The '90s were a lot of fun too. As I stare down the barrel of my 60th birthday next month, and watch the U.S. collapse and the world unravel, I can't help but be nostalgic about the mid-90s through about 2015, which in my opinion was peak America.

    Imagining the progression of the US as a chart, the post-2015 era would not be so much a slope, rathee a cliff. It's absurd how rapid thing have declined.

    On a positive note - good luck on your 60th, hope you have a grand one.

    Thank you so much! I'm having a bit of a renaissance. After exiting an unhappy marriage and spending several years recovering my mental and physical health, I'm in the best physical shape of my life and am having a lot of fun. While the state of world affairs is depressing, I'm moving forward with my plan to exit the U.S. and move to New Zealand for a fresh start.
