for example:

get off of facebook (easy). don't buy tesla or use starlink (easy). don't buy on amazon (difficult but doable). Don't upgrade your iphone, and don't buy new apple products (moderate). Don't use CHATGPT (easy).

I remember when the US government paid AT&T to get fiber to the curb of American homes.

Then AT&T didn't. And then the US sued AT&T to get the money back and into the hands of US Americans. Wireless internet is an end-around having to fulfill those promises of a wide bandwidth future. And here is the evidence for that.

It is a good job.

If you are from the US that might be why it feels weird. Keep saving.

And being there is what these folks need for when they need you. And you need them. So don't just go sleep on the couch. Once the late nights start to interfere with your health it is time to give up that shift to someone younger.

Until then you are on the good foot. Keep caring for them and yourself. Save your monies. And take up life affirming activities outside of work.

And keep being my hero.

Italians, like the people that populate Italy, don't think of themselves as white. They see themselves as Italian.

Americans of Italian descent have a complicated relationship with "whiteness". White is not a biology. It is a malleable group designed to keep people labeled black underfoot.
