everything you love rotting into nothingness or being violently taken away from this fucked up planet of shit, I just don't know.
This disgusting feeling never goes away, everything I love is tainted with death.
Yesterday I got black out drunk and embarrassed myself in front of my coworkers. I was in the house of one of them vomiting and feeling miserable. That feeling was there then, I was feeling like shit with myself, I started thinking about my loved ones dying and how it is one of those things that are inevitable. For the first time in my life I felt ready to die right then and there, I started mumbling stupid shit like how I wanted to shoot myself, to smear my brains all over the fucking wall and just get this shit over with, I was ready to let a train well smash my head because I don't want to live in a world were the only thing that waits me and the people I love is death.
The kind of death that is so lonely, that you see that person one day and then they are gone forever. I don't want to have children on this fucked up planet, but this is it, this is all there is. All this pain and terror and suffering is all there is. And it's maddening.
I don't want everything to fucking die. Why does it have to be like this? Why the fuck does everything have to die? Why do WE have to die like? Rotting away as our bodies decompose or getting your head smashed by a brick?
I imagine so many nightmare scenarios of how my death or the deaths of my loved ones will play out. But nothing will prepare for that moment of absolute pain and terror. NOTHING will steel me for that.
That rotten feeling of sickness is always with me. When I hug my loved ones and I tell them that I love them, when I look at my reflection in the mirror, when I see happy families walking around, I can only see death and decay and pain and misery and it's just this fucking overwhelming sadness in everything.
Sadness in everything, I think that sounds better.

There's plenty, Nudge just won a Nobel Prize and espouses libertarian thought. Perhaps Franklin's work or Wealth of Nations if you're into somewhat conservative takes on aggregate wealth.

I will say that taking a slanted opinion and treating it like truth is intellectually dishonest. I am right wing and trust the science over texts any day of the week. There's a clear difference between theorizing something and proving it. Just because it's in a book doesn't mean it's true or the ideas are ironclad. Communism proved to be a huge failure and that's one of the most cited and influential books out there, what does that say about the practice of ideology?

Similar story here. If my mum had me before 30 i wouldn't be an autistic retard. Ugly r9k dipshits will never know this feel. I don't have a single thing to pin my failure on. It is entirely my own retarded doing. If I were fat (I have a 6 pack) I could blame that. If I were overly short I could blame that etc. Truth is its just the tism and my hopeless alienation from the normie world. Hope the law degree was worth it mummy you bitch
