Travel.

There are two United States. A prosperous nation and a struggling nation. See both.

I’m from a now depressed rural town. When I periodically drive home it gets a little more ramshackle every year. My town had 20 operating dairy farms, now 0. Three industrial facilities, now one, which is now fully automated and employs security guards and guys to load trucks.

The best jobs are police, teachers and logistics people at a nearby distribution center.

I pay my entry engineers in real terms 15% less than I made 30 years ago. Housing is about 30% higher in real terms. Our benefit overhead grows 2x inflation.

Then travel abroad.
