Something that fits your skills while only being somewhat soul sucking.

How could China be Ukraine's security guarantor? China doesn't have a military presence in the area and it isn't known for projecting force.

So don't teach about slavery?

Back in my day, we assumed that if it was on TV, it was a lie or likely not the whole truth.

Maybe you as a person, but a lot of society generally trusted broadcast television news. I think that part of the problem with old people going down the MAGA news hole is that they grew up in a time where you didn't need a lot of media literacy to the level you do now.

I feel like there are two ways that list could go.

The first is trying to whitewash slavery. The second is trying to help students understand why horrible things like this happen; why did entire economic systems get built for such a horrific practice.

Yeah. It is like a kid being born in the 1930's.

Yeah, but is this a communist parade because that's a lot of red flags.

Part of it is that I have worries that I can't turn off. For me, a lot of my worries are work related.

I would look into what is popping you out of the moment. You're getting rid of physical clutter in your life, but what about any mental clutter?

What's a 10?

I drink and have never smoked. While parents smoked, there was a push at the time to keep people from starting to smoke. In contrast, drinking was still shown to be a cool thing.

It seems like a lot of younger people have become more sober than before, so it isn't that unusual.

Yeah. Being broke is a problem with cash flow, not the balance sheet.
