[quote=Anonymous]I’m feeling anxious, depressed and despondent for quite a while.

Not just because of what has been happening in this country politically, but MOSTLY because of the economy - it feels like EVERYTHING is more expensive but our (family) wage is not going up with it so we have been living paycheck to paycheck on a monthly basis, often having to dip into our savings for unexpected events (like car break down for example).

My oldest is a sophomore and college and it’s costs lines in the horizon.

Then, there is a more broad aspect of things. I feel like I can’t relax and I’m always waiting for what next this crazy administration is going to come up with. It feels like they are impending all the social, safety, and legal norms that we are used to and protect us.

Then, there are all the OTHER crappy news, like today I learned from NPR that there are these high definition cameras throughout some places that tracks people for just existing, without any apparent reason - just walking their dogs for instance. And they communicate through AI, etc.

I also learned today, through the WP, that there is something called administrative subpoena, without any judicial oversight, that can request banks, cc, Google, Facebook, VERIZON, etc, all your info. I was like, WTF??! Without a judge signing in??? Without any reason?

Anyway, everything is kind of lame right now.

I feel very sorry for my children.[/quote]
