Right. Not the same problems. But, other problems. Tehran is out of water, Russia is drone bombing, authoritarianism is seeping into governments, etc.

If you think the world is doing just fine, you’re dumber than a US republican voting for Trump a 3rd time. 🤣

I don't know why the OP is down voted much, but they are right.

First of all. The issues you listed. Those are likely not affecting you (I don't know where you live), and you have a very miniscule (if any) affect them, so there's no benefit for you to stress over it. Sure you can do what you can, for example Russia bombing with drones you can for example donate to Ukraine, but your stress won't help them.

Second, what I think OP meant are things that affect us directly, like daily life, especially work. In EU for example there are much stricter laws regarding work, the healthcare is not tied to work, the minimum pay is more reasonable, and employers can be punished if they abuse employees so they are less likely to do it.

All that makes life less stressful.

Do you mean OP the post or OP the MAGA commenter who has half their comments removed and posts pro-maga memes?
