Thanks for posting this. It’s a good slap to the face, and helps to ground me. Maybe I’ll put the movie in my Netflix queue.

Let me be clear - people with legit issues get a pass. Social distancing for people who are alone or depressed is a real concern. Same for kids and spouses who are abused.

I'm talking about reporters and otherwise "normal" people bitching about only being able to go outside once a day and being denied going to the movies etc. Having to drink tap vs bottled water is NOTHING,

You need to redirect yourself away from the negativity.

Unfortunately, social media, especially for teenaged girls, is an echo chamber of negativity, in which each one pretends to believe the tales of woe from all the others, and they play, "Can you top this?" in competition for the position of Saddest Victim of awful parents providing us with the easiest life in the history of the world.

When they're at school, having to go to school is the Worst Ever Torture. Now that they're not, they pretend to love school, because you don't get any status points for being cheerful and upbeat about today's circumstances. "Come and see the violence inherent in the system!!!"

Oh give me a break.
