I often wonder if it is just me and my wife that are concerned about the oncoming dumpster fire in America?

I mean the signs are there, and have been there for some time now.  Maybe because of how much I traveled for work prior to retiring I see the decay is not localized at all.  Nor is the extravagance.  Nor is the can-do spirit of normal folks like us.

But the decay is there nonetheless.  The drugs, the petty crime, vandalism, disinterest in keeping properties maintained, etc, etc etc

So we try to put things away that we think may come in handy.
