Summed up concisely. I’ve unfortunately given up hope that anything can be done or can improve. It feels the fight, whatever fight there ever was, has been lost.

Are you on Firefox? I use an extension called PagezoomWE or something like that. It remembers the zoom level for you.
That seems like good news. Interesting to see US drug policy being more lenient than the UK in many instances.
(Some reasons) Why people vote for right wing populists:
(I’m well aware that other things can be reasons, too, like perceived loss of living standards, increased political corruption etc. But honestly, I think it’s all down to rich people fucking things up…see below for some proposed fixes)
Approaches that could fix this (good luck trying that in the arch-neoliberal EU):
The above and the fallout from it, would instantly free up money for public services, free education and healthcare and eradicate homelessnes. You wouldn’t need a UBI, if public services were good enough and well funded.
Technically I’m far more radical in my opinions and think that housing should be declared a human right and all drugs legalised and all those fancy things, but honestly, it feels we have more pressing matters at hand, namely, inequality. Until that gets fixed, we can’t really progress as a society.
My main worry here being that it can’t be done. I simply don’t see how, as a society, we will ever gain the cohesion to implement decisive action against the ruling classes. They have become untouchable and would rather burn the whole thing down than give an inch.
You are right, this fixes slow startup times for Steam, Firefox, Thunderbird and various others.
Yeah, you’re not alone. I’ve basically become an anti-natalist. I don’t think the ruling / owning class will budge unless their lives are affected. And that won’t happen until there’s no more slaves to support their insane lifestyles.
