Mindset reset:

Right now, brave Ukrainians are defending their land & loved ones, at the cost of their sanity, limbs & lives. It’s an existential fight for their democracy & way of life.

If the Russians lose, they go home. If the Ukrainians lose, they will be overrun & destroyed.

Adam Hills from The Last Leg made such a good point about Trump's stupid DEI policy. He made the point that people complain too many people get jobs because of DEI but also complain too many are on benefits. It makes no sense. All we want is a fair and equal system.
