I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Perhaps a Temperance League? But I don't like the sound of that as drink provides some solace from the pain of having malignant half-wits in charge  :cheers:

Eugene Debs almost made a viable third party candidate until Ross Perot came along and actually split the GOP vote.
Early unionisation in Norway was clearly inspired by guest workers returning from the United States. My maternal great grandfather was, well, suspiciously into both temperance and anarcho-syndicalism, but could not see why his daughters needed an education.

Back in my early teens, I picked up a lot of Jack London novels from the library. One of them was "The Iron Heel". I sort of scoffed at it, it was preachy, and unlike London's novels from Alaska, not very believable. In the 1980s, that is. People would use Marxist analysis during conversations? Riiight.

I did re-read it, and it is still rather rubbish. And so is almost any literature coming from the United States these days.
Stop the pessimism, we will get through this, your European cousins are here for both the UK and the USA.
