Ugh. I’ve never gotten over losing my newspaper career in 2015, tbh. I never found a good job again and have been just freelancing and doing Medium and Substack ever since. My kids are grown and my old house is nearly paid off and our cars are ancient, so we can get by without a lot. Still, it sucks so much, and you have my sympathy. For that to happen as our country implodes is rough AF.
