The one thing which concerns me more than anything is my Grandchildren. My Daughter and Son-in-Law are pretty much your typical American upper middle class family.
They are basically conservative but they simply don’t think the country is rotting and they are not making preparations for anything other than their future financial security.
Their maternal Grandfather lives with them and is partly responsible for their comfortable life. His upbringing was your typical hardscrabble farm existence. He was a kid during the dust bowl and depression, went into the Army at 18, fought til the end and went to college on the GI bill.
They are his only heirs and they will be wealthy, actually already are to an extent. Unfortunately all that can disappear except maybe their real property.
I don’t see them very often tho we exchange emails about daily. I just don’t seem to be able to get through to them.
It’s that normalcy bias. Most well-to-do German Jews just couldn’t imagine Germany getting worse, year by year. Until it did, and it was too late to flee.
