Things do not feel ok. Growing inflation. Outdated systems. Failing schools. Incompetent leadership. Captured government regulators. Too much regulation too start small businesses. Societal rot from the left and wokeism. A lack of innovation outside of software. Deindustrialization of the west.

Few things bring me hope. They are:

1)Bitcoin

2)Watching Elon trying to get us into space (in a meaningful way).

3) friends and family members starting traditional families and having many children.
