It Was the Best of Times, It Was the Worst of Times

OR, a tale of ups and downs


Lots of things seem to be getting worse, at least if you read the internet ever


This is not an episode to say, “nothing is getting worse,” but that what you hear about is probably not very correlated with what’s going on.


I’m leaving abortion out of this because honestly I can’t even deal with this shit right now. 


Major problem with talking about trends: how long are we talking here? A lot of stuff goes up and down. If you just look at this year and extrapolate, then the stock market trends down, which it obviously doesn’t. So we’ll do our best, I’m focusing on the current adult generation (Millennials/GenX), but keep all that in mind.
