Truly strange times we live in, to me...

I often question who this guy's real target audience is with some of this stuff. I think a lot of folks my age are extremely disconnected from politics, and just do whatever the guy next to them is doing. I did for a long time.

A lot of folks just want to keep their house or apartment or job, and figure all of the "keep on keeping on" will eventually pay off if they work a bit harder, for just a bit longer, making just a bit less than Dad did. That was the amended social contract to them as much as SS was to the one's before.

They still have hope the system of the 1990's and 2000's has enough gas to cross the line for them. It doesn't. It was never really intended to, but denial is hard especially when you are 75% of the way there.

Gen X needs to put 65 million votes behind breaking some china and getting the show rolling if we still expect air locks and flying cars. I think we got busy with work and didn't realize we were the only one's still in the building. Millennials and Gen Z never really got in the door. We need to walk away, adapt, and let the institutions of these old men and women who lied to us fail. There's no cake left for the servants.

It's time for us to politely punch out, to go home, and get a life. Things changed.
