I read this article recently and I was just thinking about my news consumption and how much I want to be affected by it.
I feel like it is important because shit is going on in the world however I usually don’t change my habits much over it.
I also think that there should be a middle ground somewhere but I can’t think of it so if anyone of you have ideas please share them.
Replying to myself: the last time the news mattered in my daily life was this week when I considered flying to Fairbanks, Alaska and discovered that prices are significantly higher than a year ago. I suspect the hike relates to the grounding of planes as seen from that video of the door plug failure and the FAAs subsequent grounding of that type of plane (and possibly a second type now, but last I heard that was not yet a hard grounding, but only inspection). This gives me a general idea that perhaps prices will drop when the planes are back in service and I’m better off waiting until then.
