How are you doing DU?

I recall following the last election being so stunned at the results. One thing I read that stuck with me was that attention to social issues are generally a by product of privilege. I had never thought about it in those terms before. It was an explanation of the results suggesting a lot of people were financially struggling, which was a major influence on the results.

Since the election, I have gone from financially comfortable to precarious currently at best. I feel as though I am dancing on the edge of a cliff. So even though Trump's absurdities are worsening, honestly, it doesn't affect me like it did. How are you doing this evening DU?
