You have no opinion on single-payer versus obamacare funded-mandate versus unfunded-mandate versus free-for-all deny-pre-existing conditions health insurance?

You have no opinion on the removal of the legislature as a branch of government, and concentration of all that power into an office held by one man?

You have no opinion on the country turning into a 'papers please, comrade' state for anyone who looks brown?

Your life isn't impacted when flights are cancelled because ATC stops getting paid?

You don't, or don't know anyone working for the federal government? You don't know anyone on EBT? Anyone who has ever done schedule 1 drugs? Your life isn't impacted when billion-dollar frauds escape prison and restitution, setting an example and roadmap for others to follow? Or when tax rates and benefits get adjusted up or down? Or when a complete quack gets put in charge of the country's healthcare and infectious disease control?

You aren't at all affected by any decade-long wars that the country's entangled in? You don't use any foreign imports? Or domestic products that rely on foreign imports?

You don't derive any value from living in a country that mostly follows the rule of law?

You must be incredibly privileged to not be affected by any of this.
