Hey I'm with you on this one Ireland. The accumulation of uncertainties on the planet and steemit platform have sent me away from daily blog posting. I have powered down. My local income stream and work has dried up here in South Africa this year with the melt down globally, and I think this may be true of half the planet right now. I may need to sell all my steem for food. If I can even sell it. And now it's worth peanuts.
