Its not just that, iv had coworkers, teammates, lots of randos who are women, and/or minorities, and/or immigrants, who say the same shit! Oh the president doesnt affect me why should I vote?
First off, i work for the state, ok pres is federal but bitch why you not voting local?!? Also yes the president does have effects on your life, right down to the money on our check.
Bahhhh rant over.
It used to be that the President didn't have a huge effect on our daily lives, but times have changed. For example, I have never seen a President single-handedly fuck up the economy at this speed. It takes some serious fuckups to move this juggernaut of an economy.
You're talking about the only man in history to lose over 1 billion in 1 year.
Pretty sure Elon lost much more than that, at least on paper
At Musk's level, several billion in gains and loses a day are perfectly normal. Which is horrifying now that I typed that out.
what really opened my eyes was working on the executive end of homelessness services. when democrats are in power, there's ample funding and many available grants. when republicans are in power, there is no funding.
i previously didn't think the funding was as inconsistent as it is, i guess.
