private school

 Frankly, going to a fancy private school is a big investment in both a parent's time as well as money. It will increase the chance of college success. Notice that I said increase. Hey, I certainly did NOT say assure.

rent prices

 Oh no, rent prices go up. The poor are being hit hard as inflation rages on. It is not just gas prices any more. Do take a look at what is going on... like in your grocery. Food has become a luxury now... the prices keep going up. Yeah, things have become very expensive.

pronouns

 I keep hearing about preferred pronouns. This is a new issue. Don't remember hearing about this one many years ago. Back then people pondered on other issues... for example, a looming thermonuclear war.

Nostalgia

 Nostalgia consists of a lot of warm memories. Yeah, we do love to have a brief period of reminiscence. Still, life goes on. Model T Fords are a glimpse of a past that never was.

Ukraine war

 Ukraine war is an economic crisis. This is bad for all of us. Expect fuel prices to go up. Basically, we need to learn how to live in peace. I wish there was no more war. However, we need to prepare for what is coming soon.

Photographers

 Photographers have had their businesses totally devastated by corona virus. It is so hard to pick up some pieces. Well, there is still an omicron wave. Don't know just when people will come in for classic portraits if ever. Maybe, our answer is never.

moon

 Abandoned rocket hits our moon. Do wonder what Elon Musk says about this one. Yeah, it is a sorry saga. Could be that we need to protect what is ours. Still, the moon does not have an owner.
