My grandpa lived to 105. Those last years living in nursing homes are not the best years of our lives. The rest of our lives now include either 20 years of undoing the damage the maniac is doing, or living under a country ruled by his successors. I'm having a hard time getting through each day as it is. I've never been so unhappy and pessimistic about the future. I have very low hope for planet Earth becoming 1 world of cooperating countries for the good of all.
