I’ll go with number 2 this week even though I can’t relate (at all!) to arguing much less fighting over politics, candidates and political parties. Both are bought and paid for by Wall Street and large corporations and are beholden to them, and their bottom lines.
Less than 60 people own half or slightly over half of America’s wealth. It’s wrong, infuriating but what can I do? I used to hear my grandparents say “vote the bums out.” Sounds fine in theory, except they’ll be another group, then another one and another one because it’s a rigged system for rich. That’s why I’m an Independent and generally never get too aggravated with it until I became a furloughed employee, having to sweat it out since July to the whims of politicians (McConnell/Pelosi/Mnuchin/Meadows) and Congress and the Senate, torturing already suffering Americans to the brink with monetary mirage promises just up ahead in the distance.
Going on vacation after vacation; must be nice! Canada, Denmark, Ireland, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Japan and so many other countries actually CARE, a lot, about their citizens and not corporate profit over EVERYTHING else. Maybe, just maybe ours will do something for us soon. We’ll see. The house is burning down; might be a good time to finally call the fire department! Still, I’m doing MY part and getting my vote envelope mailed in this week.
