 Woke up in the middle of the night just to think about how nowadays more than ever before, it seems like every other person, whether it's you or someone you know, is severely depressed, anxious, scared, and angry most of the time. And at the same time feels the noose of inflation tightening around their necks. 

Every other person, or even if it were one in every ten people, is a sign of a systemic problem rather than just something randomly wrong with people. The issue is that most of these people are being lied to constantly about what these systemic problems are... by the very people causing the real root problem in the first place: the ongoing and accelerating theft of humanity's wealth via money printing.

 Hi Jay,
It’s funny you posted this because I was also thinking about this. How many friends I have been chatting to who are struggling with both mental health matters and the cost of trying to live day to day. I often ask myself how I can support them as some are in very dark places and I feel helpless myself.

I do have to agree that the problem is everywhere and it’s affecting many more people than I remember being maligned as a child. All this “help” and “safety” we are having forced on us from our overlords isn’t helping at all. 
 Gm Jay tough times but we can pull through. Have a blessed day  
 We will, and you too 🫡🙏
