Short-term they’re different,
That’s like saying in a million years everyone will be dead, so why do anything?

That happened after Trump tore up the treaty, right?
Thank you. You’re going to get a lot of nonsense where people keep telling you that voting is meaningless. Don’t listen.
You do know that Obama signed a peace treaty with Iran that even the Israeli Mossad said was working? You knew that, right?
So, both sides are the same and don’t vote?
Funny how every time the GIOP does something awful we see a lot of BoTh SIdes ArE The SAMe memes.
No actual plans or ideas, but lots of memes telling people not to vote.

The Village Voice was a weekly ‘alternative’ newspaper that covered politics, culture, and the arts.
The pot smoking hippies ran dozens of predictions of what would happen. that included two cartoons.
One showed Dubya as Mickey Mouse. the sorcerer’s apprentice was chopping up a broom that looked like Sadam, and getting a million little brooms that looked like bin Ladn. The other was a buddy cop movie where Sadam and bin-Ladn are forced to work together, and eventually learn from each other

Except that the rich know who to bribe with campaign contributions.
Look at Ronald Reagan. As an actor, he was not a giant star. Plenty of folks got a higher salary. Reagan lucked into a job as spokesman for General Electric, at the time one of the biggest companies in the world. Reagan hung out with the big shots and introduced them to his Hollywood buddies; in return he got stock tips and investment opportunities that made him rich.
You’re middle class if you’re still working for your money. You’re rich when your money works for you.
A $5 million a year actor/athlete still has to work; they are also paying for their trainers, agents, dietitians, clothes etc. They are upper middle class.
A trust fund baby with an income of $1 million a year is the rich one. imho.

In a bar, the bartender or server holds the bets and pays off the winner, and expects a cut of the pie as a sevice fee/tip.

If you don’t have a good sized freezer, buy one. There are small ones that fit in any home.
Too many veggies? Chop them up and put them in quart sized containers. You can add them to any soup or stew.
I have a five quart pot; make chili/stew/soup and freeze in pint size containers.
My house has a good freezer, here’s the first i searched out as an example.

If I read up on a subject for two hours, chances are I am going to learn things that have nothing to do with the original problem.

Having a live band playing music during a battle was an actual thing back in the day.
Physical calendars are great. One good trick is to write all the important dates down the day you get it. Mom’s birthday; parent’s anniversary; any event that you want to be sure to remember.
