@b9AcE It usually is in increments of 20-30 year cycles, I've noticed. So yes we're in a very restrictive conservative cycle now, but it won't stay that way. In fact I already can predict things going drastically the other direction in about 5 to 10 years.
I'm afraid we will at some point have to contend with WW 3, and it will be sooner rather than later. So with that in mind, I do my best to enjoy every moment we have left and be happy as I can be. Climate change also will be a huge problem in about 5 more years, not that it isn't already.....
So the best of times is now, as they say. You just have to hang on and get joy wherever you can find it.
