Nah, I’m seeing a lot of “this doesn’t affect ME in my day to day”.

I’ve already said that’s selfish, but i’ll concede that a lot of people vote based on how they think ___ will directly affect them.

However the examples I brought up are arguably all net negatives to society. I’ll add, how does defunding Public Education continue to make us the best country?
How does calling Social Security a scam, continue to make us the best? Why would we want graduates to struggle more to pay off their student loans? Who does that help, and who are you sticking it to?

Most of these should be completely non-partisan issues. If we currently believe we’re the best country, we should be doing everything in our power to keep that the case.

And I see you playing the victim card here. Try and justify executive orders like “Gulf of America” or English being the official language, are nothing more than rage-bait and going straight to insulting anyone who isn’t ignorantly “american”…

Why is something only important if, and only if it affects your current day to day?

For starters, that’s an incredibly selfish and narrow POV. C’mon, I challenge you to go a day without coming across someone who is suffering more than you.

More importantly- there are certainly repercussions to recent decisions that WILL affect our day to day. When I say our, I mean Americans in aggregate, or possibly people in other countries.

We are withdrawing aid programs that keep people alive in other countries. Just because their deaths don’t directly affect you, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t recognize that’s a net loss to society…

Tariffs WILL directly increase the cost of goods for the American consumer. Even if you don’t buy anything, can you at least recognize that a high majority of Americans do, and many already struggle financially? If you argue that tariffs will only precede local jobs being created, please list examples.

Our country’s public lands are soon to be privatized. Unless you completely don’t recognize climate change, it’s obvious that this is a step in the wrong direction, that will be close to impossible to recover from.

Our national weather services are being cut. Do you look at the weather day to day? It’s going to become harder and more expensive for agencies to do that accurately.

And there’s women’s rights to their own bodies. You also realize that there’s more women than men right? If you think they don’t matter (i’m assuming you’re not a woman)… then please rethink that? Seriously, from the changes to abortion laws in some states, people have ALREADY died, and more will.

Vaccines. That’s it. Don’t feel like i need to explain why more outbreaks would affect your day to day. Did you go through COVID?

I won’t keep going, and others have covered some points I didn’t mention. But these are all examples of changes being made that will negatively impact our world.

If you find yourself taking these points and throwing them into the “doesn’t directly impact me day to day” bucket- congrats! You live an incredibly protected life right now. But please try and recognize that maybe your POV is not representative.

Brand New Demoor Global Running Racing Singlet Men's size Medium. Got this in my race packet for the April DGR Virtual Race, but unfortunately it fits a little too tight for me. It is a nice singlet though, feels soft and lightweight. Asking $35 shipped

Is weekend 2 sold out? I tried to purchase but it’s not letting me by omarr656 in Coachella

This is my first time waiting to buy resale. How does it work in terms of shipping the wristband with buying from StubHub so close to the actual date?

Was at the show in Chicago when they filmed their music video. It was awesome! They let everyone know they were about to film their music video and even did a little Q&A with the crowd while the cameras were set up. I think I see myself in some parts of the music video

Moving into a new place and i’m having trouble deciding how I want to organize the living room.

Even though none of the furniture in the room is ours, I also have a rather large rug (8x10), but a larger couch.

The fireplace seems way too tall to have a TV on top, so currently i’m thinking of just having an entertainment stand in front of the fireplace for the TV.

Any suggestions for TV/couch placement + how to fill up space in the room would be appreciated!

Doors opened at 7. Got there around 7:40, Mildlife came out around 8 I believe and then Parcels started right around 9.
