No worries here. It is actually a much nicer commentary than expected. There are certainly lots of problems. I live in Ohio and so while winters get cold, they are nothing like Canada. The IT jobs here all have to do with insurance, banks, grocery, etc. Not a lot to choose from. Steady but boring work so the coasts are where all the action is at. The world is suffering under a lot of bad decisions and the lack of our leaders to do anything about them. We now get to live with the consequences. I fear it is going to take a long time to get out of this mess.
