but what are the questions young people have to ask themselves in a world rattled by a pandemic?
Spending quarantine in a cockroach infested apartment, Maz finds herself questioning the land of opportunities.

I don't want to live here
The land of opportunities.
"When I tell my father that I’m thinking of moving to a different country, I’m met with shock and confusion. What was all that struggle for—all the years he was separated from his parents, the financial instability, the racism at school, and later, at work—if not to bring me up in the land of opportunity?
I don’t know what it’s like to go hungry for days, or to not be able to (constantly) speak my mind. Here, or so the dominant narrative goes, anyone can have it all. That’s the beautiful thing about this country.
Most people would never dream that leaving America could be a good thing."

American exceptionalism
Best country in the world.
"You're taught, America is the best country in the world. Hands down, why would you ever want to live anywhere else?
I'm very lucky to be American but I was really pushing back on the idea that we are the best. You don't have to be the best country in the world. What does that even mean? According to what metric?"

Disenfranchised billionaires.
Covid truth.
Generation Z
The decline.
Lessons to learn.
"Hopefully the takeaway is going to be that it isn’t the worst thing in the world to consider other people.
There’s a lot of lessons that we need to learn as individuals but that we can also take away as a country. I hope it does get learned. But we’ll see, I guess."
