These are unprecedented times. We all keep saying that, but it's only going to keep getting weirder for us all. Billionaires are literally going to space while the middle class shrinks and shrinks. There is a "worker shortage" that's really a low-key strike against poor wages, combined with lots of covid-related deaths and illnesses that have left people disabled. That's not even counting all of the uncertainly in the world, how rapidly technology and global warming are advancing, the fact that this virus continues to remain as deadly as ever while people go about their business and all of the robots becoming more and more used and lifelike...
It's really easy to get wrapped up in all of this fear, especially since we have no idea what's coming next--especially since prices continue to rise, social security gets shakier than ever and none of us know what to expect. Did you know that expenses for older adults have doubled twice as much as benefits in the first place? Yikes.
There are a lot of freaky things about living in 2021 right now. Hope is never lost; we can always try to do better, to pass legislation to create a more equitable and safe world.
