In June, after a Trumpist terrorist murdered Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, some liberals lost their shit at me in my mentions for observing that cops were too scared to enter the home and stop the killer.
Turns out that the cops not only watched Mark get shot, but also watched muzzle flashes from outside the home, where they waited *for more than an hour* before entering, and then only after using a drone to search the house first. The killer just strolled out the back door.
No matter how many plate carriers and MRAPs and NVGs and suppressors we buy them so they can cosplay as SOF operators, they remain cowards who will watch you die.
Pick zero, one or more, depending on your capabilities and possibilities.
Stay calm and install solar panels.
Stay calm and install heat pumps.
Stay calm and build a Homelab to keep your data at home.
Stay calm and help your neighbours.
Stay calm and read the news but understand your anger on things you cannot change is wasted energy.
Stay calm and care about your direct environment where you can change things.
You are not alone. Many people around you are doing this already.
@sarahtaber The same concept applied to fast food workers infuriates me as well...
"If fast food workers get $25/hour, a burger and fries will cost $30!"
Uh... Only if they make one burger an hour. Restaurant workers in Europe make substantially more, and meals are still affordable.
Nevermind the fact that they keep minimum wage painfully low, but keep jacking up the prices anyway.
