This is an online program. We are living through a historic disruption in America. Baby boomers created modern American culture, politics, and economics but they are finally beginning to cede control to younger generations. What will happen when they are gone? Who will lead, where will we live, and what will it cost? How will it affect our culture and cultural institutions?
We live in an increasingly nightmarish world of shoot-first and forced-birth.
It's a world the vast majority of Americans *hate.*
It's imposed on us by a stolen Supreme Court and the fact that gerrymandered red states inhabited by a few crazy prospectors get two Senators.
If you’re someone who needs to relocate to a different location within the borders of the US but are not comfortable using ground transportation due to the locales through which you’d need to travel, I am willing to help by meeting you at your current location and driving your possessions to your destination while you travel via faster means. I have four weeks of PTO this calendar year and have yet to use more than a handful of days and I cannot think of a single way I could use them better than this.
If you need a hand with this, or know someone who does, please do slide into my DMs and I’ll give you my Signal contact info.
