Exactly. I'm sick of the doom and gloomers. Start inventing solutions.
What to do about it? 13 years ago I moved from longtime home, Seattle, to acreage in rural Kentucky and rather than socking away my money, I paid off all debt.
My cost of living is absurdly low, yet I’m living like a king, though my home is small (but nice - i.e. not a single-wide).
And I have my own shooting range.
I’ve not eliminated risk, but heavily mitigated it.
Oh, and April 15th the movie Civil War is being released. Speaking of that date, my taxable income is so low I pay no income tax at all, and I’m also retired.
It’s everywhere. Government. Corporations. Everything. No one solves anything, to protect their little empires.
We have a problem at my work, extremely frustrating for everyone involved.
I presented a very simple solution to “management” that would 100% fix the problem easily and immediately at no cost to the company.
“Management” looked at me with his usual moronic stupid look on his face and said “oh, we talked about that and decided we can’t do it because the other department doesn’t want to give up any of their control.”
