Interested in just about everything. Finally decided to join instead of having to click links to so many different wonderful people to keep up.
This whole thread. My take is US import laws should do what we can to block sweat shops but otherwise let the American economy benefit from low cost imports. Use the savings to provide opportunities, and yes, even services, to US citizens
It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

My July was stressful in the oddest ways. Nothing as serious as what many others have to deal with but seriously weird. And not, I think, my doing.

Aug just took a stressful turn but today's event is my fault for not staying chill. With everything going on, it's hard to not be short on patience.
I'm having a rough go of it lately, and have been thinking: everyone is going through something, and you have no idea what it is, or how it's affecting them.

Quote post this is if you're going through something, and maybe we'll all realize that we aren't as alone as we feel right now.
