This is just like, the worse. fucking. year.

I was talking to a friend the other day, about Toys R Us closing, and we discussed a bit about how we both share concerns about how the way America pursues materialism and consumerism might not be the healthiest way we go about things. We wondered if there's some kind of unseen light at the end of the tunnel here, what it might or might not look like, and how we'd end up getting there. The thing is, all of this shit's happening so fast, we just don't really know how to take it all in, and shit seems to be speeding up. To the two of us, this feels like a genuine economic crisis unfolding.
