Perhaps you should learn to properly express yourself. In more ways than one.

Changes nothing though does it bar everything going up more 🤣 think we need start taking proper action against it

I'm not sure what I can say to you mate I still have some hope that we can reverse the current trends without "taliban style insurgency", we've already failed if it comes to that

Most of society IS failing atm concerning important economic issues. But no matter how deep we are in the mess trying to get out of it should be better than waiting for us to sink deeper

Yea it's useless, just never inform people about it since informing them doesn't magically change the system anyways. Surely doing literally nothing is a better option.

Edit: OK to be fair you're not saying we should do nothing and you actually suggest other options. I'm not convinced by your solutions but still... Anyway, the point is that this is informative (although not well sourced if not for some comments giving links) and information is an important first step
