While I think things are improved from the disaster a while back, I think there may be some degree of 'new normal' in this just because we've been living beyond our means for decades now.
Our culture is finding that limitless waste, entitlement to convenience and excess, greed, and grabs for short term gain with no foresight is resulting in a crumbling empire? That the corporations that we've been giving everything to hand over fist don't actually care about us or this country? Our country where 'competitive eating' is a sport? Shocking.
Sorry about my tone, none of this is directed at you of course, I'm just frustrated and doing the clawing at the sky motion. I think we could turn this around if we started working together again with an ideal for improving our country and ourselves. Maybe realize that entities we build specifically and solely to gather money and power will just keep doing it.
