Never! It is the pursuit of votes. The very idea that a politician would act out of boredom is laughable. Never underestimate a politician's drive, even when you think they are imbeciles. Battles are often lost because one derides/underestimates the opponent. All successful politicians have a base of support, they do nothing with a logical reason. To deny such is to put yourself on the losing side.
Smokers have nothing to debate with and those who cannot accept the current situation are simply reduced to complaining and name calling. Not a very effective antidote to real life complaints. Simply enjoy your tobacco and quit tilting at the many windmills of life. You "nattering nabobs of negatively" (A Spiro quote. His only worthwhile one.) have a dull, poorly lived life ahead of you.
Warren, you are once again being the forum’s resident contrarian. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a positive post from you.
There are plenty of things in life that don’t necessarily benefit people, yet we defend and debate our right to access that thing. To say that “smokers have nothing to debate with” is wrong.
The woke culture is built on many things, but boredom is most certainly one of the elements. When you run out of things to complain about you must find something new, some new cause to “fight for.” That is what “woke” culture is all about. Now, I will give you that politicians are doing it mainly to get votes. You are correct about that. However, my point is that when there is very little to fix, politicians will find something to fix (take California for example), hence my use of the term boredom.
May God bless you on this fine Sunday, Warren. I hope that we can one day be brothers.
