The essential problems is the cost of essentials has gone up so much, that imagining a nice future where you retire comfortably is hard! If housing and healthcare cost a lot that makes getting old scary! I need a house and a healthcare when I’m old 😔 I will not need a cheap tv

The Mittelwerk episodes are a great series, just wanted to say! You should have somebody on to talk about Mittelwerk in culture after the war (Gravity's Rainbow, V-2 Schneider, etc).
