re: How close do you feel we are to a full societal collapse as a nation?

love how we are getting down voted by those that let politics a 1000 miles away shape how they live daily life.

i was taught by my grandfather, who was political and a very smart man.....dont let what happens in the white house, affect what happens in your house and those in the white house have very little affect on those in your house.

sure they can hurt or help the economy but overall they have a small effect unless you allow it to. many on the PT have forgotten that and many on the OT have also.

to me, these people are as bad as those that allow their mood to be affected by what their favorite college team or pro team does. or worse the ones that allow how their fantasy team does.

if you let it, politics can take over everything in your life. frick that, dont let it. talk to people, spend time outdoors, go do activities you and your family enjoy and try and live life like we did in the 90s and you will be a much happier person.

go outside and throw a ball with your kids or go ride bikes with them or go for a walk as a family. on the weekend go enjoy being on the water, taking in a live game or just go watch your kids play ball.

i know many on here shite on travel ball and kids playing lots of sports...but one thing it does for parents...it doesnt allow you to have time to worry about stupid shite like what mini bill congress is working on or what the president's cheif of staff said on a trip to europe or how much we are spending on some new aircraft etc......essentially if it isnt a tax bill or concerns sending troops in to harms way...i dont worry about it.

many of yall should try living like this. I made that decision after covid and its been so freeing living for my family, not the first family.
