I don’t know how anyone watching the oversight hearing with AG Bondi can come away with anything but a profound feeling that our national government is broken.

We understand democracy is under attack, but what of the approaching tsunami of professional and white collar job loss by AI. The astronomical valuations of the AI companies are based on savings to business from job termination where AI replaces the human employee. Is there a safety net? No.

Find it bewildering that Brazil sent their former president to jail for inciting insurrection and our country elects Trump president after his promotion of the insurrection of January 6th. The foundation of this republic is creaking.

You learn as you pre grieve for a loved one who will be passing soon, they no longer have interest in activities they used to enjoy. They are slowly shutting down, destined for final peace after all of their life’s events. You mourn wondering if your interest in life events will return without them.

First signs of light, early morning sad walk, wonderful wife in hospice, final stage dementia, so empty now, Spring Mountains, Pahrump, Nevada. We arrived 7 years ago, so happy, early memory loss present, but over time, dementia has destroyed her.
