I've given up trying to fix or work on everything because everyone has some huge project and it feels like nobody's listening to anyone else. After politicians, I'm just going to sit back and vote for every huge new clashes-with-everything-else idea and enjoy the chaos. I mean, yesterday I gave up something as simple as defining the word "spend" because it has to support meaning like 4 different things depending on context. Better to just leave it undefined and have everyone choose on their own what they want it to mean.
