Agreed on the points about the west. And yes some hardship will remain. It's hard to imagine a world with none.

I don't think depression and suicide is new, it's been around for a long time. I just think these things are getting worse, and it's a red flag for me.

Ultimately, time will tell how all this will turn out, and it's out of my hands (not that it was ever in them) 

 Yeah I agree with this 🫡 also thank u for the conversation! 

 Likewise. I appreciate you, and glad there are people like you who look forward and are hopeful. I was never good at that. 

 Both are important, I appreciate your perspective & you! I tend to befriend the ones who don’t think exactly like me, I love a challenge.
