many years from now. I think it's hurting people in various ways, thank you for sharing your story, magical thyme. The new normal is really about what's hitting everyone on a personal level, the bigger collapses have started with big businesses we thought would be around forever, that are now drastically downsizing or folding altogether. All of this taking place while the l%. the wealthiest are thriving and becoming more powerful and wealthier. Assets are at yard sale prices for them, globally.
It seems like we are at a crossroads with the upcoming election, and Sanders 2016 is more crucial than ever.
You may not know it, but Michael Hudson describes your story as the way things are headed, with people resorting to becoming more sustainable and off the grid as much as they can be since it's something they can count on. It's all predictable, but we are the ones living it.
So many lives are on hold, generations of lives, really. Older people put off retirement, those who are retired are forced to work part time to make ends meet, younger people put off marriage, buying a home, car, etc., so many have taken on debt with the hope it would somehow pay off.
TY for sharing, I hope you are successful in your plans and find your way, I hope it's a better life than the one you thought you wanted. Sometimes detours can be that way, I hope it is for you.
