Whatever Trump does next, it’s going to be interesting. He’ll have to make choices that aren’t quite within his realm of experience: it must be new to him to not feel in control. Like the bully that he is, he reacts by blaming others. I’m expecting his choices in the next couple of months to be pitiful, and hoping no one gets hurt as a result of them.
Speaking of Bezos, I think it’s a matter of proportionality. Extremely rich employers should be able to provide their employees with basic security - food and shelter security, safety at work, a decent living wage, the means to stay healthy. It’s not too much to ask in return for the work on which his wealth depends, and would probably make people more productive, as well.
What people often seem to forget as they get into revenge games with their ex is that they are effectively continuing the relationship. As long as their ex gets under their skin, they’re still entangled. The first step in freeing one’s mind from an ex’s control is to stop being influenced by what they think. An arm’s-length perspective is helpful: how would I handle this if it were a random stranger? This frees us to think for ourselves and react appropriately when an ex tries to cross boundaries. What we do with our minds, bodies and lives is not our ex’s decision, but our own. Being mentally ready to defend that right changes everything.
And with the internet, even in mid-pandemic, we’re free to talk to the people who really interest us, which is both freeing and allows us to grow into who we really want to be. Thank God for that.
