I’m sure some people are. But constantly crashing out isn’t useful even in the worst situations. What is useful is taking real steps that have real effects. Action is the antidote for anxiety.

Furthermore, some amount of work is always required to survive. It’s pretty naturally baked into our brains.

Greenland was an unpopular issue, even among conservatives and Republicans. The past year has not gone well for the GOP and this was yet another thing hurting their midterm chances for 2026.
