"Out Of Touch."

If you turned on the news this week, or spent five minutes scrolling through social media, you probably felt that familiar tightness in your chest. It feels like every headline is trying to convince us that the world is burning, that our neighbors are our enemies, and that the only thing that matters is whatever manufactured drama is happening in a studio or a legislative chamber five hundred miles away.But then you turn off your phone. You walk outside. You go to the grocery store, you fill up your truck, you pick up your kids from practice, or you sit down at the kitchen table to figure out the monthly budget.And suddenly, there’s this massive disconnect.The people who claim to lead us, the commentators, the politicians, the high-altitude decision-makers—seem to be playing a completely different game than the one the rest of us are living every day. They're debating abstract talking points, while regular people are just trying to navigate real life.
