  • When you make it better? Look you can’t control the economy, or who runs a big company or country or whatever. But you can control you. How you talk to people, how you spend your time. It doesn’t mean trying to be happy all the time. Feelings have very little to do with it actually. Just try to make things a little better, even if it’s just your bedroom or trash can.

    You might think nobody sees what you do or cares but I promise you’d be wrong.

    The train of thought he talked about right when he said that was that in the past politicians said they feel your pain, even if they are an opponent. Now politicians try to make the case that people aren’t in pain.

    In that comparison I linked one of the differences is sympathy is feeling pain as your own and another is acknowledging pain without feeling it at all.

    I’m not saying I agree with his take, but context made the quote made me go from “this guy doesn’t care about others at all” to “grammar police sidenote where he wants people to say sympathy more” in my head

    Context is important and I never heard or watched him at all so I wanted to share for people who were interested like I was.

    I see it as every employee walmart has to hire and pay to solve this problem is a local and the money will be saved and spent locally, not automatically going to be another drop in some CEO’s bucket.

    The best choice is to shop local in the first place but some places don’t have that luxury. And who knows if enough local money builds up people might open their own businesses
