From the artist:
I often watch PBS or PBS Create, especially Rick Steves and other travel shows. The cooking shows are mostly mindless “comfort food TV,” sometimes literally cooking comfort food. NOVA and Christiane Amanpour are also excellent. Now this all faces an uncertain future. I also listen to community radio stations wherever I live, and since I’ve lived in several cities with good stations, I try keep up with some of them online. Now I hear announcements saying “We’ve lost our federal funding, please help cover the shortfall.” Same story for national parks. It’s just bizarre to see visitor centers shuttered in a country as prosperous as this one (speaking in the abstract). You’d think this was the Great Depression.
The one thing that surprises me the most about US nowadays is that revolutionary violence is not significantly more widespread. I posit that it’s a combination of too much to lose and no hope for success, but u don’t really understand it
Yeah some of my friends and coworkers are just staying home to play video games instead of going to the most basic, safe, protests. Doesnt look like they’re going to take real risks.
