3. That's a long and drawn-out story I would get banned for, but I can say that the first true turning point of the collapse was the Sexual Revolution and Second -Wave Feminism (First-Wave Feminism was beneficial). The end of the slippery slope plunging into a ninety-degree cliff was the Obergfell decision, which had roots in the partiality of Justice Kennedy in the Reagan years.

1. My maternal grandfather was born into abject poverty and clawed himself out and into the middle class, into which my mother was born. My father (and his parents) were financial geniuses and saved up fortunes as well as allowing us to amass wealth. My mother was a teacher (she retired last year) and my father is a banker at a rural credit union. He was appointed to CEO this year.

2. Things have remained the same. My father has budgeted years, if not decades into the future and we have not improved or decayed in our financial status. The only suffering the Kung Flu caused was physical and mental (at worst, my mother got it and was bedridden for nine days).

That's about all I can say in response to your question. I appreciate your interest in me and I am glad to talk to you about me and any questions you may have. If you would like to know or ask anything else, please do not hesitate to write to me.
