yes i believe we are in a better shape than the time where you could be lobotimized for being gay

are you actually gay or just pandering to identity politics? because I am gay and cultural wedge issues aside the country is loving hosed compared to the standard of living most (white) people enjoyed in the 60s. Lobotomized, beaten to death, dying of AIDS, murdered by 'gay panic' defendants, electrocuted for "conversion therapy," (that guy was our Vice President until this year in case you forgot) fired from your job, pretending hosed up poo poo doesn't happen to gay people after the 60s and today is some liberal bullshit.

The material conditions for the vast majority of Americans have degraded, retirement prospects are nonexistent, housing is exorbitantly priced and bought up by investors, global supply lines are crumbling, the planet is literally dying under our feet and choking us in toxic gas, and now a deadly pandemic is overloading our medical system, which has been hollowed out for corporate profit to a degree unheard of anywhere else on the planet. The difference between now and the 60s is that everyone is now as screwed and futureless as the gays have always been. Gee, I wonder why every generation since then has faced young adulthood with trepidation and hopelessness? Idiot.

I heard that the competition between teaching assistants and professors in college gets really vicious so it would not surprise me if someone tries to give their old teacher COVID to try to climb the ladder.

the social change we've got since then (believe me, as a transgender woman i am deeply, deeply aware of this, although my state government sure seems to think i should still be lobotomized) has been great, but it's come at the same time as a massive backslide in the economy and a wealth redistribution to the capitalist class of a scale not seen since the 19th century. It's nice to not be bludgeoned in the street, but also people back then could get a stable union factory job and survive with a reasonably comfortable middle class existence. This is now impossible.
edit: note that the nicer economy of the 60s was only nicer for white people, things have always been poo poo if you're anyone else

Also not sure where you're at, but a lot of people don't realize that in a lot of places in the US (I think it generally goes by township/county unless that's just my state) trans people have no housing rights. Like, we can legit be evicted for being trans and that's totally OK and legal in lots of places. I live in one of those places. I was lucky/privileged enough to get my own property now and I hope to freakin God I never lose it, especially now that one of my Gen Z kids also came out as trans. Like, there's a lot of basic poo poo trans people have to loving still worry about even if things are overall "better." I'm currently trying to help another trans brother get legal help for being harassed by his property management. The eviction memorandum obviously has helped but I'm drat sure whenever it does actually expire, lots of trans people here will be homeless.

it's mostly that many universities have simply stopped hiring more professors even as they take in more and more students so it's a common refrain that the only way for a job opening to become available is for an older professor to die

I have absolutely no doubt that social isolation (not calling them lockdowns if the state hasn't locked-down) to avoid COVID is "taking a toll on the mental health of children"

I also have no doubt that it's not worth extracting the toll from their lungs and brains instead

if people want children to be able to have in-person classes again, pursue a COVID-zero strategy, so you can restart face-to-face education like China has

if online classes are difficult, governments need to step in and provide workable computers and strong internet connections to everyone

probably a good bit.

they compared the increases due to natural disasters or large terrorist attacks.

“This fits with research on natural disasters and terrorist attacks, which shows that wide-scale community stressors are tied to a rise in mental health concerns. What’s surprising, McLaughlin said, is the magnitude of the rise during the pandemic”
