I understand informing myself of the world events, for sake of a better education and world citizen.
But what is there I can do from the Midwest US? There's not too damn much I can do. Post it on Facebook? It'll be drowned out the 80% other party political issues of the week. Give them money? I can't guarantee it'll get to the right place (or me deemed terrorist).
Feels bitterweet honestly. Horrible situation, and there's absolutely nothing I can do that has any positive effective change.
- jonatanheyman 9y agoI totally get your frustration. One thing you could do is to write to your elected officials, and urge them to press for American and international sanctions agains Myanmar.
- crankylinuxuser 9y agoToo true, I could write to my congresscritters. However, here in Indiana, we're pretty heavily gerrymandered. It's republicans, and r-leaning democrats. I've written to them before regarding tech issues (net neutrality) that had direct bearing on us. I received either nothing or a form letter. Maybe it did have an impact, but it sure didn't feel like it to me.
