Then there are the unlucky ones who started out with all the same advantages but somehow ended up with the short end of the stick. One, a former beauty queen now locked in a bad marriage with an abusive husband, has been housebound for five years with all sorts of physical and emotional ailments that keep her from eating and doing anything productive, Another is in constant pain, compounded by watching her beloved husband slowly succumb to dementia. Then there's the meth addict and his meth addict husband who is sadly focused on nothing at all besides his next hit.
None of these people give a crap who is running for president, yet if you turn on the TV news you will see that every minute of every broadcast is devoted to how Donald Trump is causing an existential crisis and imperiling the future of Democracy so we better kick him out of office. The media operates on some level outside of reality, and they make a lot of money doing it: Anderson Cooper of CNN, a news channel that fabricates reality to bump up their ratings, wears eyeglasses when he's in a suit and tie and shuns them when he's in a t-shirt -- that is some nutty eye condition! -- and earns $12 million annually.
As for me, I did something bad to my neck a few days ago and now I can hardly move it and the pain is searing. I'll vote for anyone who can fix it.
