Yes! I mean the President is only important because people devolve 99% of the time they spend of politics to National politics whereas they should be focused on County and City level which has the most impact on their lives.
A street becoming a one way street or a replanning might not be as sexy as what happens at the National Level especially with Trump in the WH (and in the past Clinton) but it actually has an impact on people's lives and it gives people impacted a relatively high capability of influencing what happens compared to National politics which is the equivalent of urinating in the ocean

Every aspect of our lives is subject to exploitation, and it has become difficult to opt out. As a result, the share of our total wealth owned by the richest keeps growing.

HN is my only social media now but I’m considering moving on — I just enjoy the tech info and occasionally talking to strangers.
