Milestones Falling

All sorts of milestones are tumbling in the past 30 days which makes me think if you predicted them 5 years ago, how crazy people would think it was:

1.  Confederate flags  coming down

2.  Gay marriages begin done all across the country

3.  Legal marijuana in 4 states ( OR, CO, AK, WA) + DC

4.  New awareness of etiquette for transgendered persons

And so forth.   I recall speaking on gay marriage 2 years ago.  The response was  "will never happen". Wrong

And Now Donald Trump is getting his a__ handed to him on saying that "All Mexicans are rapists".  Not a good idea to mess with millions of industrious people.  Much of the country is majority minority now.  Open your eyes.

There's a storm brewing and the Baby Boom Generation is not going to be ready for it.   In fact, they're hoping that they ride it out due to sheer numbers.  But we are on an unsustainable path as to spending, tax collection, social security, budgets compared to counter forces of demographic change, technology increases, and a shrinking job market.    I just hope that I can stay in front of the rolling ball.
