Honestly, I think it's incredible we're all not on our knees just considering the implications of climate catastrophe, let alone anything else.
Anyone not having a hard time of it, must be a sociopath or a psychopath as far as I'm concerned.

England lost 28% of local bus provision* per person between 2011 and 2023.
This isn't new. But it still shocks me and has significant economic, social and environment consequences.
