So where are you in this subject today?
Where do expect to be on this spectrum next year?
Next 5 years? 10?
Got kids? Grandkids?
Do you worry about their future?
Are they worried about the future?
How do you feel now about your family and “friends” who voted for Trump? Any worse today than you did in November last year?
Have any of them changed their tune or are they trumpeting the trump victory of his big beautiful bill?
(We know Froggy is doing backflips)
Do you think Social Security and Medicare will still be there for you?
Planning to retire soon?
How about your finances? You good?
If you are white, straight, educated, working at a cool job or successfully retired, mortgage and car payments manageable… do you even give a shit? Or are you - in the above position - still going to wring your hands over the current situations, even though you may somehow be buffered from any ill-effects?
Is it time to finally throw up your hands and say fuck it. I’m good. I’ll just fly under the radar, do my job, mow my grass, drink my libations, watch my sports on TV, placate my spouse, do the best I can for the kids and grandkids. Tune out, turn on and live my life as quietly as possible and hope for the best.
