The bees were just lazy and couldn’t pull themselves up by their bootstraps. The survivors will surely be stronger.
Life is like a garden. If you want to sit around and curse at the thistles and weeds, you can, but they will continue to grow as you fixate on them. If you see beauty and follow it, then cultivate it, you will be in a beautiful garden. It’s not instantaneous, and it takes work. The work starts in your mind. Negative thoughts will blind you to good opportunities. If you don’t know where you’re going, any place will get you there. Maybe a good place to start is finding the tolerable humans, and see where it takes you.
There’s probably a lot that could be recovered from my urine. Fun fact when phosphorus was first discovered they had to boil off gallons of urine to get a useful amount, so they collected barrels of urine from mining camps.
Healthcare, food, and housing for the poor.
I voted against it because it tied minimum wage to the consumer price index, but not to the cost of living. CPI measures the inflation of goods and services only, not the cost of housing. Housing costs have outpaced inflation. We need to set a minimum living wage based on rent and food. If corporations and foreign investors are allowed to own housing, this problem won’t get better. We don’t need a law that is instantly outdated, and keeps people in poverty.
Nobody is judging you anymore. You’re free to live how you want to. Most people struggle to find a balance between working and life. So you’re not alone there.
I met this traveling nurse who spends fall, winter and spring working, and then spends summer traveling and hiking in the mountains. I met a teacher who does the same. There are many seasonal workers who put in a lot of work in a burst and then take time to themselves - firefighters, wine grape harvest, ski lift/resort.
Keep an open mind, and live simply. Keep few possessions which add a lot of value to your life. Think of what you want to do, then figure out how to get there. At least then if you are working a boring job, it is moving you toward your own goal.
