What are your thoughts on politicians causing panic to help their agenda?
 
This is something we see on a daily basis all over the place, regardless of what party the politician represents. I suppose it’s good marketing, but I’d say it’s terrible for society as a whole.
 
Yeah, mostly posturing, but no worse than what major news outlets do daily. Fear, fear, fear, buy this body spray so people will like you, fear, fear, fear, use this accident lawyer so you can get billions of dollars, fear, fear, fear. Thank you for tuning in.
 
I stopped listening to a lot of "news" because there is no point to it. I'll be happy just watching guinea pig videos on Facebook LOL

Yes!! Lots of otters, they're just so cute and squeaky :D

There are wild otters as well as mink in the area. It's kind of rare to see them, but I have gotten a glimpse while on my hikes of both. Pretty cool.
 
Panic and propaganda is some trait that every politician must be specialised in. I think it is a tactic that is necessary to succeed in politics.
 
I always think that it is a deliberate strategy to distract the masses and give them what to occupy themselves with while they wreck the entire country. At least, that's what has been happening in my country.
