Does anything matter anymore?

Click-baitey title. But at this point in the game it feels like a legitimate question. Money is tight, the stock market is down, “leaders” don’t have to play by any rules, the USA doesn’t stand for anything anymore, and gas prices are back on the rise.

Cool. All our hard work, saving, paying into a social security system that absolutely will not pay you back what you deserve, taxes going to anything and everything so long as it doesn’t actually benefit us.

Does anything matter anymore? YES

My wife and children matter. My friends and family matter. Decent people just trying to get by matter. And we should never stop fighting for what matters.
