What is your main worry? COVID, Russia, right-wing extreme fascism, nuclear war, rising inflation, voting?

How many things can we worry about simultaneously and maintain our sanity?

    A year or so ago I worried about all those things but now I have taking voting off the list. If you recall Trump and the GOP did everything they could do to make voting hard for the people that would likely vote demarcate. Plus they installed a new head  of the post office. He was a Trump supporter and one of the first things he did was shut down a lot of mail sorting machines to slow down mail in ballots counting so that they wouldn't make the mail in deadline. I'm sure Biden would like to win again but he won't do it by cheating or by trying to control voters voting rights. Cheers!

    It does seem like it is endlessly amusing for you. But maybe after many many years it is time for some new material. Or would that be too hard because like Mary Poppins Canadians are practically perfect in ever way?

    Yeah but using the same joke for many many years is not very creative. Carrot Top used the same material for years and now he is a has been

    The influence that unelected lobbyists and media moguls have on policy. Murdererdoch is a cancer on democracy.

    Welcome back, Rosie!

    At a purely personal level it would be disease and money; but wider than that I worry about political extremism of any direction.

    Welcome back Rosie!

    Right now, the biggest worry I have is climate change. 

    Inflation is certainly a worry for people whose pay isn't keeping pace with the rising cost of groceries, fuel or rent, but not for me personally.

    For me, climate change is the most urgent issue because it affects the whole of life on this planet. It's already too late to stop it, but not too late to slow the rate and keep it within a survivable range.
    Yes, simultaneously, we need to brainstorm effective ways to deal with the alt right, populists and demagogues.
    We need to find a way to prevent fake news.

    Hey, is that Rosie? THE Rosie?? 

    I confess I'm worried about climate change. Most of the other things, we've unfortunately seen before, and I don't believe nuclear war is going to happen in the near future.

    But what I'm concerned about is that those who pollute and take advantage of this planet the most will be busy saving their own hides while the rest of us duke it out. We should be more united right now.

    For me, not that many. I shield myself from global worries as much as possible and concentrate on the things I can really do something about.
