Humanity still doesn’t get germ theory. 🤷‍♂️

We sound similar. I wish today didn’t suck. Just want to make sure we aren’t spinning out and being ineffective. We need people to care and help.

Let me know how it goes with your anti-stress device, because I could use it, too.

You need a rotation on Risa, friend, not war.

We are a minority. 🤷‍♂️

To be a serious Star Trek fan means you see way beyond countries and current politics.

That isn’t something most humans are good at.

It maybe will always feel bad for us to exist in this uncaring universe where the majority seems to care only about what immediately affects them.

To have a kind and open heart maybe just has this cost. I wish I could offer more.

This is the real question.

I think the answer is wealth inequality and failing education systems. If we fix the first through better tax practices, we could fix the second, and maybe pay for everyone’s healthcare, too.

No, friend, we are upset that you can’t see the reality of being locked into a two party system right now.

Your vote for a third party won’t get you the outcome you want, and is more likely to make it so you can never get the outcome you want.

Lot’s of us want ranked choice voting, among other changes. We definitely will not get that if third party voting results in Republicans winning.

So join us, use your vote pragmatically right now and then tomorrow start working towards reforming our elections.

If you have read and understood all this and you still don’t understand how this current reality works, I am worried you have a reason that you don’t want to understand it.

I have news for you about where the taxes you paid on those burgers went.

Hope everyone is voting!
