If I thought about it as much as my brain wants to I would drive myself mad. The system has too much inertia and the fixes we are forced to implement now (and for the next little while) are damage mitigation, not fixes. It’s just not going to be fixed for a while. If I tried to address it with the same tenacity that I approach my day-to-day problems my mind would overheat and I’d die. So I just have to spend most of my time brushing my teeth and keeping my car from breaking down and trying to find a fucking job so I can continue to buy food at my accustomed rate. I squeeze in a little damage mitigation where I can but I can’t afford to dwell on the elephant that we have to eat. Too much problem for tonight.
