Kansas proved how stupid their Supply Side/ Trickle Down bullshit really is.
we should not even need that. we see historically it results in short term boost and long term suffering. we keep digging that hole lower and don't understand how we are not getting out.
Well sources are nice to have regardless of how blatantly obvious
yeah. unfortunately we live in an age where we constantly have to prove that vaccines and masks are good for preventing contagion and the earth is getting hotter due to us putting various things in the air and that water is wet.
My anxiety is skyrocketing as it seems it's just bad news after bad news. I've been in tears about the recent India heatwave.
Unfortunately its hard to give comfort from my perspective as I getcha and we see the stuff and we know its from stuff we saw coming but the ones with money and power call the shots. I think Ive felt similarly with like bombed out complexes with ukraine. I mean like even if they were all alive the thought of all those homes gone. We have a building across the street that had a fire like a half decade ago. It mostly rebuilt but still surrounded by construction fence. I don't think anyone living there before will be living there when its finally occupable again. Im sorry I don't mean to add to the stuff I more want to relate that you are not alone. Other people see it and are sad, depressed, anxious, etc. it sucks and yeah I hate it.
Thanks for getting it. I need to spend more time outdoors because it's so distressing and me being miserable doesn't help anyone.
yeah the things that bring me the greates comfort is pets, the outdoors, and being immersed in water.
You're speaking my language! I'm cuddling with my cat right now and planning a camping trip with a swimming hole for the weekend. Life ain't so bad after all
