Showing Original Post only (View all)Does anyone else feel helpless right now? [View all]
I'm not sure where to post this, I may cross post this in GD, I don't know. My question, is does anyone else feel extremely frustrated and helpless in the face of our current political and economic problems. There is so much wrong with this country, but I can't think of anything that can feasibly be done to improve it, let it alone fix it. Elections seem pointless, because most of the politicians are bought and paid for, and the ones who aren't get overruled by those who are. Labor unions are constantly under attack, it seems. I don't know why I'm posting this, I'm just frustrated. Perhaps, I'm just naive, but this whole situation seems wrong to me.
