Cliff note: Enjoy today. Every generation has and will continue to pay dues. 2014, 2021 are no different. I try to be grateful of the good times, respectful of those who endured bad times and not so naive or arrogant to think it wont happen to me again.

History shows one country brought the world to chaos for six years. Now its half the planet and half the world's population openly challenging the West- these pieces are not willfully going back into their boxes. $34T in debt, $3T in annual deficits, $1.6T in annual debt service, a tapped out consumer, bankrupt social security system, $76k median savings for boomers, extreme polarity in politics, loss of national identity and a mass introduction of unskilled labor... I could go on but what is the point after $1.6T.
