Your analogy of the doctor’s fundamental theory to the current ridiculous state we are in is magnificent! I hope it’s not as bad as I think it will be… but, in some ways, I want it to be so horribly wrong and there would be NO way to blame “the libs.” All in all, I really just want us all to thrive. I fear we have too many more lessons to learn before it can be a time where we all really thrive and experience kindness, empathy, and generosity.

This is a hard part for me too: "But the issue here is that even if it's not that bad, it won't be for lack of trying."

Thank you word smith. You give the words to the feelings I have. I am as frustrated as Dr Semmelweis and may go mad as well trying to convey to my MAGA family why Trump, et tal, is not in the best interests of the population at large.

Thank you for your kind words. Maybe trick them into listening to my podcast :) Although I confess I haven’t had much luck either.

I’m sad too - and I am set financially - but I have empathy

Set financially until there's a global economic collapse. This could get really, really ugly. I hope we get through it. thanks for the comment!
