I’m really worried about the state of the US despite being a white male who was I’ll coast right through it. I’ll also accept “I don’t” and “very poorly” as answers

    I don’t cope, I go out of my way to *make it better: I volunteer my free time to hand out food at any of those food shelter events locally, I walk trails with a trash bag and collect trash, I care for my elderly neighbors by visiting them a few times a month without warning and insist they find me a job to help them around their house and refuse payments (but suggest I accept a piece of candy as compensation), I use my turn signals 100 meters before I make my turns when driving, I call my old friends who live abroad just to remind them I care about them if they aren’t feeling good and they can always talk to me. Etc, etc.

    Everyone should just ignore the eternal dumpster fires around them and try to make better as much as they can within their local vicinity.

      This is it! Even if the world going to shit is as certain as entropy, you can still make things just a little better around you while you are able.
