What are some problems that are at tipping points right now?

Police brutality. The guy in Baltimore I can’t imagine how that could be justified.

A good question to ask the people and animals at the Arctic.

Personally: Roommates. One of my roommates is giving me the cold shoulder currently (won’t even acknowledge me when I enter a room; if my other roommate and I are both in a room with him he’ll talk to only her and not me). I have no idea why this is happening. I hate passive aggressiveness and would usually acknowledge it and start a conversation but since there is only a week left of school I’m not going to bother with a confrontation. This same roommate also has precisely 2 playlists, one of which is Disney music, and the other of which is terrible pop music, which he constantly plays and sings along to very loudly at all hours, and that is grating on my last nerve too. I just gotta wait it out. It’s over really soon now.

Globally: Climate change. Past the tipping point, actually. All the projections show that we would have needed to take action 20–30 years ago to actually make a difference.

1. The appalling ignorance of the American electorate, resulting in:
2. The corrosive effect of money on government, leading directly to:
3. The elimination of the middle class which guarantees the:
4. Collapse of the republic.

We are testing the old adage that “Ignorance is bliss” Is everybody happy?

I’ll take “police brutality” for $200 too, Alex.
