> Politics: it is what most impacts your life,
Doubt that. I’ve lived through some changes of the ruling party in my current country, the only changes I’ve observed were: 1) would taxes be 49.9% or 50.1%, 2) in which exact foreign country our military will be waging or supporting another useless war.
Compare that to the price of the stock of your company…
> yet you cannot change it, at all.
Oh, you can. I’ve changed the politics around me twice already: 1) I’ve participated in overthrowing the government- result was good for me, but not so good for the whole country, 2) I’ve swapped a country - that worked dramatically good, both for me and my new country. So use recipe 1 with extreme caution, but recipe 2 looks safe to recommend.
- coffeeblack 4y agoThere was one president recently who didn’t start a new war (first president in 40 years) but I was told that he was “dangerous”.
- MikePlacid 4y agoTrue. But looking back - was that rather unusual change in politics, including no new wars started, something that “most impacted your life”?
- coffeeblack 4y agoNo idea what you are trying to say or ask.
- the_gipsy 4y agoI don't know what country you're based on, but in my country there are huge differences in legislation between legislatures of right or left parties. Regarding impact, no, you individually have not changed a single thing. A single person in a protest or a single vote simply has no impact. Changing country is one way to take control, but I would argue that the politics itself are unaffected.
- MikePlacid 4y ago> in my country there are huge differences in legislation between legislatures of right or left parties. Really? Somewhere in Europe? But I still doubt that these differences are something that “most impacts your life”. Let’s compare with the stock price of the company you are working in, e.g.
- the_gipsy 4y agoYes Europe. Yea maybe that's true, and you also have almost zero impact on that, unless you're CEO or something :)
