I've definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is "smart" nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn't require any of that before.
What's some things currently making you ramble like an old man?
I think a lot of kids, especially junior high and high schoolers, were not as dumb as people took them for and knew how they were being screwed over for political points. I know it's a complex subject, and feelings are probably conflicted (like wanting to be back with friends while also knowing how they couldn't be), but I think they do know that they were used as pawns to win political fights, and that their safety was put at risk because of it. "We need to open schools again for the kids". I think that's going to have an effect when voting age comes around
problem is, the democrats are the ones who declared the pandemic over. there's nobody who's actually pro public health to vote for
