I agree. It seems that much of society is running on fumes and that there is this persistent narrative that if you just try harder and work more hours while doing these 5 self-help steps that somehow that will lead to wealth. Part of my background was in evaluating credit risk of millions of loan applicants and it was very concerning to see the state of economic stability in the country.

If I’d had that job, I probably would’ve ended up buying a mountain cabin stuffed with MRIs and guns. Dunno how you could look at all that stuff and not basically say “welp, we’re fucked”.
Do you mean MREs? Or an actual cabin full of million dollar medical equipment
While that is actually quite a hilarious image, I did indeed mean MREs.
That's a relief. That MRI would have been worthless once your helium supply ran out.
And in my hands, before the helium ran out too.
With the MRIs you could start a potentially successful Dr. practice and perhaps not have to worry about the licensing because of the upheaval. JK I know you probably meant MREs. Yes, I just hope that eventually the narratives shift towards recognizing and dealing with these types of issues. My outdoors skills could use some serious improvement.
