Book Review: Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century by Jessica Bruder

 Very informative & entertaining, the story of the many, many people who are aging, lack a fiscal safety net, & have low incomes & net worth. They can afford neither a fixed address nor a traditional retirement. This books tells how they live. One can view it as depressing - & it is - but there is something to admire about the spirit these people exhibit. They are definitely showing resilience & fortitude in the light of a nearly impossible situation. There but by the grace of god, go any number of us & things are more likely to get worse than better in the absence of a significant political change of direction.
