Comment on I am in the US and its gotten very political but as pretty much a peon do I just tune the stuff out thinking its fear mongering? Or should I closely pay attention to it?

I’m off the opinion that knowledge is always power. You can always ignore what you’ve learned to stay sane.

Not so easy to Ignore what you know.

Knowledge is power, but ignorance is bliss.

I follow the news until I can’t take it any more, and take a break until I can again.

  Yeah, actually sounds like what I do. It can get depressing, but I try not to stay away too long. I don’t want to be blindsided by something that might affect me.
  
  A good example is when I got rid of cable TV, I didn’t get a lot of local news and wasn’t aware until late that a hurricane was heading my way.
