    I feel this way but I’m not trying to convince people to give up. I’m trying to convince people not to assume “things will just work out”. My boomer parents keep asking me why I’m not jumping into the housing market or making other major financial decisions. They act like the structure I’d need to be in place to mitigate possible risks will definitely be there. “You’ll have social security, your pension, etc because there’s no way they can get rid of those things.” I say bullshit. I’m in a holding pattern until we find the end of how much the GOP is able to burn down.
