Interestingly, just today a Neighborhood email forum has a member posted this with a title of "A Generation Lost to Narcissism".
It is apathy for the most part and partly most people are just trying to survive in their day to day life. Too much on everyone's brain to look into the details of Congressional laws and procedures--until it affects them.
"A generation lost to narcissism. A populace that believes that no experience is worth having unless it can be uploaded and has received its fair share of "clicks" or "hits". We are living in a time when outrage is favored over understanding. The fact that people complain about the Post Office without knowing that Washington D. C. passed a law forcing the PO (a nonprofit) to fund their retirement plan 75 years into the future while UPS and Fedex lobbyists bribe politicians of both parties in order to profit off of PO restrictions is mind boggling to me. Or that my taxes pay $4 billion a year to foreign oil companies for their leases on Canadian built oil rigs for which we get nothing. The amount of misinformation being slung around while promised political action to lower gas groceries childcare healthcare that never comes is ridiculous. Politicians who get elected to $175,000/yr jobs and come out multi millionaires doesn't register to us. It's always the "other party's" fault. Promises to stop useless spending by all parties on wars halfway around the world never stops. Our government spends more on debt interest payments than on Defense!! My taxes are spent on immigration, ballrooms, and gold plated decor in the Oval Office or Washington D. C. reflecting pools instead of making life in the US affordable. All the while, our individual preferred "news" spoon feeds us pablum about who's using which friggin bathroom or one group of people that we don't like might be getting something we think they don't deserve. All while WE can't afford groceries or gas or healthcare, It is repugnant as the mindless pursuit of right vs left instead of right vs wrong marches on. Shame on all of us for leaving this mess to our children while we ignore the rot that has been and still is taking place in Washington because we're distracted with silly slogans or name calling for several decades. If you want to know who is to blame, look at the lazy thinker in the mirror while patting yourself on the back for working Republicants or Dumocrats into your conversations. Now, Go ahead, throw your worst at me. I couldn't care less. We have screwed the pooch so bad we deserve what's coming. And make no mistake. It IS coming."
