Here's the one the article is about

You're right, but your not alone. There are thousands of us around the US protesting, boycotting, going to town halls, and getting involved in the government (https://www.fiftyfifty.one/). It's just hard to see since media corporations want to keep the status quo. It's not going to be easy to change our political system, but it's been done before. Just read our Declaration of Independence. We have to keep fighting or no on else will.

Edit

Here's part of the second paragraph of the declaration

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Good advice.

I love this picture

I agree with you. More needs to be done. If I had a higher income and sustainability, I'd be getting ready to be one of the candidates for the next local election, but for now, I'm just doing what I believe is right, so I have no regrets. Change will happen. Whether or not I'll see it in my lifetime, I don't know. All I'll know is that I did everything I could to start that change and pass it on. They may have the finances, but they can't overturn the masses when we all unite.

Wow. That's an amazing park. I'm jealous.

It's a bit finicky to assign the buttons on the initial retropie setup, but after that, it's good.

...[Trump's] Justice Department is no longer investigating police departments accused of excessive force.

This is atrocious. I don't know why the article even bothered stating the dropping murder rates if police are killing more without accountability.

That's awesome

Bill Clinton was on the address book as well

If I didn't know better, I'd think you'd be living in some fantasy world. Thanks for sharing.

Can I still text?

Start planning your path after school and what you need to do to get there. What you want to do for a living versus what can sustain you with a comfortable life, plenty of vacation, and good benefits can be very different. Yes, it more than likely won't be ideal, but it's a whole lot better than struggling to pay the bills.

A job is a job. The more it pays, the more you can do. It's as simple as that.

I would know.

Well, over here, I just read and learned about it in textbooks and geography class when I was a kid. Makes me want to move over there even more.

Wow, that's a wonderful view. To be honest, I'd bring a foldable chair and sit there all day if I could. There's nothing like listening to and watching the waves underneath a beautiful skyline. It must also be a nice and scenic drive going there. I don't know what I'd put on the stereo to prepare me for it, though. Maybe Schubert's Wind Quartet in B Moll Major from String Trio, D471, but something light.

Thank you for sharing this. This is truly a rare event

It was... wait a second... I was just thinking about it... uh... damn it. It wasn't worth remembering anyway.
