I so wish I could.

It is beyond them. And I further alienate them every time I try.

@CinnamonGirlE

i think it it is important. They know not what they do..

@Museek
It's definitely important. But it's like talking to people with nothing behind their eyes. It's blank back there.

@CinnamonGirlE

I understand.

I’m still going to try, though.

People often understand more when it hurts them financially.

I listened to Musk yesterday.

His fear is over regulation of his own pet projects.
He thinks giving everyone two years severance is enough to help them transition.

Regulation is a pain, yes..but in a democracy, you need to reel in out of control self interest.

Where is the safety net for anyone who is not a 1 percenter?

@Museek
It would be wonderful to know you could reach even one person through understanding.

@CinnamonGirlE Every little bit helps. Talking about wealth inequality and its effects is important, even if it feels like it’s taking a long time.

Sharing facts, personal stories, and clear examples can make these issues easier to understand.

It might take time, but as more people see how these problems affect their own lives, understanding will grow, imho.

I really do try Museek. People are firmly ensconced in their beliefs here with their echo chambers and churches telling them what to think and do. It's really kind of terrifying.
But I do still have hope.

@CinnamonGirlE This is why I have been highlighting Matthew Pridgen.. someone within their community who gets it.

I am not Christian but I know it has to be relateable. We have to find stories where our beliefs meet... in order for people to have personal realizations.

People engage with stories that resonate with their values, ..the goal is to inspire understanding... imho...
