Why do we bother reading/posting these things?

I'm not sure why I'm doing this. I guess it's fun. I'll stop when I get tired, I suppose.

Ok, so the economy is in the shitter and the world is ending ect ect. At least we’re not Zimbabwe! I think the most heartbreaking thing is that this country was doing well before a decade of chronic mismagement and corruption. Now everyone is forced to wallow in their own filth and is dying from cholera. Isn’t it funnyscary how fragile things are?
