Okay so I'm checking out online what's going on elsewhere in the world
with North Korea vs. all the post-Hurricane Coverage where even rap stars are
coming back and taking part in the healing and helping process using rap.
(Of course my bf said no thanks, that irritates him more than it helps with any FEMA
delays that up to 6 million people are facing at the same time. If that rap was played
as hold music, maybe the wealthy people being helped more with better documented claims
would drop off the line, and leave it open for the poor people with no insurance and without internet access relying on friends' phones to get any information or help at all. FEMA could use it to screen calls between the rich calling from hotels and condos vs. the people being rapped about sitting in the dark without any power or ability to buy a new laptop to process insurance and FEMA claims!)
Instead I happen to see THIS news story, which isn't news:
Taylor Swift getting Boo'ed for trying to prevent press photographers from focusing on her
and at a friend's wedding:
Taylor Swift Attends Best Friend's Wedding -- And Then The Booing Starts
I assume she was trying not to ruin her friend's wedding. Whatever!
Is this non-news because people are burned out on arguing about Trump and the wall, Trump and whether he is more dangerous and insane than both former and current North Korean leaders combined.
What are the priorities here?
Before the storm hit, I was going to post a 3 question poll on what was more critical:
(A1) Trump being more mentally unfit and dangerous than
(A2) either leader of North Korea
Who do YOU think is more a threat of starting a war?
(B1) is the taking down or preservation of Confederate statues more a threat to dividing or saving America and American history tradition and culture or
(B2) the building of the wall across the border or not building it?
(C1) the threat and/or damage done by racist/Neo Nazi's and White Supremacists/Nationalist support of Trump, including the issue of BLM, and who is causing more violence, crime, and violations of civil rights
(C2) or the threat by ISIS and Jihadist terrorists overseas in Europe?
I am trying to get back to the mindset I was in before the storm, and do what I normally would do.
which is post this question, before I got sidetracked. If you'd please answer with any information or perspective you'd like to add, that would help me remember what NORMAL felt like.
And see if I can get back to what was NORMAL for me, which was worrying about how to work two jobs to keep all my credit going I was using for microloans to several nonprofits that run communities in Houston on zero budgets and pure volunteer work.
I will try to post a poll, but may not be able to figure that out anymore.
If I successfully post a three part poll, would you please be so kind as to
answer one or all three questions with whatever you would NORMALLY say?
Thank you so much,
let's try this, okay?
