I have no newscasts to follow, no twitter, x, or even bluesky or anything that will advertise useless crap for me to not want and pollute my thought patterns

I like some sports and follow that but mainly I don't want to know too much....its information overload that makes me feel like I am going to have a major fatal system failure

I don't trust what is going on and have lost value in my retirement over these useless political upheavals.

I so miss the times when I could sleep at night. And I miss having a democratic caring president.
