@paultassi.bsky.social Don't you think this is exactly the kind of thing that Bungie should be doing with Destiny 2? Though they've made attempts for a better new user experience, there's still not a proper campaign to take new users into the game.

Fiddling around to maintain your tentative fiscal position doesn't look strong. It looks like you've made yourself a permanent hostage to fortune. Ruling out tax rises when everyone can see they're necessary doesn't look tough. It looks mad and insincere.

When you realize everyone is healing from something, it’s a lot easier to be kind to people as a default.
Kind doesn’t always mean nice. It means human, it means recognizing the soul that sometimes gets buried.

Quick reminder that the NHS was built just after the Second World War, when the population had endured unimaginable trauma and the country was broke.
The ‘it’s broken and it can’t be fixed’ line is just political rhetoric. Of course it can be fixed - it’s a question of political will.
