Oh I am not really, plenty of people worse off than me sadly. At least I can still work, even if it is occasionally very painful. Though my heating boiler did just die, and I had to buy a new one, damn you trump!!!! 
It's all Trump's fault. Hope things improve in your world.
At nearly 68 I am still working. Keeps me off the streets.

Someone said that Trump was considering a 90-day pause on the tariffs. The market ticked up briefly before the rumor was debunked. We're in the mass hysteria phase, I think.

His method is to keep everyone confused. Or he's confused. But it's now the United States of Confusion either way.

My AIO has a limited lifespan, but I can just switch to an air cooler when the time comes. My rig is adequate for what I do.

Rand Paul is pushing to end the stupid emergency declared for fentanyl from Canada. Broken clocks.
