This^^ exactly.

I live in Texas - you there driving a big-ass truck to the packed restaurant of your choice - I don't really want to hear you bitching about the cost of gas or food.

Somehow, they just put the pandemic and the war in Ukraine out of their mind? God, if we lose democracy and freedom, we never fucking deerved it.

We've mostly forgotten about the pandemic. The vaccinated are vaxxed and done and those who aren't vaccinated are going to cling to their stubborn notion that it was never a big deal. Never mind the million deaths so far (a hit to the labor force - 262K working age deaths so far) and the ~2K deaths a day that are still ongoing. Never mind the disruptions to the rest of the world through their dealing with it.

As for Ukraine, well that's a war in a place people couldn't have located on a map before it started, and we're Americans, we aren't affected by such things!
