I’m really worried about the state of the US despite being a white male who was I’ll coast right through it. I’ll also accept “I don’t” and “very poorly” as answers
Life’s pretty good here in Australia. No neighbours on the border causing problems, weather is generally good, lots of wide open empty nature to get out of the city, average salary is $93k and unemployment is low, crime is low. Inequality is a problem although our Gini coefficient has actually lowered recently. There’s a lot of life to enjoy, and really the endless stream of negativity is only experienced through the media, not in real life, so I switched off the TV and just focus on what’s going on around me, enjoying the people, places and activities that I like, and things feel quite positive.
Turn off the news, it’s bad for the psyche.
There’s plenty of bad shit here too.
The country voting to not recognise that the traditional owners deserve a voice.
Our government continuing to fuel the climate apocalypse.
Housing affordability is locking basically every young person out of the market.
A lot of my friends are losing their jobs because the economy says they aren’t profitable enough to employ.
Federal and state governments enacting policies to make it harder for independents to challenge them by restricting funding.
Fucking NIMBYs everywhere.
Detention centres still exist for some fucking reason.
