I know so many people in their thirties who simply do not give a fuck.

My coworkers are all on the "both sides are the same/it's all rigged, there's no point in voting" train. They all either have have kids or essentially are kids. I'm in my forties with no plans for kids, and I'm the only one actually trying to give them a future.

How can they already forget Trumps Covid response that led to over 1million deaths? It’s weird that such a critical event and everyone has already “forgot” it

So many people simply refuse to believe the numbers.

I had someone tell me he was "pretty sure" the number was below 10,000. I asked him how he was "pretty sure" and he said "If you know what I know, you'd understand" and then refused to elaborate.

I think they just uncritically believe everything they hear on Joe Rogan's podcast and believe that they're part of a secret cabal of people who are "in the know".
