Secondly, the corporate media have been straight up propaganda centers for decades now and anyone who has been paying attention has known that for a long time now. That is not something that we are on the edge of our seats waiting to happen. It happened a long time ago.

Remember when CNN was meeting with the Pentagon so that the Pentagon could approve their stories during the Iraq War? Remember when the media constantly lied to us during COVID? Remember when they told us Biden's health was in pristine condition and that he was never better?

Don't try and politicize this issue in one way or the other. Anyone paying attention can see that there is no savior on the left or the right. It's the corrupt politicians vs. us.

It doesn't require us to change our views on areas where we don't agree. It simply requires uniting on the numerous areas where there is common ground.

I don't know about you, but I'm tired of this.

Your average Joe does this and gets ripped away from his family for 10-years. Politicians do it and it gives them job security.

The two-party system amounts to two wings on the same bird. While we're fighting about left vs. right, we're soon going to find ourselves in a new system of lords vs. peasants.

Some shows and movies seem harmless, initially, but then we noticed in so many kids movies (e.g., Zootopia, Sing), they're always yelling at each other, expressing anger, frustration, and hostility towards one another.

Then we wonder why kids adopt those attitudes. It's simply because mimic what they see. And worse yet, when they see it in movie/show form, they think those attitudes are cool and relatable.

I think what you say makes sense. There's times when you hear advice and you just know it's true and on point. And that is exactly what I saw in your words of advice.

I'm going to stick it out and just finish. Aside from career, it is also helping me with random side interests that I have like making my house smart, setting up media servers, creating my own Raspberry Pi surveillance system, automating work tasks. So like you said, the things I'm learning are useful in and of themselves.

Thanks a bunch, friend! You made a real difference!

Is the 1.5 years that I have left worth it? (I already have an Associate's Degree).
