It’s important to remember not to compare your situation to that of public figures. Greta Thunberg is wealthy and she’s not have to work to survive. She is using that to fight for a cause that is admirable and we should applaud her for that. But don’t beat yourself up for prioritizing short term survival needs. Some people genuinely can’t do more than go vote once a year.

This system is stacked against the little guy in more ways than one. Including ensuring that we don’t have enough time to raise a stink. While I have the income to suggest I could spend time doing stuff like this, I also recognize how quickly all of my assets would disappear if I took a couple of months.
