I'm really worried about the state of the US despite being a white male who was I'll coast right through it. I'll also accept "I don't" and "very poorly" as answers

A mix of:

  1. We can't really know how things will play out, so I'm going to at least try to nudge things in a better direction. If that helps create a better world, good, if it does nothing, at least I can die in the water wars knowing I tried.
  2. But things are very likely fucked, so I'm going to enjoy what I can in life while I can.

Ignore it until it becomes an immediate problem. I'm honestly praying for a position at some place like Duke energy.

Well my small part of it is, which is something. I guess it is because I am a fatalist. One day I will be dead and there is no afterlife. So yeah things as a whole are going to shit but they were always destined to. Our job is palliative. It's going to die, try to make things comfortable before the end.

I got a vasectomy as a way of dealing with it.

My primary coping mechanism is woodworking. I'm getting pretty good at building guillotines.

Weaponized Apathy.

Why care about the world when it doesn't care about me? I'll stick to caring about my small circle that I can actually do something for and rather hands off with the rest.
