I try to tell myself, "eh, eff them, I don't live in that State. I don't work in that industry. This does not impact me," But then, I think again and what I come to is that we are where we are because people have grown so insensitive to the plight of others. I'm not talking about the poor refugees/illegals/trans WOC and all the trendy BS. I'm talking about our neighbors. Our countrymen. And that is why even though I desperately want to tune out, I'm going to make a point to care.

It absolutely affects you. When oil prices go up, the price of everything else goes up along with it.
