Am rejuvenating this thread as I had come to mention the current much worse malaise over another thread where I indicated that much of the fun in life seems to have vanished in recent years, long before the pandemic hit. Will invite anyone to take a stab at crafting a 2020s version of a malaise speech. Began this thread to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the fabled Carter malaise speech, sans the actual word, in July of 2019, pre-pandemic.
