March 1933 The Enabling Act becomes law in Germany, giving the chief executive power enforce his own laws without checks and balances.

Right now, we have 50,000 projects, creating jobs & opportunities, thanks to President Biden's infrastructure law. I'm especially proud to see projects like the one we're investing in at Missoula Montana Airport, which is under budget & ahead of schedule. nbcmontana.com/news/local/tr…

Powerful story. One lesson I see here: find a career you can do for a very long time, or think of a transition plan from your career to something else that gives you purpose and joy, while retaining your identity.

Make sure you know what you're retiring to.
This was a hard post to write.
I almost didn't write it in fact. I've started and trashed this story many times.
But I believe there are important lessons in this story we can learn from.
Warning: this does not have a happy ending.
