        And our social contract may be expiring

        It’s been shredded already.

          Despite this fact, a lot of us are still holding up our end of the bargain. How do I quit?

        It’s done.

        BUT… some of the more sane sympathizers are starting to realize the King is insane, and are pushing back. Not saying that’s going to save us peasants. but it’s a sign.

          Yeah, the Republic fell a month ago with the first times they ignored the courts and some people seem to think they can give it TV style CPR and get right back to where we were on Jan 18 like nothing ever happened.

          Babies, the damage is done. And it’s not even over yet. Place your bets now on 2040 turning the corner back to stability. A lot will come to pass between now and then. That’s 15 years from now. We have passed a generational level of work to rebuild after only 80-some days.

          If you don’t already have an actionable plan for what to do next, with defined tripwires of when to do what, you’re very late to the party. Not too late, but late.

        Expiring contract? You got traded to El Salvador for a 3rd round pick in 2048 and cash considerations.

        Time to get a new agent for a real contract. Unions won them to begin with, which is why they’re a main target of every authoritarian regime.
