Speaking to an 85 year old English woman today. She is furious with how the UK is in decline. No respect for elders, professionals, police. Parents abdicating responsibility for educating their kids who seem out of control - always on devices, watching ever more violent content, wanting everything now. No leaders prepared to get to the root of the problem, just offering short term solutions to superficial issues.

I suggested it is the culmination of wtf happened in 1971.

- declining food standards, which is documented as a tactic to hide inflation

- the out of control kids, many are ill from effects of long term high chemical loading, and poor diet. Glyphosate and autism rises coincide. Attention deficit coinciding with iPhone, other such "conspiracies"

- disenfranchised parents/the working poor, can't or don't always set the best examples.

- government agencies not necessarily working for the people's interests with pressure from the corporations offering the revolving doors for the political classes

- politicians who do introduce positive change only have 4-5 years to run with it before their work is undone. Meanwhile most politicians just work on 4-5 year cycles to get reelected or enriched, the people be damned.

- the disjointed on- the-ground thinking is stirred up further mixed by media to reduce resolve, distract, divide a society that if united might force change.

- and while society bumbles from one thought to another, the elites who run the 2% inflation game are testing the rewards of 70 years of resolve and consistency to get what they want.

Of course Bitcoin solves a lot of this, but being a bitcoiner sounds too easy! Except buying and holding bitcoin isn't easy, but it is peaceful, relative to the usual unthinkable option - pulling all the guilty parties out their beds in an act of revolution.

I doubt she will or even should worry about solutions, that's on her grandkids. They are the hope, assuming they are not physically, psychiatrically and emotionally impaired by a continuation of the status quo / managed decline.
