Competition for Attention!
I find myself wondering what to pay attention to first. The competition seems to be growing every day. For example:
Floods in Pakistan
War in Ukraine
The Queen in Britain
The coming midterm elections
Investigations of Trump
Fires in California
The soon-to-end baseball season
The now-beginning football season
My Premier League fantasy football team
A dysfunctional government
Income inequality here and around the world
Increasing political bitterness
Covid and a new booster shot
Inflation
And much more . . .
