Anything that involves planning for the future seems futile. Stocking the larder? Will it be needed by October?

Quick, easy, necessary, cheap repairs will be completed. Bigger projects I'm putting off.

The dissolution of the whole federal government rattles me to the core because it involves the values that the whole country and arguably a good portion of western civilization lives by. The wisdom of our best and brightest over 100-150 years. Gone! Because the richest people in the world want to deceive us into giving it all up for them.
