I'm just so depressed. [View all]

How did we get to the point where these sociopathic monsters have free reign to destroy so many lives and no one who is in an actual position to stop them will do anything? And it seems like an awful lot of our neighbors are okay with this.
I feel so helpless and angry and sad for all the innocent people who are suffering and will continue to suffer to feed the insatiable greed and egos of billionaires who just keep screaming for more, more, more.
And it hasn't even been a month.
