What a disgusting rage bait title.

Please no matter the news do not invite others to give up. You might be totally depleted. You might have fought teeth and nails against problems but if you want to give up let others try.

This is deeply problematic and of course precisely helps those you do agree with.

Do not fall prey to learned helplessness.

If politicians and lobbyists can keep on proposing a law until it goes through, so can we, including the very politicians who do not represent our views.

The situation might be bleak and I can understand the frustration but this kind of title is not helping.
