This is part of the problem, too many people muddle through life either not paying attention or falling for idealistic utopias.
I am worried for myself now especially now that my mom is gone. I have gone literally from the shallow end of the spread sheet to the deeper end. What she left me has to last. I am afraid what one major thing could do to what she left me. Under the GOP it could wipe me out in short order. The GOP has sold far too many in the middle class and rural poor that if we simply keep doing what the rich want long term everything will be ok.
It is absolutely astounding that people still vote for that party after the economic mess Bush Jr left us.
it can and will affect you at some point especially health care, you have no choice but to get old.
We need to start holding Wall Street to account and start putting the bad gamblers in jail and stop allowing fine print scams. It even pisses me off today that Wells Fargo only got slapped with a fine and nobody went to jail for the scam they pulled. It pisses me off that nobody at Duke Energy went to jail for dumping coal ash in unsafe fashion, and they keep getting away with that shit because the GOP has had a average long term majority of power and simply take what should be illegal and write laws making bat shit insane policies legal.
Global oil is the biggest threat to our planet and species. It should not take a Nader to get global business to provide instead of exploit.
