I'm a software engineer, The conditions of my job are actually pretty sweet: I get to work remote from a medium CoL city, I get paid well, my schedule is flexible so I don't have to be chained to my desk all day. The stuff I code is pretty boring but it's not the worst thing in the world.

The thing I can't stand is my coworkers: so many people I've met in this industry are money-obsessed ladder-climbing yuppies. Some of my coworkers are honest to god land lords. I dread having conversations with anyone in project management. These people are territorial and become upset whenever they're not included in some meeting. If one product manager gets added to a call, I hear about it from the other PMs. A good day for me is when I have 8 straight hours of coding to do and I don't speak to a single soul at work.

I am not anti-social. I have worked at other companies where my coworkers were really cool and I enjoyed talking with them. I like to take my laptop and work at the dog park and talk to other people. Maybe it's a regional thing? My coworkers are mostly in New York and my other jobs have all been in the South.

What the title says. The federal government is incrementally eroding our rights in ways that aren't going to put people on the streets with guns immediately, but where in a year or two we will wake up one day and realize that we are afraid to speak our minds, to vote for the opposition candidate, or to go outside. Our freedom of movement, speech, conscience, our right to own guns, our right to vote, and our right to conduct commerce will be subjected to federal restriction. Congress, even under a majority democratic house and senate, will do nothing. The supreme court is toothless. At best, state governors will bang theirs fists against their podiums on TV, but the national guards will be nationalized to herd us into concentration camps for opposing the federal government. Attorneys general will waste months in useless court cases, and the white house will simply ignore the ruling. There is absolutely nothing stopping the federal government from doing this right now, and I doubt any semblance of opposition beyond tweeting and complaining on social media will materialize. Governors, Judges, Mayors, Senators, Congressmen will be arrested and replaced with government approved candidates. The United States will cease to even resemble a democracy.

I would think that the technology for cryo freezing people would have been newish by 1999, so there probably aren't too many people from before then who woke up in 3000. There may have been a few people who froze and unfroze around the same time, so he may not be THE oldest, but I think that he's the oldest person in the series
