This feels like an ideologically motivated article. Something along the lines of "boomers bad". They don't actually provide any evidence to support the assertion in the headline that "Gen Z members flock to climate caree

I wouldn't want this at all. Just off the top of my head I can think of a ton of use cases this makes hard: * I ask a seller on FB marketplace to send me some pictures of an item * I need to send pictures of some documents to my solici

I think it actually did bring people together. In the UK at least there has been a noticeable change in the national atmosphere.

I guess I would then argue that your points one and two are the same, and therefore have a similar fix - that the lack of labour imports will impact standard of living (either through logistics, farming, or other unskilled work) We need to

A couple of counterpoints (offered in good faith): > - the UK needs the import/export flow it was used to pre-brexit to keep their current life style. That is about goods, which are totally separate to immigration. > - the curren

I wonder how much of this comes down to people working longer and less social hours, and the decline in multigenerational households providing childcare to working age parents. Having the time to browse through a department store at your le

Do you not think that "code red" fatigue is part of this? Ordinary people are bombarded with messages predicting doom at some distant point in the future for one reason or another on an almost daily basis, and yet life rolls on.
