I do my share of doom scrolling to try and keep up but there has to be a limit and I am trying to self enforce that for keeping a balanced view of the chaos. I truly feel for those more directly affected by aid cuts, job losses and so on. My only advise is to keep trying and keep on going. Giving up means the a**holes win and that I could not stand.
