The thing that really gets me down is the futility of my job. I am a public servant, so i don’t have to worry about being exploited by the rich in the same way. I work decent hours and have good benefits. However, a lot of the work i do seems aimless and poorly thought out. Many of my projects get cancelled after months of work due to changing priorities. When i get home, i tend to ruminate over the pointlessness of it all. If i sit there and really think about how i am spending my life, i get really down. Video games and hobbies occupy my mind to the exclusion of bad thoughts.

Thanks, Trudeau!

You say ‘politics’ like it is some trivial thing. Politics involves beliefs on personhood, human rights, racism, equity, crime and punishment, and fundamental ideas about morality. I think it is totally appropriate to make judgments about a person’s character based on their politics.

I really hate Trump and it feels weird to defend him, but i think everyone is freaking out over what is the closest thing to a witticism that Trump has ever uttered. He’s stupid and has low self-awareness; however, this sounds like a facetious comment - possibly tinged with self-deprecation. Am i giving him too much credit?

The only thing any person sees in him is money, and Taylor has her own.

This is the perfect answer. Self-reinforcing loop
