Around election time, I posted on FB that I wished there was a filter for the following words: Trump, Clinton, Hilary, Republican, Democrat, election, poll. I would filter those words from my feed in order to reduce the misery content from my FB experience.

Today, I would add the words: Trumpcare, Obamacare, ACA, AHCA, healthcare, and insurance.

I enjoy FB to catch up with friends and families (near and far in space and time), see photos from their vacations and concerts they attend, and watch their kids grow up. These corrosive “news” posts on my feed seem to becoming more pervasive and are crowding out the fun posts from friends that FB would otherwise bring.

In reply to Unconventional Sustainability. Well said. I wonder how my kids will evolve with social media. Every generation gets their information a little differently and I wonder what these social medial platforms will evolve into. Thanks for reading :)

In reply to Tonya@Budget and the Beach. I think "being informed" is over-rated, but comedy is definitely under-rated. My wife made the interesting observation that the comedy shows are now delivering the news and the news is delivering comedy.
