It's a bit hard to disentangle the "USA is on fire" events over the last year from the "working from home is the cause".
For me, it's been really challenging during weeks of BLM protests: the seeming insignificance of tasks at work as compared to the plight of people across our troubled nation. Similarly, during the elections, when it seemed like we could have end up with 4 more years of inaction during a time when every year matters in averting a global warming catastrophe.
It's a bit easier now that the government is better aligned with what I think is a good direction.
