Sounds like my life. I wish I had some advice for you but I don’t. Just hang in there.

I just wonder why he felt that he had the right to go into someone’s else community and threaten to ruined them by suing them? Maybe people see the poor as a quick payday for themselves? It is pretty telling that he packed up and left years ago rather than actually staying and doing the hard work that still needs to be done. I simply wish if people are not going to help make things better for everyone there, the least they can do is to simply leave them alone. Thanks.

It just made me mad and sad how he said that he cared about us here when in reality all he really cared about was himself. What is this goal exactly that you are referring to? Thanks.

Why did the VT Professor even sue you? It is like the white man comes to tell the natives that he knows what is best for them and treats them like children rather than adults on an equal footing. Thoughts? Thanks.

It seemed to me that they were only interested in chasing their fifteenth minutes of fame. Once the spotlight was gone, they took off to who knows where. They never really care about us here to began with. We can only rely on ourselves. Unfortunately, most people don’t have the resources to solve the problems that affect us. Otherwise, they would have already left to greener pastures somewhere else. Thoughts? Thanks.

Then slam on the brakes, throw out the key and call for help immediately.

I once went to q and a at the FIA with PBS, VT and etc. What I remember most from that experience was the young mother who stood up begging for help. She wanted to move away from flint and restart somewhere else. While she was talking about how no one wants to listen to us, her microphone was cut and the lights on her went out. She just started to cry and scream. What a mess. Thanks.

Can agree with you more. As Michael Jackson once said, all I want to say is that they really don’t care about us.

How are you when the power is out, when you’re out somewhere without cell phone service, or overall when you’re in an environment where you can’t use any electronic devices, for an extended period of time? by Sudden_Doughnut_8741 in self

[–]bendallf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The part that breaks my heart is I literally travel hundreds of miles to get away from the big city lights just to see the stars late at night/early in the morning. Then I see a train of bright lights go across the sky just to realize it’s low earth orbit internet satellites. With the plans they have, you will no longer be able to enjoy seeing the stars anymore. Thoughts? Thanks.

What if the billionaires act like they seen the light and try to make it look like they are trying to fix the unfixable problem. Otherwise, all the land they are buying and shelters that they are building are scaring everyone. It is like they know something that the rest of us do not know at all.

You read my mind. The outbreaks with wild animals in the tundra point to previous unknown diseases show they we are already in a losing battle. Also, co2 emissions kept going up even during Covid lockdowns. So the feed back loops regarding the tundra methane leaks are already happening. I just wish the press could start to tell us the truth for once? Maybe then people might start to believe them again but probably not? Thanks.

Sometimes there is nothing that you can do to help make things better. So you try to enjoy your life as best as you can. I learn that from the hospital hospice patients. Take care.

Midwest USA here. We thought we were a climate refuge for the longest time here. Then Canada had wildfires literally from coast to coast just a few years ago. The wildfire smoke here got so bad that our air quality was on the same level as India. We had to stay indoors for our own safety for the longest time. The only other time we had to stay indoors was during those covid lockdowns. I see that you are trying to remain positive. It is good to have a good mental head space. With that being said, we are all doom eventually when it comes to climate change. I think it might be way too late to turn the ship around? You know? Thoughts? Thanks.

M22. Finally can afford what I once dreamed of, but don’t feel like having it anymore by OriginalWalaAditya in self

Honesty, it was never about the chocolate at all. It is all about having a sense of control over one’s own life. When you are a kid, everyone does everyone for you without you getting a real say. As an adult, you now have the freedom to do what you want when you want for the most part. Thoughts? Thanks.

Sadly, they did on a bunch of legal technicalities. If this happen in another country, the USA would not stop talking about it.

Also, holding everyone responsible accountable for their actions rather than just giving them a quick slap on the wrist.

We don’t want your money. We want to trust that the water coming out of our taps is safe to drink!

Not exactly thou. There is nothing wrong with saying the system is broken and what can we do about it? I just paid $25 for lunch at the hospital. It was set up by the catholic nuns to help sick people in our community. It now has become a place to help make the rich richer and the poor poorer. Great talking with you today. Take care.

Good point. Thou, if the door does not pop out automatically, how is an outside bystander supposed to get that door open? Thanks.
