But it's not a waste of time, because the purpose isn't to have a cogent conversation about the issue.
It's to beat up on a CEO or two for 5 minutes and tweet out the clip to your followers. And for that, it's time well spent.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoThe senators may think so. But in theory, we sent them there to govern, not to grandstand.
- s5300 6y agoThe majority of those who voted them in don't know what those words really mean in the first place so I don't think it matters too much what they choose to do
- corin_ 6y agoLet's try to improve things rather than say "they're successful so who cares"?
- s5300 6y agoOh, I'm completely with you. I think it's a consequence of having been to larger cities (like in SoCal) for an extended period of time, but having been born and mostly lived in the MidWest sticks. Simply put, for the majority out here, improvement is absolutely futile. They truly, genuinely, simply do not care. At most, if you can get through to them what's actually happening, you'll be glad to know that they'll quite happily want to double down on support of them, just to fuck people who want to "improve" things over. I've personally become utterly cynical towards it. Leaded gasoline and paint, among other things, was just too much of a hell of a drug. It's going to take a generation or two and the majority of the current base to die out before improvement can happen. Very shitty reality. Some who haven't seen it will find it unfathomable, but I can't blame them. I'm just trying to get the fuck away from all of this as fast as I can, though I'm failing miserably. Sorry to be so pessimistic.
