witness this.

We have Six major stressors:

1) One we can't see (Covid).

2) One that we have to let bully us for 40 something more days because apparently he can't be controlled.

3) The republicans who remain after Trump leaves.

4) Trump's potential influence on his rabid base for years to come.

5) 70 million people that are dumber than a box of pubic hair, and who wouldn't mind seeing us dead.

6) Financial stress and healthcare stress. Deciding whether to go to the ER for chest pains becomes an agonizing decision.

Personally, I'd rather be in a continuous physical fight than have all of the above crap. At least then, you can live or die by your own hand against an enemy that you may have at least a bit of control over, and an enemy you can see.
