Reading this quote makes me bullish on the builders who are preparing for the first turning and not fretting the fourth turning.
"Preseasonality is as functional as postseasonality is dysfunctional. We admire preseasonal purpose when we see it in people. Indeed, America's best-remembered presidents displayed this in deed or oratory before they were elected. The Crisis-era steadfastness of Washington and Eisenhower foreshadowed the coming Highs, making both generals enormously popular choices for presiding over those eras."
-William Strauss, Neil Howe. The Fourth Turning
