[quote=FlyerInHi]Flu, I sorta agree with “not my problem”. But I want to stay informed and knowledgeable about our world.
I don’t want to be the dumb shits who pontificate about Syria but don’t know the difference between Shia, Sunni and Alawites.
I’m cool as an ice cube and don’t let any of this personally upset me in any way. I find it highly entertaining. It’s like going to the zoo while reading my iPad in the toilet. I do that a lot since I eat lots of veggies.
Also, as responsible citizens we have to be angry that our country is being destroyed, but we can t be cynical or bitter.[/quote]
Mad? Why? There’s nothing to be mad at. This is how democracy works. If enough people want to go down a terrible path, that’s choice…. Those people voted for this. Those people deserve to have everything that’s going to happen to them. Again, not my problem.
Getting left out of trade deals that would give opportunities to middle class americans? Not my problem.
*Removing restrictions off nutritional guidelines for public school meals… Again, not my problem…My kid will brown bag their lunch.
*Removing EPA rules/ OSHA rules…CA usually leads environmental laws/workplace regulation wrto the rest of the nation (I hate CARB, but in spirit I get it)….But if we have mines that collapse in places like West VA…Again, not my problem..
*Can’t find a doctor in the rural rustbelt states, where the majority of the doctors are foreign/visa doctors who are the only ones willing to work for substandard pay in those impoverished areas… Again, not my problem.
*Want to gut obamacare so the majority of the people in this country with some sort of preexisting condition (high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity,etc)…can no longer find insurance…Again not my problem.. While we are at it, why not repeal social security too. Why should I save for other people who cannot save for themselves… Again, not my problem.
People voted for this… The WANTED it to happen… And again, not my problem.
