1. What is there to look forward to?

Every day there is some new, awful story. Disease is on the rise. AI is mucking things up. Ageism is rampant in the workplace, and generations are pitted against each other (I actually think this is an underreported phenomenon at the moment). Families are spread apart. People in cities where ICE is are afraid to leave their houses. The cost of housing won't abate. All the movies are about dystopia and mayhem and panic.

I am supposedly at retirement age with absolutely no clear path to retiring and am putting in longer hours than ever with a crushing workload.

I don't even want to get out of bed some days.
