      I felt this way when I was a kid. I figured things like elections were for grownups to worry about. But now I'm a grownup.

          20 million people could lose their health insurance. For them it matters a lot who wins. Immigrants could be kicked out of the country. There are many other examples of people whose life could be majorly impacted by the result of the election.

          I used to think they were for boring people. Interesting people cared about culture more than government.

          Paul: your childhood feelings were right in this regard. Which U.S. election(s) drastically changed yours or a loved one’s day-to-day lives for the worse? What makes you think this one will be long-term any different? I hope you write an essay about this topic if you haven’t.

          Cleary you don't have any recent immigrants in your family/friend circle

          Me too but I still feel ineffective whenever there is public policy I care about.

          If you had no influence then I would say you shouldn’t worry about it. But since you do have some degree of influence then it makes sense to me that you would publicly care.

          I felt this way before Bitcoin. Now I just wait for the inevitable fall of the nation state.
