I think it is important to rememebr that, as much as we are responsible for our own responses to the hand we are dealt, there really are a lot of folks who very much do have to ride it.
In my case, I have to ride that a recent priority change in environmental assessment on some federally regulated projects may well translate out to me getting less work, about 10% less.
But heck, I’m not going to get deported. I’m not likely to have to fight, again, to maintain rights over my own body and my choices, and I’m really really unlikely to get even harrassed by the police - because I’m a white american guy, and not of draft age.
I don’t have to pay attention, but really, really, really I do.
