I usually have NPR playing in the background in my lab/office. (Yes, I am a supporter.) I used to love listening to various shows, news coverage, and the wide range of culture that was serendipitously introduced to me. I love listening to Prairie Home Companion, Will Shortz puzzle, CarTalk, Science Friday, . But now it seems that all I hear is election related junk.
I am getting tired of hearing about the Hilrump waste dump that American politics have become.
Please help me. Has anything else been happening on the planet? Have all the refugees been settled? Are there any earthquakes or typhoons, or floods on the horizon? Have education, healthcare, poverty, taxes, all been fixed? Did science come up with the cure for cancer or the common cold?
What did they talk about in the good old days when politics pretended to be civil?

Thanks for letting me vent.
