I was the same age as Bart when the Simpsons premiered, then one day I realized I was the same age as Homer. Anyway, as that class of Xennial/Eldest Millennial, the Simpsons character I most identify with is Frank Grimes.

Hey, hi, yeah, uh, I have a proposal to fix America's health care crisis? So basically the idea is that 1: We tax multimillionaires at the same rate we tax regular people, and 2: We put that money toward social welfare and not, y'know, bombing schools and hospitals in the Middle-East? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm under no illusions about how things are or what the trajectory is. But I'm also excited for the future because that is where I will hang out with the people I care about and do the things I like doing, or haven't done before. Weird but telling that this holds less appeal for much richer people.

Hands down the best feature of google maps is when you zoom in on the area you need, search for something, and it snaps out to a 16-mile radius before asking if you'd like to zoom back in and search the five-block area where you started.
