Is going to Ikea over there a big deal like it is over here? Like you have to drive several hours to get to a store and then the stores are so big that it's basically a half day excursion to go there. It's more of an event than a quick trip to the store. I know what you mean about people being siloed, but honestly, right now, that feels like the best move. The world is so crazy and things are so odd in the US politically right now that it just feels smarter to keep your head down, mind your own business, and just try to make it through the day!
It used to be! but no, no here now because there is one in this city. Before, it was a "big trip" to Helsinki :D I am glad that you guys know the drill though!
We keep making it crazier. The more we support one side of government without realizing they are all part of the same coin, the worse it will get.
That's interesting to hear about Ikea. I wonder if it is any different in Sweden. Like I would imagine there it's just like running down to the local hardware store or something like that.
The problem is, even if you know that the parties are just a double headed monster, if those around you still think it isn't then it is just as dangerous for you. Still best to just keep your head down.
