I can't speak for others, but the solving real problems path has been stochastic, and branching. You're on unpaved roads, the wheels are going to spin in the mud at times. You can just add power (capital) and blast through, but we have partners and clients who will jump in the mud with us to help.

Our gen is suffering from the same ills plaguing millenials and younger. Whether through divorce, multiple international financial crises, or... or.... or...We've been in the slow boil version of what's facing our young people. Multi-gen co-op housing is starting to look very appealing.

Ahhhh Callmangler. It’s what got me into working on “the new thing”. Changed my life. It might have been around 2001 though…not..that…..long……..oh. *shuffles off to greybeard corner.
