I'm taking a break from extra online activities, which means I'm taking a break from posting here as well. I closed my Netflix account, a couple of other online subscriptions, paid access to NYTimes articles, a payment service, an email account and a few other online distractions. 100% of my online efforts will be on domains I own once again.
Watching record crime rates, record inflation, record gas prices, an economy in worse shape than it's been since WWII and even spending on war have weighed heavily on me lately. Watching friends and neighbors lose their jobs, their homes and their businesses the past couple of years has been difficult.
A sign these things would be short lived would have been welcome, but it seems they will continue to worsen. So be it. While it's in my nature to look out for others first this feels different. Not preparing for hard times is preparing to suffer in hard times so it's time(for me, you do you).
Of the bright side of all the impending job losses, according to Mr Zuckerberg et all, is a boon in new potential writers looking to share their expertise to make ends meet. I'd hire a few of those if I were you.
Good luck!
