        Their way of life is disintegrating before their eyes. Even the people who have generational wealth will start to see their small hoard be taken. What they really want is to ride it out as long as possible and they think the status quo will save them. They think the status quo is invincible. I’m telling you the status quo just got purged from the government but keep on hoping.

        It feels like the divide in the US is so massive right now that you can’t agree on anything at all. No offence intended…
