The weather is always changing. You mean to say the climate is changing. It’s a very important distinction. And I’m not refuting what you said but I’m having a pleasant and normal feeling spring at my location.

Life is like a garden. If you want to sit around and curse at the thistles and weeds, you can, but they will continue to grow as you fixate on them. If you see beauty and follow it, then cultivate it, you will be in a beautiful garden. It’s not instantaneous, and it takes work. The work starts in your mind. Negative thoughts will blind you to good opportunities. If you don’t know where you’re going, any place will get you there. Maybe a good place to start is finding the tolerable humans, and see where it takes you.
Healthcare, food, and housing for the poor.
On hiking trails, I move rocks and branches, and fix drainage at water bars. Tiny improvements which make the trail easier for all who follow.
In my neighborhood, I pick up trash. Usually I go until I have filled a grocery bag, about 30 minutes. Though people do notice it so it’s only partly secret/anonymous.
My observation from hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, and also from babies, is that you can burn through your blood sugar in about 2 hours. It doesn’t matter what you eat but target 200-300 calories every 2 hours while working. In a 12-hour shift that might be 5 snack breaks in addition to breakfast and dinner.
I would bring everything you like eating, like a big snack bag, and just eat what looks good for 10 minutes. Potato chips, Cheetos, Nutter Butters (or other cookies), dinner leftovers, trail mix, candy bars, fruit snacks, cheez-its. I like Pro Bars for their caloric density. For breakfast whole milk Greek yogurt has a lot of protein. Smoothie or with granola & seeds/nuts.
And it too, can be quite harmful if not properly ventilated.
Shrinking sizes is only part of it. Every ingredient/component is getting cheaper, less durable, less nutritious. Some companies try to offer higher quality but most people can’t afford it.
I do use soap but not anti bacterial soap, just dr bronners. But I really scratch with my finger nails. Anyway I don’t wear deodorant. I don’t smell until 2-3 days without a shower.
Stop withholding tax from paychecks. Pay quarterly and make a bunch of small errors. If a million people do this they will be so overwhelmed, that the only reasonable choice will be to tax the rich.
They’ve had a bunch of mass attacks by knife and vehicles. Guess what the CCP does?
Improve quality of life? No. Make chef knives harder to obtain? Yes Profile childless men and monitor them? Yes
Nobody is judging you anymore. You’re free to live how you want to. Most people struggle to find a balance between working and life. So you’re not alone there.
I met this traveling nurse who spends fall, winter and spring working, and then spends summer traveling and hiking in the mountains. I met a teacher who does the same. There are many seasonal workers who put in a lot of work in a burst and then take time to themselves - firefighters, wine grape harvest, ski lift/resort.
Keep an open mind, and live simply. Keep few possessions which add a lot of value to your life. Think of what you want to do, then figure out how to get there. At least then if you are working a boring job, it is moving you toward your own goal.
