fix this. We will also need at least 60 Dems in the senate (probably closer to 62-65 - there always seems to be a Manchin, Lieberman, Sinema, or Fetterman to stop anything really good from happening), control of the house, and a Democratic president to do anything about it. I guess a bunch of us will just have to die on the job in our 70's and 80's, provided AI doesn't take that away as well. At 57 years old I was looking forward to retiring in 10 years, but that may not work out so well as I had hoped.
