The fact that this person is still in US politics doesn't say much about him .... it says a lot about the American psyche ... how disconnected does a country have to be to think that this individual is fit to represent them?

“Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.”
― George Carlin
One important key lesson that everyone misses is funding ... we have to normalize paying a bit of money through donations or subscriptions to those people that maintain instances and those people who maintain, update and build the software ... if we all just keep tell ourselves that we all just keep our heads down, lock the door and don't bother to pay anyone to keep the door locked ... the same problems of the past will always emerge .... Owners, developers, programmers, instance maintainers just running out of money and enthusiasm because they have the shoulder the financial costs while everyone ignores them and takes everything for granted.
If we all just keep expecting volunteers to keep everything running for us for free ... eventually we will run out of willing volunteers as the community grows and the costs add up over time as instances grow more popular
SUPPORT YOUR INSTANCE ... whatever platform it is and whatever amount of money you can give ... even if it means we just give a dollar a day, across hundreds or thousands of user, it will protect your instance owner, and ensure that the people running your instance never run into a situation where they have to decide on either ending their work ... or selling everything they have to make a bit of money back.
Mass Starvation and mass migration due to the climate change
These are the two things that will severely affect every part of the globe in the next few decades. No one will care about why the animals are dying or getting smaller, or why storms are getting worse or why floods are happening .... millions of people will be moving into places where other people already live and people won't like that.
And we'll wonder why the world is degrading and why we are fighting one another.
