    You ever get the feeling that when articles like this say low income kids are more effected, it’s like, a justification of what’s happening?

      If not a justification, then a reason to delay doing anything about climate change. It’s not affecting the people that really matter yet, right?

        There’s a game I occasionally play. One of the metric you gotta keep tabs on making sure your population doesn’t become as free as your nobles.

        You get a game over screen asking who will fetch my water if not the commoner. I feel stuff like this is a reflection of that thought.
