So, all the stuff about mental health from @andyburnham is just talk. No more money, no more staff, just an already cash-strapped and overstretched NHS expected to magic up a bunch of new services from nothing.
BOOMER: "Nobody wants to work anymore."
YOU: "I work 50 hours a week."
BOOMER: "Doing what, on a computer?"
YOU: "Yes. It pays $58,000."
BOOMER: "I made $18,000 and owned a house."
YOU: "That's the whole point."
BOOMER: "We didn't complain, we just worked."
YOU: "You worked one job and got a pension. I work one job and get a 401k match if I'm lucky."
BOOMER: "Nobody handed me anything."
YOU: "College was $600 a year. Your first house was 2x your salary. Your employer covered your family's health insurance."
BOOMER: "That was normal back then."
YOU: "Exactly. It was normal. Now it's impossible."
BOOMER: "So what do you want, a handout?"
YOU: "I want what was normal."
BOOMER: *silent*
You didn't outwork us.
You just lived in the version of the country where working was enough.
Would be good if we invented some sort of system for collecting rain water during the rainy season, so we can use it during the dry season.
A reserve supply, or something.
Car dependency is the ultimate trap. You need a car to get a job, need the job to pay for the car, and the whole time the city is designed so walking feels like a personal failure.
My feed this morning is JK Rowling, John Cleese, Rupert Lowe
I follow none of them.
Their politics are to the exact opposite end of the scale to mine
And the algorithm knows that.
Fuck Elon Musk
Why are the right so thick? We can’t have an NHS anymore because we have more people. We can’t have clean water because we have more people. Etc etc. More people paying taxes and bills = more services and infrastructure. You just argue against it cos the rich tell you too. Pricks
Imagine this.
You’re a Palestinian man walking with your child in Jerusalem.
Then they appear:
IDF soldiers starting to beat you in front of your child.
All because you walked too close to a Jewish-only area.
That is pure apartheid.
Never forget that the clowns who are currently saying “we can’t stop climate change, just accept it” are the same people who spent the last decade doing everything possible to prevent us from stopping climate change.
Travelling on trains in England is great because it’s £80 and your train is then cancelled due to “shortage of staff”, you then get on the next one that has double the people and no available seats, and then they’ll announce “btw, toilets aren’t working and the shop’s closed” xx
"Everything they've said is a lie". Couple's back garden flooded with sewage.
No doubt @Ofwat can explain to us why South West Water still have an operating licence.
