I've wasted years of my life volunteering for various charity, civic and political organizations. For nearly 40 years (most of that time while working minimum wage jobs and nearly being homeless a few times myself) I felt volunteering was the only way to actively work towards a better world (and country).

But it hasn't helped. The United States has only grown darker and greedier. As we volunteers toiled away in shelters and soup kitchens, more money has been taken from social safety nets only to be given to the wealthy as tax-break so they have yet another summer home and/or yacht. We as a country choose to let a million hungry starve for a single billionaire's excesses.

But no more. The majority of Americans have chosen the path they want the country to take, and I'm too old and too tired to continue going against the grain. They've chosen to idolize the wealthy, and it shouldn't fall on the poor the further pick up the pieces of this plutocracy.

If Canada joined the US and A, it would bring sweetness and light, and make ARE land a better place

also, if you made just one person smile with your kooky volunteering, you have already won my man

These people have no historical perspective at all. They genuinely talk as if the US is spending far less money on all these social programs as compared to some imagined golden age and it's just so obviously objectively untrue

I notice this kind of argument all the time and it's baffling to me. And this is an old person who should know better
