I don't think that it is true to say that the economy doesn't touch their lives. They may have a greater economic security than most but they are still affected by the changes in the economy like the rest of us even if it is to a lesser degree. I think that the reason that the presidential candidates aren't mentioning the economy is because most people don't understand economics. It's a very confusing topic and apart from a few buzzwords and cliche phrases that are thrown around to entice voters (lower taxes, promote small businesses etc.) it is very difficult to make economics a subject that can be discussed in a way that the average voter can understand.

Thanks for the encouragement.

I hear it very often. Usually if someone accidentally bumps into you etc.

I don't think that a separate movement would be a good idea. The whole anti police brutality movement has become a race issue even though people of all races are being killed the same. Instead of getting angry because a black person was killed by police or because a white person was killed by police, we should be getting angry that people in general are being killed by police. Turning a problem that seems to be as widespread as this into a race issue just divides people and makes people think that it is unique to a particular group of people and they become complacent in the belief that it won't happen to them and are therefore less likely to try and do something about it.

I can't stand it when people say "soz" instead of sorry. It instantly makes me think the person is an idiot.

It's a fairly obvious choice but I only started reading Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" series a few days ago. The way so far it is really enjoyable. There is a really good blend of humour and his descriptions of the world are really good. It kind of has a similar narrative style as "The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy" imo.

I have awful handwriting. It was the neatest when I was about 6 or 7 and then I was forced to use cursive until I was 12. By the time I no longer had to use cursive the damage was done. Now it's just a squiggly mess.
