This is one of the things that I feel very badly about these days (aside from Ukraine, Covid deaths, political divisions in the US). I am an aunt, and a Great Aunt to more than a few, and I am sad that they will be bearing the brunt of this mess. Having been in Health Care my whole adult life, it is also sad that no one in my family has followed behind me, though many are working in education. Thank you for another great newsletter.

As a retired naval architect, I can see that the engineering jobs in naval architecture have tremendous promise. They are extremely interesting jobs that pay well. Humans are venturing ever further across and deeper down into the seas for resources and services. I continue to be amazed at the variety of vessels plying the oceans for a seemingly infinite number of purposes. Shipbuilding and boat building on all scales is alive and well, and I think will contine to be for decades to come.

I just left a comment on a linked in forum on whether or not broadband would save our rural communities. My response was along the lines of David's. Healing the planet is what it is going to take to bring prosperity to future generations. Check out ProseprityForRI.com for more of my thoughts on how to create prosperous communities on a depleting planet

Dear Buddy,

Thanks for another thought provoking newsletter.

I'm grateful for two sons who are in climate-proof professions of environmental public health and ecology & evolutionary biology.

They are both minimalists and vegan.

We learn so much from our children, just like Hilary and David learn from you.

Peaceful blessings,

KdeM
