Folks, I don't think we will EVER fully appreciate the economic impact covid has had not in long covid, not in mass death, but in a population that is mentally diminished.
I have spent no less than ONE HOUR attempting to get a WIRE TRANSFER set up.
Folks, wire transfers have existed since the telegraph was invented. This is one of the SIMPLEST ways to move money from one place to another.
I am catching multitudes of mistakes.
This is INSANELY DISTURBING.
I am noticing this issue throughout this entire home buying process. People are making PROFOUND mistakes.
What this becomes is one other facet of the destruction of public health and safety.
Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, sanitation, transportation, etc WILL BE AFFECTED.
Ex: Get an HVAC contractor in to repair a gas furnace, but a part is installed incorrectly, causing your entire family to die of carbon monoxide poisoning while they sleep.
Gee whiz. Massive abusive tech surveillance company doesn't do what they promised. Shocking NO ONE.

Remember when we used to make fun of the Soviets for their shabby buildings, crap they made never worked, fell apart, it was all phony and brutalist and awful?
It's probably pretty selfish of me, but one of the things I am excited about moving to a new town is that the town is mostly populated by people who are connected to the university.
We may possibly be able to make some friends among people more like us.
I simply cannot relate to most people any deeper than small talk and I loathe small talk. Hoping to find others like me.
