July 21

Ugh. Another bleak day, another step toward authoritarian rule in America. Unidentified federal troops scooping up protestors. Coronavirus out of control. It was less than a month ago that the Times reported on Russia paying bounties for killing troops in Afghanistan and it's like the story never happened. Roger Stone's sentence commuted. Geoffrey Berman fired. The sitting President saying he might not accept the results of an election he is likely to lose and is already screaming about it being rigged. The budget deficit will be $4 trillion or more. It may be ok if you're 30 and have decades ahead of you to (hopefully) clean up this mess, but I had plans I wanted to quit working in 10 years. I expected a comfortable retirement. Now? Who knows if our nation will even be a democracy, much less a functioning one, and not a bankrupt quasi-dictatorship.
