Recommend a classic: W. Bridges' Transitions: Making Sense of Life's Changes
Ending – Letting go of the old identity, role, or way of life.
Neutral Zone – A liminal, in-between phase filled with uncertainty, confusion, and possibility.
New Beginning – Emerging with a new identity or sense of purpose

Mary Midgley, Philosophical Plumbing. "Mary Midgley once argued that philosophy is, among other things, like plumbing. Both deal with complex, underlying systems that support our lives. And both go largely unnoticed until something goes wrong."

I'd write about the difference between Ethics (normative/"ought") and What-I-Care-About (Frankfurt)... using concept of volitional necessity. I could write on 6 hours on that... It's on my mind these days as I write about the philosophy of retirement.

Were you already signed up for electronic delivery only? Maybe this was their way of just saying you're not getting a paper statement, or should I say <i>Statement<\i>, anymore. Creepy vibe, though. I did not get it, but I'm set for electronic only.

There IS a grand plan.... crash the economy and then buy up companies on the cheap.

This is on purpose. It's in the playbook.... crush the economy and then billionaires can buy up companies cheaply. The scary part is that he DOES know what he's doing and so we know what's in store...more of this.

And if it's left up to the states, only the red states will do it, so all the more suppression of R votes overall.

I wonder if it would actually come out as suppressing more R votes than D votes. Women in the US: White 63%, Black 13.7%. White women went for him at 53%. Not sure the Black women ~90%? I don't know the demographics of married v unmarried/married-w-no-name-change. but less R votes, I bet.
