Nah. That’s nonsense.
A career? Fuck that noise, statistically you will never make enough to make the effort worth it, get a job that offers you what you need and doesn’t demand more bullshit from you (although i understand some places just won’t let this happen). Family? Frankly i think having kids is a mistake regardless, but once they are old enough you shouldn’t be a helicopter parent anyway. A partner? Good partners let you have some time for yourself and your hobbies (and that goes both ways!).
True, but at this point i can’t say that’s a bad thing. Not many places in this country are even decent, but those that are are being held down by the red states. Sure, I’d have to escape my shithole state if it happened, but at least where i end up would have the chance to be better than what we have now. And the red states would completely collapse, allowing anyone who does stay the opportunity to reform them.
