    • I have a great job but we might go public in 2025. So cue the layoffs
    • National Politics will have more impact on our lives than ever: will it be fascism trying to break give or will it be a democracy trying to improve our lives?

      If you don’t already know a close crew of friends, I would suggest starting an Empty Nesters In Training group.

      And also good luck with the job!
