A friend just received an emergency alert text from both his town and county leadership saying "Hey don't turn your lawn sprinklers on - we don't have enough water" and the people in his small suburb are losing their shit (his words).
He didn't seem to take much comfort from my response not to worry. Dirt makes a fine front lawn, just ask the characters in "Grapes of Wrath".

It’s OK though, because the Constitution says he can’t do this.
Já fica menos para chegar ao mundo de 'Everything is fine' (Mike Birchal, 2021- )
TFW you stand up for yourself in the workplace and await getting mysteriously let go sometime later... :)
It's kind of strange to me how I'm mostly going along as if everything is fine, even though from my perspective there are major, global problems that are getting worse: problems like climate change, biodiversity loss, and rise of authoritarian governments. I guess it's hard to make a change, especially when I have to give 100% just to maintain our daily life. But I'm still anxious about our predicament, so I end up spending a lot of time and energy trying to understand, and less on taking actions to address the problems. Both understanding and action are important, but I think I'd benefit from leaning more toward action.
