Older Americans, why was life so much more peaceful before?
I constantly hear people saying that the 50s anf 60s were a simpler time and there was less violence and problems. I believe its true because even like 20 years ago when I was growing up, if there was a mass shooting it was all everybody talked about because it was out of the ordinary. Now we have shootings like, every month and super violent protests every year.
So what was different before? I think it might be that life was slightly easier then and the cost of living was lower, but I'm not sure
24 AnswersHistory9 months agoI haven't run into a single person who has (confirmed) covid, so why do we still have to live like this?
I don't mean that I don't see a lot of people with covid, I'm saying I haven't seen a SINGLE person, and all the people I know are saying the same thing. And naturally, people like me are getting pissed off that people are losing their jobs and stores are going permanently out of business, and it seems to be for nothing.
Also, you may have noticed how people give you dirty looks outside if you don't wear a mask. I constantly walk down the street and I see someone walking like 100 feet away and if they see me they cross the street. Its irritating. Is this going to go on for half of the century?

5 AnswersOther - Society & Culture2 years agoCan you find a way to drop a class/get your money back after the deadline?
I registered for an online class at a local community college. The quality of education there is extremely poor (and I was appalled). The class has no lectures and no discussions, I kind of believed that students who pay lots of money to take a class are entitled to have this. Anyway, I can t figure out a way to drop this class. Even if I have already wasted my money, I can t keep wasting my time and I want to opt out. any suggestions?

10 AnswersPolitics2 years agoCons, how desperate are you?
Lately, every time I click on a youtube video I have to see an ad of Trump bashing democrats and talking about how everyone should get together and vote Republican. You must be really worried and these corny ads must be costing you a lot of money. Are you going to blow out your savings in 2020?
