I think the title of the thread should mention the year of 2025 instead of 2024. There is hope only if you are commited in changing your own life for the better. Forget the president of USA, forget the economical scenario, forget the promises you have been listening to. These things never change for real, decade after decade. What you can is to work yourself inside the personal sphere of your life.
Develop skills, seek knowledge, do hobbies which make you feel good while avoiding addictions and other harmful practices. Draw short, medium and long term goals. Evade from worthless and unproductive conversations (such as politics), so you can dedicate your energy to more constructive matters.
This way there will be hope for you.
I agree with your words, although I am still pessimistic about the economic situation, I still want to live in the present, we are just ordinary people, can only be controlled by those big hands, the only thing we ordinary people can do is to live a little happier under control, so you might as well do something you like, and take what you like as a career. I'm working on TikTok right now, which is my favorite short-form video platform, because I just lost my job, so I'm trying to make a living with TikTok. I searched the internet for many ways to make money with TikTok
