The line "one day they will see it's long gone" haunts me. That, with the line about watching the markets crash. I wish I could comment on what it means, but it strikes me more as how it feels - like we are a nation or a generation of people cut off from our moorings and set adrift, and even though we knew it all going to happen, we weren't ready for it when it did.

Very well said.
