09/13/23 • 8 min

Ever wondered what you should be telling yourself but not others? We've got a mind-bender for you - "It could always be worse". Join us as we navigate this intriguing mantra, pointing out its potential merits but also its pitfalls. We're not suggesting you neglect your struggles, but rather frame them differently, turning the scales of your problems in your favor.
Through this episode, we aim to explore the curious balance between comfort and undermining someone's feelings, and how the phrase "It could always be worse" fits into this context. We discuss how this perspective shifting can serve as a coping mechanism during challenging times, whether you lean on faith, luck or chance. We also delve into why this phrase, while beneficial to our own mental health, may not be the best thing to say to others, especially during significant life crises. Embark on a journey with us that may just redefine how you approach life's difficulties.

Questioning the Truths of Masks, Vaccines, and Biden's Leadership

Wondering how we got to a point where the vaccinated are seemingly more likely to contract COVID-19? Our skepticism mirrors that of the majority we've spoken with, as we question the truth behind masks, vaccinations, and ventilators. We're perplexed, saddened, and frustrated with the situation we find ourselves in - join us as we unpack this absurdity.
It's hard to ignore the contradictions in President Biden's actions. His inconsistent adherence to mask mandates - encouraging others yet disregarding them himself - fuels our doubts about his leadership. Awarding a medal of honor to an elderly veteran, maskless, is one of the many head-scratchers. The president's delayed responses to national tragedies, such as the Maui fires, and his absence from the 9/11 memorial, only raise more questions. We dissect his actions and the resulting public perception, delving into why some still support him unconditionally.
