Terrified… I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what anyone can do about all of this… Can anything be done about this mess? People have been trying to make things not relentlessly terrible all the time starting from their local levels for decades, centuries even, and things are still fucking awful. Less awful, of course, but that’s not the same as not awful. And it seems like a lot of the bad news is a lot bigger, more frequent, and goes on longer than any good news I’ve seen and it feels like all anyone has to say on it is either “OH GOD WE’RE ALL DOOMED” or “[insert vague platitude here]”. That or “MWAHAHAHA I’M GOING TO MAKE THINGS WORSE” because apparently a lot of politicians love acting like Hitler and a cartoon villain had a baby and they’re what came out. Ridiculous. ~Cherri
Then billionaires will hoard it for themselves and maybe give some crumbs to the peasants. ~Cherri
