In October 2024 I would not have guessed that we'd ever see masked agents killing people on the streets of major US cities, or the US administration immediately accusing the victims of being armed terrorists. Things can change rapidly. By allowing things to get this bad, we have unfortunately forfeited our right to pretend things can't change rapidly. Let's plug in; fix this situation; and then folks can go back to ignoring the news.

"Every few months" would make the important question for that ~ October 2025, not 2024.
The available news in October 2025 said "this is a question of when, not if".

Most people consume news as entertainment that breeds anxiety without agency. Operatives filter ruthlessly to quarterly digests or primary signals, then redirect that saved attention into building leverage in their niche that outlasts any headline cycle. foundniche.com turns distraction into disciplined execution. Pick your signal, build your escape.
