Old saying I like when feeling overwhelmed is “take care of your penny’s and the dollars will take care of themselves.” Simple and true. Focus on what’s what’s in front of u don’t become incapacitated w/ worry about things outside or your control

And don’t be discouraged at the slow rate of progress. Moving mountains is hard.

Also, when the time is right, run for some office starting with ones open to 18 year olds & up -school boards, city commission, college offices, other local races etc. Get involved with a campaign of someone you support-canvas, phone bank, etc. Be involve at least one hour a week

My advice to those who experience anxiety would be to take care of your situation. Good education with a usable degree or skilled trade (acquired at the best price (community college, etc)) developer strong fiscal discipline and maintain a healthy lifestyle and spirituality.

Neither party will nominate anybody ethical, so...

Seriously though, if you're waiting for politicians to fix the world problems you'll be waiting a long time. Fix yourself and help others. That's the only way to change anything.

I've spent the past 10 years studying "global catastrophic risks." Gosh you kids fill me with hope.
