Opinion Today: It’s OK to mourn the end of summer

The passing of a season is a good time for reflection.

Summer is ending again. Climate change has made it a hot one for many of us, but still: Vacations have been taken, inchoate romances found and lost, hydration sought, green leaves pondered.

I'm one of those people who, even during our best summers, wish a little for autumn. The wool and cashmere will come out, the linen and light cotton be put away. The rumble of the air-conditioner will no longer block the church bells from haunting my apartment. But no matter how much we love autumn, a seasonal change can be a time for reflection. We mull on what we've experienced, what we've lost, what we've gained. We think about our own choices, how we've dealt with another few months of life. The year is more than half-done, after all.

Cody Delistraty has thought a lot about grief — he's written a book on it, in fact. And Cody thinks that the end of summer is a space for grief, not the intense, soul-racking kind that comes with the loss of a loved one, but the kind that comes with reflection. We're thinking now, he argues, about the summers we've had, but also about how we may have failed to achieve what we wanted with the season. Maybe that just means a small sorrow that we didn't get to the beach quite as much as we'd have liked.

In a guest essay for Times Opinion, Cody argues that it's all right to grieve summer's end — and that doing so can be healthy. We should, he says, look back on our lives: journal, think, ponder. And if that means a little grief, that's OK.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corp Announces 63 Banks on Verge of Collapsing. What to do Now.

FDIC Announces 63 Banks on the Brink of Collapse Sitting on $517 Billion in Losses

Fears of Contagion Reignited by First Bank Failure of 2024

My Fellow American,

Higher interest rates have created 63 'problem banks' and $517 billion in unrealized losses, FDIC says.

The FDIC also said, "This is the ninth straight quarter of unusually high unrealized losses since the Federal Reserve began to raise interest rates in the first quarter 2022."

63 Banks? That is a lot of banks. That is enough to severely damage the entire banking system.

That's enough for thousands of people to lose their savings and retirement accounts.

But we shouldn't be surprised.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell told Congress back in March: "BANK FAILURES Will Start Soon.

He is expecting to see more bank's collapse.

Love him or hate him, Donald Trump saw this coming a mile away and tried to warn us.

He said: "WE WILL HAVE A GREAT DEPRESSION FAR BIGGER AND MORE POWERFUL THAN THAT OF 1929. AS PROOF, THE BANKS ARE ALREADY STARTING TO COLLAPSE"!!!

He was 1000% correct.

Seven Banks Have Collapsed in the Last 16 Months.

Clearly, this sits at the feet of Joe Biden and his economic and inflation policies.

Bank Failures are Picking up Momentum

On April 26, 2024, The FDIC seized Republic First Bank (dba Republic Bank) and just closed it down.

The media is keeping it under wraps. Why?

Here is a brief overview of the other banks that have recently collapsed:

  • Silicon Valley Bank
  • Signature Bank
  • First Republic Bank
  • PacWest Bank
  • Heartland Tri-State Bank
  • Citizens Bank

Some may argue that PacWest Bank didn't collapse; they were purchased. But they were only purchased because they were collapsing and could not cover depositor withdrawals. Bank of California scooped up all of PacWest's assets for pennies on the dollar.

If that's not enough.

Fed Chair Janet Yellen and Joe Biden told the Senate Banking Committee they are taking the U.S. National Debt to $50 trillion.

Are you prepared for HYPER-INFLATION?

Our system is already beginning to crumble.

It is time to protect yourself from the onslaught that is coming. It's time to prepare.
