Well thats just straight up pessimism without anything backing it other than depression.

Its ok to be worried that the worst can happen but just accepting it is not helpful. Things happen and change all the time. Better and worse.

I'll be back after November 4th; either to eat humble pie, or to see how you're holding up and if you learned anything.

Learned anything? I am learning stuff all the time. I just use that to adjust my view of the world not act smug about feeling bad about the world. There is no lesson that the world only gets worse.

I expect I'll be holding up better than you.
