Come on old boy, get off the couch ... there is a one in fifty chance that you will make a few bucks in this thing over time. Become a millionaire ? probably not .. but you can't take it with ya anyway.
I get the sense a lot of us are way over 65 anyhow so those SSB should warm your heart once a month as you sink them into the next disruptive technology.
By the way, people selling hope do so all around us. On TV, newspapers, magazines, and all the internet based nonsense we see an idealized form of life ...... its messing us up and it is a shame to see it doing the same to our children and grandchildren. The bright side .. it has happened this way since the dawn of time so take heart, we are not that different or cursed.
