Yes ... An easy time to be sad about the USA.

But not all people are bad. Yes there are what seems like large numbers we have never seen. But maybe the per capita numbers are not significantly higher but our current leadership "encourages" people to reveal themselves. Or maybe not. I have no data to support either position.

But there is some hope. I just read this Medium story about a woman that stopped to talk to a stranger in stress.

If we all had similar courage it might make a difference ... you know ... it might spread like a virus.

So don't totally give up ... yet.
