The current situation is so depressing. The combined ongoing destruction in the uk and the us of many years of relative safety and peace while claiming it's all to protect us from change or something like that reminds me that the many poor leaders and failures of ancient countries making terrible decisions that lead to the end of their countries can happen now. What a run on sentence. At the same time, I'm extremely fortunate to have a great job and be part of the "programmer class". So many people in both countries have lost their economic confidence and a job that pays for a decent lifestyle.
