Last year, for me, was fantastic. The increase of my net wealth
increased considerably more than in the past. Far far more than
inflation.
I feel blessed.
Of course, you are a retiree of somewhat "prosperous" means, living off
of investments...
Try getting out of your "bubble" and talk to regular working class
folks...
Like the Hispanic maintenance engineer I chatted with today, with two
kids and a wife who is a CNA...
He saw me getting my Wal-Mart grocery order, and we discussed food
prices...
He said, "We spend a THOUSAND bucks a month on food/household stuff...
five years ago that was $500.00 or so..."
Me: "Wow!"
He: "Yeah, we voted for Trump..."
I did not ask him who he voted for...
Or I could tell the anecdote about the Mongolian Uber driver who had the
same concerns - this was the day after the election... as I exited after
our nice talk, he turned around beaming, saying, "Trump won!", and gave
a thumbs - up...
You, like Cindy, need to "get out more"...
Would you say about the peeps above "Let them eat cake"...???
ANYWAYS, Happy Nice Retirement, Ed...!!!

That questioning attitude
has obviously been with me since childhood and a good education
has prevented me going down the conspiracy theory rabbit-hole.
