"Every ordinary person around my age has a secret self from before the crash, one who dared to dream of more than a life of necessities reclassified as luxuries. There are marriages that never happened, children never born, chances never taken, because the struggle to hang on to what you have is so great that it hurts your heart to hope for more. You can't afford the literal cost, and you can't afford the psychic cost. In the postemployment economy, a generation learned to manage its expectations.
The rage, though — that stays with you."
— Sarah Kendzior, Hiding in Plain Sight: The Invention of Donald Trump
