I think there's as very real problem everywhere, though most marked in the US and the UK, where manipulation has reached such a point that everyone feels it yet have very little idea what to do with it, except in the nastier cases to spite others and tell lies about them. Both countries have just chucked away everything that has ever made them admirable, and are charging around the china-shop world like drunken bulls. New kinds of communication haven't helped, but this has been going on at least since Freud's nephew went over to the 'States to start the large-scale brainwashing. I'd reckon we're just have to get over it, but with the world-burning looming it begins to look a bit hopeless. Bad when you begin to think, 'Ah well, I'll miss the worst of it' and then suddenly doubt it!

Hello signalmankenneth,
People are not taking time for themselves. There needs to come a time every day where you just let go of all the stressors, a time when you carve out a peace for yourself. People who don't do this just stay stressed. And that takes a toll.
One thing that stands out to me is lack of sleep. There simply is no substitute for lack of sleep. Sleep is basic and important to every individual. It is very important to get the proper amount of sleep every night, and to not have that interrupted. If one night comes along where sleep is interrupted, you can't get that back. Sleep is not like a bank where if you take some out one day then it can be replaced the next. It doesn't work that way. After missing a full night of sleep, it takes about 10 days to fully recover back to full energy.
Americans, I believe, do not get as much sleep as people in other nations, generally.
People who are in the habit of not getting enough sleep diminish their ability to carve out a peaceful time for themselves, and spend too much time worrying about things they can't affect.
It does not surprise me at all to hear that President Trump does not get healthy sleep.
He is the epitome of stress.

Hello StoneByStone,
No, I disagree.
The grandest of all senses of collectivism is that we are all living humans on planet Earth. We are all bound together by this fact. Just take a look at some of those pictures of Earth from space. You don't see any boundaries, no nations. Just one big blue and green ball. That's us, all of us together.
You just need to open your eyes and think about our situation.
We are all here together, this one ball of life floating in space.
We all live together in a bubble of air which we are in the process of destroying.
We've got to wake up, learn how to get along with one another, and take a more logical approach to our existence, and see about making sure to protect what we all share.

Hello cawacko,
And THAT is why I have always said it is a conservative myth that people will leave high tax states for low tax states. Most people have a lot more going on in their life than worrying about taxes. And most people don't decide where to live based on taxes. CA and SF have some of the highest taxes around and still, the places are jammed with people and more still come. The population expands.
Jobs. That's why people leave a region. People left the rust belt after the jobs went away.

“Rather, of those who left during the latest years for which statistics exist, the vast majority earned less than $30,000 per year. A net total of 469,000 of those leaving had no college degree. Given the prevailing levels of rents and home prices in California, it’s easy to see their financial motive in leaving for far lower-priced states like Texas, Nevada, Oregon and Arizona.”
