      because from there, you either drown, or turn around, lift yourself up, and get help.

      Seems like most Americans would rather drown

          I think it’s really a failure (or sabotage) of public education. People just don’t know things, and sometimes because no one told them. Or didn’t show them in a way that resonates emotionally.

          Like, you can tell people that there was polio but that’s just like your opinion man.

          I partly blame YouTube et al for letting garbage proliferate on their platforms, too.

      I want America to change, a failing America will likely go to war to maintain its Imperialism. I suspect this is about to happen.

      We need to move forward and create something better. We can’t go backwards to get to the future.

          You would hope it would be a wakeup call but we are already too broken and divided by design. The US was founded by the wealthy for the wealthy. We have excelled at taking what is not ours and exploiting resources to the detriment of the world’s ecosystem.

          We have become the world’s biggest problem and spread our fascism across the planet.

          I would be a lot more gloom and doom if I also didn’t know that life has improved dramatically for billions of people in the last twenty years.

          At any rate, thanks for talking.

    I have applied to hundreds of positions in the last couple of months to no avail. I’m convinced every posted position is fake.

    Okay, so are these the real numbers or are these the, “please don’t fire me like the last person, I swear I can make them not as bad” numbers?
