I am, but I just hope I get 8 more months. I sold a mountain cabin retreat in order to escape Mexifornia, but won’t make the complete move until next march. In the meantime, I feel like I’m living in limbo, and at risk.

What we’ve encountered here is a far cry from the greatest generation that went through the first depression without whining and without government handouts. Then they fought a war to preserve democracy, again without whining. Then after the war, they built a booming economy and a standard of living unsurpassed anywhere. The only thing they did wrong was raise a bunch of spoiled brats that will dismantle it all. (And they voted for the New Deal, which started our slide into fascism.)
