I may have written about this already ~ I can't remember anything. I may have called it something else.
It's my idea for tamping the panic we are pretty much all getting from the news: you don't have to be doomscrolling, you don't even have to be reading the paper ~ one glance at the headlines is usually plenty.
So: pick an area of concern, say healthcare or free speech or immigration. Or a tiny piece of one of these. That's your portfolio. Learn what you can, do what you can, & leave the rest to others. To quote a famous line from Pirkei Avot (The Sayings of the Fathers), attributed to Rabbi Tarfon: It is not up to you to finish the work, but neither are you free to desist from it.
