    Pay attention to “events that actually happen” and “things that people in power say.” Pay far less attention to “kvetching and predicting.”

    If you stop paying attention entirely, you’re going to end up with a whole lot of Shocked Pikachu Face in your future.

      I read something long ago that I can’t find anymore that said something to the extent of, pay attention to the movement of money, troops and people. I struggle to understand what stuff that the news reports on means, so I like the deeper stories that report on an expert’s opinion of what somebody said means or shows like 60 minutes over the Nightly News. I avoid the bloggers and vloggers since they are not experts on the important topics.
