I have stopped reading the news because I don't want to think about the situation in the US and the problems it is creating in the world. I used to love reading The Economist, The New Yorker, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. But I had decided to stop even opening the newsletters because I didn't want to know about it. I just wanted to keep my head in the sand for four years, and then I thought things would return to normal. I asked myself what I could read. I said I could read Scientific American. So, one night, I couldn't sleep, and I got out my iPad and started reading old issues. I started with the oldest issue on my iPad from 2017. I started reading from the beginning, and the first three articles were about the terrible situation in the US because he was president in 2017. The articles were about scientists marching against anti-science policies and the crazy alternative facts that were being spread by the US administration. I couldn't get away from it.
