Just because they are stupid doesn't mean you are to be stupid with them. There tends to be a need like a check people do sometimes looking around see how well adjusted others are than not. As in when I was in school if I had a issue I would ask the other kids and ask if this was a concern of theirs and I would write down if the ayes or neys have it. If no one is concerned then it's only a concern of mine I would let it go to get well adjusted in a positive environment.
You know nothing helps more than a labor force full of fear mongered people that never made enough money for a education with generations of family members rolling in quicksand. Hard to get out of that and so is why small towns are small they can't have anything. Can't be creative sitting there looking at the future with no future.
Mostly they need their A$$ kicked by society, to shake the nuts from the tree, forced social mobility a naturalistic point of view like in time faster than seeing a broken down 80's Ford on the side of the road with the hood up burned up force to get a better car that doesn't leave oil everywhere. Make the air smell better don't have to walk around it all the time. The way life should be! I don't have the luxury of buying a domestic car that I would have to fix all the time frigidity, frigidity with the hood up. I have to get to my destination on time I buy reliable cars it's a investment in yourself. But always lease domestic cars so you don't get stuck with the cost of repairs! Point there is a correction in time a burn and grow like thing. Even the most fear mongered people burn up in time, they will have to do better for themselves as most of the others pass them by!
***One of the saddest things about our current state of affairs is how much time is expended on imaginary fears largely manufactured by manipulative media, MAGA-poisoned pols, and the always dependable religious nuts and conspiracy mongers. These rants and performative stunts have long passed the point of novelty or entertainment.
They've also become so pervasive that smart leaders can no longer ignore them. Because when people are confused or lose confidence in their leaders and institutions, they become driven by their fears instead of their hopes. And in startups especially, it's all about hopes and dreams for the world, not fears of and for it.
This increasingly dire situation -- where team members in firms of all sizes are losing faith -- would be plenty painful if these garbage conversations, infantile behaviors, and trashings of the rule of law were confined to D.C. Republicans making fools of themselves certainly isn't the worst thing that could happen in a Congress now led by fools, fascists, frauds, and football coaches. It's actually something of a relief that this crew couldn't pass a bill that had any prospect of becoming law. Nor could they fashion a budget that made even the slightest sense if their lives -- instead of their notoriety, incomes, and fundraising -- depended on it.
But when the nonstop noise begins to impact our own employees' attitudes and our businesses' prospects, it's another matter entirely. When you walk around and see more of your people worrying than working, arguing about nonsense instead of advancing the company, and focusing on a foreboding future, it's time for you to step in, like it or not, because there's nothing more frightening than scared people. https://www.inc.com/howard-tullman/you-cant-be-creative-if-you-are-fearful.html
