Taken for granted. I live in America and at the present time we are a nation of complainers. This is a first world country you live in, are there flaws? Yep. But that goes for quite literally everywhere. In my opinion Americans need a major gratitude check, there are few places in the world with as much opportunity; especially for women and minorities. Of course it isn’t perfect but nothing gets solved by whining on Twitter. Look around y’all, we’ve got it GOOD.

If getting unpopular is the result of having a conscience, I'd rather be on the 'onpopular' side with Angela Merkel and have a moral compass, than be on the 'popular' side and glorify fascism à la Orban. If it were not for Merkel and Germany, we'd never have recovered from the financial crisis! I bet if she were a man, she'd receive much less criticism.

America is broken. We need to repair it. We need to stop pollution. Homelessness needs to go. Poverty shouldn’t be a thing. We can’t ignore that our political beliefs are dividing us in two. We need to sow the broken pieces of the us back together. We need to come together and be the thread and needle. We can’t ignore it. We need to put our race, gender, political beliefs, and religion aside and work together to do something about our country, before it gets to shredded up to mend.

A place of possibility— if we each just focus on the small positive changes we can make around us. It’s definitely a scary time with extremism on the rise. Writing from the US here, political divisions, misinformation and conspiracies— echo chambers — disregard for science — climate change denial — it’s all got me quite get discouraged as well. Still when I shut down the computer and put down the phone, I find I’m surrounded mostly by kind hearted, hard-working people who want the best for their families, communities and world. Sadly, right now the voices getting the most attention are the greedy, the demagogues, the vicious and the hopeless. But that’s not who this country is. I hope and pray that we find a way to tamp down the fear, inspire hope and solve the problems facing our nation and world.

The worst it's been in my lifetime. Here in the UK, with each successive Conservative party, the government gets noticeably worse. We've got one that has managed the pandemic dreadfully and with a lot of cronyism. The other problem is that we know we're being lied to every day, but our society is not one to take to the streets (like the French) and force them to change what they're doing. We just moan and get on with it. Along with Brexit, our economy is is freefall and in a year or so, this place will have a post-apocalyptic feel to it. Hopefully I'll be out of here by then and back in the EU.
