    1. They didn’t just start

    2. People have been talking about this for months.

    It’s really getting old how many people are starting to act like trump. And just assume if they just heard about something, no one else has.

    It sounds like a minor thing, but it’s a huge red flag that people don’t have base levels of empathy.

      For every person who has heard about it, there are many more who have not. It’s important to have these conversations so that we as a society can make decisions about what we value; only when a critical mass of individuals have awareness can we work together toward common goals.

        Yeah. And you can easily phrase a headline like that…

        That it had been going on for a while and people should pay attention…

        But they didn’t.

        Which is why I mentioned it.

        Edit:

        For example:

        There is a difference between headlines, and it shouldn’t be surprising the major network is more professional and accurate than a blog.
