Most of what society tells us will make us feel happy and fulfilled in life is bullshit. Living a good life is primarily about your personal relationships. Things like social status and personal wealth are far less important.

What does the fox say?
You are overplaying it though. I am active in my union and in the organized labor movement more broadly here in the PNW. The railway strike left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths, but there's also a recognition among leadership that the administration didn't have any great options if they didn't want to further tank the economy and cause even more inflation with potentially worse long-term results for everyone.
On the flipside he has appointed by far the most pro union NLRB in history, so this is kind of a case of letting the good be the enemy of the perfect.
Desantis doesn't have the charisma to replace Trump.
This is one of the few upsides of cults of personality; almost by definition they are not replicable.
Do we have a real choice?
I don't think we do.

TBF we use metric wherever it's needed as in science, engineering and the military. Imperial is more for everyday use and at least some of it, like feet vs meters, is more intuitive than metric since it's basically the length of a grown man's foot.
But again, wherever it actually matters, we do use metric.
These people are morons with 8th grade reading comprehension skills.
Come to think of it, maybe they are in fact 8th graders?
On its own it's not, but it definitely is in the current political and cultural context. There's no getting away from that. It's going to provoke a political reaction in any conservative and there's no point in pretending otherwise.
Yes. But mostly split-board backcountry, so I'm not doing 20+ runs in a day or hitting the park very often.
That's a very generous interpretation. I don't think anyone can be blamed for not taking it seriously.
