Thoughtful article, George Dillard.

Normal is dull. Shocks make us use our brains and skills to invent and modify our world for the better.

There are shocks upon us that we barely realize, such as moving away from work as the center of our lives. I invite you to read "Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! Cry the Politicians."

Others are that crypto money will become common and lift millions around the globe from poverty. And (hopefully) a realization that more trade and immigration, and not walls, increase our security and prosperity.

Many thanks. Best 2023.
