The constant drip drip drip drip of the cost of living crisis.
Gary Stevenson has risen to notoriety because he's called a spade spade.
Wealth is driving poverty. The cost of living crisis is a product of spiraling wealth disparity on many different levels.
Simple wealth disparity means the rich can simply outbid a working class person for a house. Pernicious disparity occurs with monopoly.

Also, IMO, pouring extreme resources into activities with high CTE rates is also stupid. My kid is going to a college with a lame-ass football team and throws all its scholarship funds into rewarding academic achievement.

Decentralization means a media outlet can run their own social media server and nobody can stop them from going viral. No matter what inconvenient news they publish. The only barrier to this is the people you know staying on the other platforms. Until that changes, shitty govts and big tech/media assholes and advertisers will dominate what most of us know about and focus on. And that will determine elections and so much of what happens IRL. #SocialWeb #DemocracyOfReach

in reply to Micr0byte • • •The image features a clear glass mug filled with a light brown beverage, likely a latte or cappuccino, with a frothy top displaying a latte art design resembling a swan or leaf. The mug has a handle and is placed on a dark wooden table. Surrounding the mug are three small, round candies: two white and one brown, suggesting a variety of flavors. To the left, there is a woven placemat, and in the background, a colorful coaster with the text "The Happy Hour" is visible, along with a few other indistinct items. The overall setting suggests a cozy, inviting atmosphere, possibly in a café or a home setting.
