The US that I grew up in is gone. This country is not what it used to be. Either that, or its true colors are finally showing. I put in an application to move to New Zealand last week but I already got a reply that they are not currently accepting immigrants at the moment...especially ones from the United States (they didn't actually say that, but I knew that they were thinking it!) Can't say that I blame them.
I would like go back to the way things were, when PHX stopped at Baseline Road on i-10, even when I-10 wasn't completed between PHX and Tucson.
But I don't want to go back to having to live in the high density urban ghetto that I grew up in. I've worked too long and hard to move myself out of that environment. And I feel no guilt of having taken advantage of the opportunities that god has placed before me, no matter what the seven major new corporations have drummed into everyone's mind.
Sobering post. Running away is so tempting but, where? I personally fluctuate from complete anger topped off with total disbelief in what is happening to uncontrolled tears. Wish I knew where I put my rose colored glasses, 😲.

Just my two cents
