i don’t know about you, but i definitely feel a shift in how we live in this world. day-to-day life feels a bit slower. receiving amazon deliveries the next day seems the norm, and whether or not your favorite restaurant will be closed due to staffing or delivery limitations is increasingly common. it’s not rare for apps on your phone to be buggy with the latest release, or for the remodeling of your home to take twice as long or cost twice as much as it did pre-pandemic. as i write this, there’s daily news about the fallout from the failures of ftx in the crypto markets, and the war in ukraine has continued for almost a year.
