I have been laying in bed for 6 hrs now. I am a ball of anxiety and Zen meditation or any of my usual tricks are not working. Could it be world events, going into overdraft to pay rent, the state of the economy? No, I just need to pull myself up by my bootstraps, even though it's impossible to do so

Could it have something to do with the anti immigration laws? Perhaps the lack of parental leave and other supports? The lack of childcare?
Nah, let's pretend to be serious while blaming it on workers and onerous laws that protect workers.

In these times it is easy to become disillusioned, sink into a dark hole and give up, but we cannot.
Although I cannot blame people for doing so when the rapacious oligarchs flagrantly display their lust for riches at the expense of fellow global working folk is shown with no concern.

Living through the decline of the USA empire is getting harder as it continues to drag us down with it.
I am losing count of all of the different reasons Trump is giving for the sanctions. Increasing global spending on war is going to have negligible impacts on USA jobs.

From this and other things I have seen they frankly look biased to the Liberals. Even if by faulty methodology.
