Well, I was wrong!!! But I do not regret my optimism. It made these past few months bearable.
I also do not regret that I live in a bubble that gave me said optimism! My worldview is still that people are good, because I surround myself with good people. Will continue to do so!
It's crazy to me that we get older people are going to view physical book collections like record/vinyl collections. Completely unnecessary but "vintage"
