We are in our mid-60s, with two adult children who are very underemployed, and I have 2 much older siblings (79 & 81), neither with kids/other family here, though the oldest is married. So there's that to factor in. Frankly, I'm really concerned about our future. I seem to have misplaced my pair of LDAHL's rose-colored glasses. . .
I’m a cockeyed optimist who doesn’t see massive sentiment for the 55/45 states splitting off from the 45/55 states. Nor do I see budding fascist dictatorships or theocracies getting much traction in the real world either. Maybe I just don’t spend enough time in social media reality to see all the signs and portents.
