I don't actually know any of this stuff, since I made it a point over a decade ago to never follow news. Life is too short to waste on this stuff if you have no intention to use the knowledge to take any kind of action anyway.

It's not a bad idea. I've gone cold turkey from politics and news for months at a time when I feel like it's taking up too much time.
But I do enjoy trying to understand what's happening, why it's happening, and what happens next. Since I enjoy it, I don't consider it a complete waste of time.
As for taking action, I think it's important that I do take action, but it's not clear what actions can make a real difference. I think understanding what is going on can help with figuring out which actions are effective and coming up with new ideas.

If you figured out an action and you feel like sharing, let us know.
