Well... I have two adult stepsons, a grandson and a grandchild on the way. I don't want any of them-- or anyone else-- to live in the kind of world I see coming.

As for a plan, I have a small thing that everyone can do: turn off the television, specifically tv news. And then... limit your time on the internet.

Once upon a time, I worked at a tv station, and then my job go automated away. I stopped watching local tv news, and then shut off national/cable news. It was one of the best things I ever did. I do listen to talk radio occasionally and interviews online, but I limit that. I think it would help everyone if we limited ourselves to the toxins coming out of the tv and, to a lesser extent, the internet.

Break the programming.

I know, I know, I know! But it's so frustrating and infuriating, that we know what's going on out there, the damage being done by the vax, the VAERS numbers being totally ignored, The WEF great reset totally ignored, the economy being trashed, and all they do is "rinse and repeat " no accountability! You're right, I watch too much TV news,but I'm usually on substack at the same time (lol) ! It's driving me nuts! I'm getting like our friend Ryan G, and I'm running out of shit around the house to break.! I'll try and do better, peace!🤪🤔

Porge, I wasn't calling you out specifically for watching too much news. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that it's just not good for any of us.

Plus... people of all ages need to stop leading virtual lives and live real lives. I'm just as guilty as anyone else of spending too much time online. At least it's here and not on social media, LOL.

I know, I know, I know, but you unwittingly busted me! Lol! But at least my family refused the lockdown crap and masking, we had family gatherings and went about business as usual as much as possible ( I live in Chicagoland) so it was kinda difficult! I'm glad we had this conversation! 😊

The problem is Substack! There is so much intelligent and interesting discourse and information that it now has to be rationed. I know I am missing things if I only have 2 hours per day, and I still need to read financial sites and The Epoch Times.

CBC Radio news for five minutes once every day or two keeps me informed of the current lies from Gov't. and their MSM lackeys.
