I'm pushing half a century in an industry that is not kind to old guys. I try to fend it off but every now and then it hits me. I'm pretty sure this is not unique to my life experience, or it wouldn't have a term :-)

Same.

Its taking a long while to not still have moments of dread though.

World's fucked and burning. Somehow that's partisan.

Almost 15% of the population of my country thinks climate change is fake news.

Massive corruption in the highest levels of government, which no one can apparently do anything about.

Massive wealth inequality, American dream is dead.

No one can afford a house because of the wealth inequality and companies like blackrock buying them all..

Also, we are going over the tipping point for mass extinction.

Yeah we are totally fucked in every direction. Time to do some drugs about it I guess.
