People only caring if it personally affects them is a part of how it got this bad in the first place.

“oh this? this is just my news boner. I really love the news”

It’s ridiculous that Christmas decorations and shopping starts popping up in stores 4 months early in September (late August in some cases). No other holiday is like that. It’s like seeing Valentine’s Day stuff out in November or Halloween out in July. Personally, I feel oversaturated and sick of Christmas by the time it actually arrives.
