Do you feel that becoming more informed about politics changes your life for the better?

Fair enough. But those endless wars are partially a result of apathy.

No, it makes me more cynical.

I always think being informed is an advantage over being ignorant to changes going on around me. Even if I [b]can’t[/b] stop it I can at least be prepared.

Politicians are largely useless.
You currently have Countries leaders with 'power' but no financing.
So, like Trump in the U.S. or Macron is France, they spout 24/7 to media, saying the same old same old and folk are figuring out that this current political class is devoid of ideas much less solutions !

It's not going to end well !

I used to be hyper-informed and interested in politics, but I just don't care anymore. I'm done with it all, besides a hilarious political podcast I used to listen to a lot, which still makes me laugh on occasion.

It adds zero to my life. It just takes away my energy, now.

Nope. The more I learn, the more unhappy I am.

I've never bothered with it too much, I feel like solely voting does not represent the people anymore. It changes nothing for me, except making me pay more taxes. Woohoo.

No The worse.. Becoming informed about economics makes you informed for the better, then you see how outrageous some of the politics is.

I try to kind of keep up but it does stress me out. I don’t think it’s a good idea to ignore it. I mean... it is our money being spent to keep the government running and it’s supposed to protect our rights which is pretty important. There’s so much hate and disinformation it can take a lot of time to figure out what’s really going on, especially if you take a day or two break from it and then try to catch up!

The point is to be informed.

I feel as if I can [i]understand[/i] things better, but I feel largely powerless to make any kind of real change, like embracing why your old car is beyond repair and to give up.
