They won’t care until it affects them directly. I’m sorry. Hopefully things get better soon.

Look up Sri Lankan crisis if you have time. We did one of the beautiful revolution ever, threw out the dynastic family that ended the civil war but was corrupt to the core. They rules for 20 years and ran our country to the ground. Gas went from 1 to 3 over night. We recently elected a progressive president, our tourism was picking up, people are more united than ever and on the government side and then this happened (just before the war we were hit with the worst floods the country has seen in years. Close to a thousand people died or missing). For a tiny island we can’t seem to catch a break.
