Doing OK. I got a new computer which no longer logged in automatically to this site. Took me a while to chase around finding the password. New computer teething problems...

Yes, I am wondering at this point about what will happen in the high when the crisis is not over yet. I can see a clear path to each true crisis problem being solved. All crises in the past have resolved in the progressive pattern. I see no reason they won't again. But proceeding under that assumption likely was very premature. I see Trump's legal problems catching up with him, and hopefully the Democrats pick up a few votes in the senate and kill the filibuster. The parts of the agenda that Manchin has been blocking may clear. Why wait to count your chickens until after they hatch? I might well go contemporary later.

I am not sure climate change is a crisis problem quite yet. Yes, addressing climate change is in Biden's agenda. Yes it must be focused on and seriously addressed. Still, it is not receiving the attention that Covid, the Black Lives Matter protests or the January 6 insurrection gathered. Some correct steps will be taken, but I feel this issue will become more worthy and central a few decades downstream.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
