The funny thing is I don't feel particularly hopeless. More of a weary resignation.
I no longer expect anything to really change except maybe around the edges a little bit.
The funny thing is, when I gave up on expectations, things seemed a bit easier and not so bleak.

I no longer expect the economy to improve in any significant way for the foreseeable future.

I figured out that the expectations were what caused most of my anxiety.

I still pop in here at DU to see which way the wind is blowing, but I've mostly avoided politics for the last 5-6 months.
I think I'll try to keep that streak going.
