The title nods to Ronald and Nancy Reagan, casting Apathy as a child of the \u201980s raised under the shadow of Reaganomics. But this isn\u2019t just a trip down memory lane\u2014it\u2019s a reflective deep dive into the socio-political climate that shaped his youth, told with the masterful penmanship fans have come to expect from the CT legend.
