regarding orthography, I used to be REALLY GOOD at it in school.
Then came the Rechtschreibreform of 1996, followed by various revisions. I couldn’t keep up, and eventually decided to give up, seemingly along with everyone else
(Wikipedia says that the multiply-reformed orthography “von den meisten Verlagen aber nur in Form von daran orientierten Hausorthographien angewendet [wird].”)
generally it's very difficult for people to change from the orthography they were taught as schoolchildren, and sweeping orthographical updates are consolidated when a new generation grows into them.
"pilôto" (pre-1970) feels quaint and historical to me, but I struggle to make myself write "voo" (current) rather than "vôo" (pre-1990), and probably will write "vôo" through the decades I have left. while for my children "vôo" is as historical as "pilôto".
if a literate community doesn't periodically update their orthography to the phonology, though, it ends up in a situation like English, where they still write the words the way they were spoken 500 years ago, and then every child has to learn to reproduce 500 years of phonetic developments and call them "spelling rules". and nobody wants their orthography to become as outdated as English. so we ought to be grateful for (phonetic) spelling reforms, even though they trigger a flag in the pattern-matching features of our brains that child us worked so hard to calibrate back when we learned to read.

Das Bild zeigt eine üppige Blumenbeetung, die in voller Blüte steht. Im Vordergrund sind verschiedene Blumenarten zu sehen, darunter rosa und magentafarbene Blüten, die sich deutlich von den weißen und gelben Blüten im Hintergrund abheben. Die Blumen sind dicht beieinander gepflanzt und bilden eine farbenfrohe Mischung. Die Blätter sind grün und dicht, was auf eine gesunde Pflanzenlage hinweist. Im Hintergrund sind weitere Pflanzen und Bäume zu erkennen, die das Beet umrahmen. Der Himmel ist blau und klar, was auf einen sonnigen Tag hinweist. Die Blumenbeetung scheint gut gepflegt zu sein und bietet eine natürliche und farbenfrohe Szenerie.

La Corte costituzionale ha riconosciuto profili di illegittimità della detenzione nei CPR. Non ha dichiarato l’incostituzionalità della norma, rimettendo al legislatore il compito di sanarne i vizi, perché sarebbe crollato l’intero sistema del CPR.
Un giudice ha già rimesso in libertà un migrante, richiamando la sentenza e l'incompatibilità della detenzione nei CPR con la Costituzione. Stessa sorte potrebbe toccare a chi sia portato in Albania. Oggi spiego tutto questo

@RichardJMurphy hits the nail on the head (as so often):
'if any political party wishes to truly succeed — not just scrape by, but build lasting loyalty and transform this country — it must make the promise that it will put people first, meet their needs from cradle to grave, and offer them freedom from fear'!
However, our political class seems quite some way from that agenda....

We need a politics that meets needs
I recorded a podcast with Tony Groves and Martin McMahon from the Echo Chamber Podcast in Ireland yesterday, which I do every few weeks or so. This is now published, but only for subscribers.Funding the Future
I'd say we might suffice with a social democratic party run along Keynesian lines, but certainly we'll not get it from the current mainstream parties it would seem
"Freedom from fear" is an interesting notion as individuals fears vary so greatly. Fears created by culture, religion and poor education are amplified by politicians and media. I fear climate change and fascism; others fear societal change and woke lefties.
A nation won't be free of fear, but it might feel better if its fears are heard and represented. Westminster-centric adversarial FPTP politics will not achieve this.
