Slat, one explanation is uncertainty and loss of self. When I worked for the rail road we were constantly having retirees either committing suicide shortly after retiring or just dying shortly after. It seemed to happen too often and their spouse lived on.
I retired in July of 2016 after working at one thing or another for 60 years. The first 3 or 4 weeks were hell. I wasn't used to NOT having to get up early and go to work and early on I did get up, get dress and head out the door a few times only to catch myself. Add to that the discipline, the closeness of unit, the ugliness shared with others, in other words the loss of cohesion of being a part of oneness with others of the same mine set for years.
My Dad retired from the Marines in 1962 after 23 years and two wars. He wasn't fit for civilian life. The Marines took him back in and debriefed him. He retired with 26 years of service.
This isn't an only answer but may be a part of what is happening. I'm sorry for them all. Mike

Wrong, the left wants to do it with l*****t courts and outrageous acts, the right wants to follow the Constitution. Mike

Twitter CEO Shares And Raves About Article Calling For Dem Victory In Second ‘Civil War’

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey aroused controversy after labeling a Medium article “great” that claimed there’s no “bipartisan way forward” in the United States and that the country is engaged in a “fundamental conflict between two worldviews that must be resolved in short order.”
Dorsey shared the Medium article on his personal Twitter account Thursday night, with the accompanying acclaim that it was a “great read.”
Author and media consultant Peter Leyden and political commentator Ruy Teixeira argued in the article titled “The Great Lesson of California in America’s New Civil War” that America is already in the midst of a second major domestic conflict of sorts and the way out is for the rest of the country to imitate California.
“In this current period of American politics, at this juncture in our history, there’s no way that a bipartisan path provides the way forward,” they wrote. “The way forward is on the path California blazed about 15 years ago.”
Essentially, the authors called for a complete marginalization of the Republican Party and its v**ers since they only care “about rule by and for billionaires at the expense of working people” and not “average citizens.”
California, despite its mass wealth ine******y, growing lack of social cohesion, poverty, and soaring housing costs “provides a model for America as a whole,” according to Leyden and Teixeira. Interestingly enough, they claimed the state’s economy is booming, although arguably not for long. They also oddly claimed the state is running on surpluses without acknowledging its debt crisis.
“The public is happy with its political leaders,” they noted. However, California Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, has a 44 percent approval rating. The article also does not acknowledge that the state has seen tens of thousands of residents leave annually for the last few years.
Leyden and Teixeira are somewhat correct that America currently faces a dialectic of “two political cultures already at odds through different political ideologies, philosophies.” Yet, they do not call for Democrats to try to understand their political adversaries.
Instead, they proposed Americans “take the Republican Party down for a generation or two” in order to save the country.
“America can’t afford more political paralysis. One side or the other must win. This is a civil war that can be won without firing a shot. But it is a fundamental conflict between two worldviews that must be resolved in short order,” Leyden and Teixeira asserted.
Dorsey’s tweet comes in the midst of growing concerns about his website’s treatment of conservatives. Over the last few years, Twitter has banned a number of right-wing accounts that it says violate the site’s terms of service.
Critics say the site is selective in who it punishes and engages in so-called “shadowbanning,” which effectively makes a user’s post invisible to others without officially taking the account down.
Twitter has denied these allegations.
Dorsey’s tweet brings up a more fundamental question: If he agrees that the country is in the state of crisis that Leyden and Teixeira believe, does he feel an obligation to use all tools at his disposal to help the Democrats “win” this alleged second Civil War? Is Twitter — a social media site with considerable influence over the media’s day-to-day narrative — a vehicle for Dorsey to help accomplish this goal?
If the country is in as dire of a position as the Medium article claimed, how can Dorsey not feel an obligation to help steer the country away from collapse?
Dorsey did not respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment via Twitter after he disputed DCNF reporter Peter J. Hasson’s tweet that he “loves” Leyden’s piece.

Peewee, as if you don't read what's being said here. By saying I've been begging Sici to have patience I was saying I've been saying that to him for a long time and I'm done with it. It was meant to be a term of expression. You take it how ever you want.
By the way I've considered most here to be pretty educated and understanding, which I'm personally not educated, but I'm finding out that a lot of people here are can't comprehend crap. Mike quote=Peewee]Well, you said you were begging. If someone is begging me to do something I don't want to do, I consider that being pushy or pulling and emotional blackmail. Most men consider it nagging and h**e it. Ask me once maybe twice then accept my yes as yes and my no as no and stop bugging me. That's just the way I am, not saying it's right or wrong. It would just make me dig my heels in harder. If I offended you I apologize.
I often forget everyone doesn't think or feel like I do. Sici is a grown man and is entitled to his beliefs right or wrong and is also responsible for his actions right or wrong. He won't pay for our sins and we won't pay for his. His children may pay a price to the 3rd or 4th generation but not us.[/quote]

Doesn't need to ask for permission to ask for National Guard to go to the border. He isn't sending standing troops. Pay attention. Although I wish he was sending standing troops, locked and loaded. Mike

Peewee, I'm missing you on pushing and pulling him so I'll understand, doesn't matter though. I've been steadfast with Sici. If I'm wrong on that please explain so I'll understand. As I told him I'm no longer dealing on this subject with him. Mike

Mike, incrementlism, a little bite here and another little bite there. The reason they are taking a chomp now is two fold I think. One) They saw that the American people were catching on to the falsehood of o and the demoncrats and were trying to capture the undecided and hopefully change some minds. Desperation if you will. They are sick, rabid, but rabid animal doesn't know it is, doesn't realize it is vicious and evil, it can't see itself.
Two) They blame us for their adversity to the water of faith in God, morality, t***h and in general goodness to humanity. Just as a rabid dog can't stand water, neither can the left quote=2bltap]Ok I realize this is Alex Jones, But its not HIS VIDEOS THAT ARE IMBEDED. You all make up your own minds on this. quite frankly I dont give a rats ass as to how other people live their ives as long as it does not infringe on my life and values and it doesnt harm others. However, if we are all honest here the question as to why the whole boys and girls, men and women in the same bathroom issue comes up. Why was this such HUGE PUSH during the Obama administration? I like many both here on OPP as well as all over the the U.S. and the world had wondered why Obama and company would have developed some of the most destructive policies both foreign and domestic during is time in THE PEOPLES HOUSE? WHY? It will have to come from your own sense of decency and love of this country of ours. On the other hand if you dont give a s**t as to how you and I are governed then we are all screwed.

BR, as screwed up as things and people are now I'd be concerned. In my opinion let what is going down now continue for a while and depending what happens drop the hammer. Any move done wrong or at the wrong time could spell disaster. Mike

And Sici if that happens all hell will break loose and a lot of innocent people will be k**led along with a lot of guilty people. That is also the reason we can't do much until the stars are alined. Mikequote=Sicilianthing]>>>>

Peewee, I've been almost begging Sici to have some patience because I believe him to be a good man and a patriot but for wh**ever reason he is dead set to go. He doesn't understand the sequence that is required and that the time is not now. The necessary pieces aren't is place yet and if the move is made before all of the ducks are in a row it would probably spell disaster. Thanks for the very clear explanation. Hopefully it'll sneak into his earhole. Mike
