I can understand someone looking at the long term projections and worrying, but they are long term projections. That gives you time to sort out mental health support (if that&#39;s what you think the issue is). It also feels like a relatively small saving for all the damage it will be do. 2025-03-19T20:17:03Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsfrkcpn24h2zxdg8r9ll99pchkrcn48y965pph3xmvekcwuacrtyszyqqucmxxxmxc3c3k489us7u966g68y9upwak8yas4ywe32a40e8cjvq92tf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspmn6pdd9r6m6neravqchp5y09encdrc0t0zz2cnqc4pvdrr4rxecn9m079'>nevent1q…m079</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I rarely have that problem. Mind you, I&#39;m rarely well enough to go *first* thing, but any later than first thing gets my circulation / brain working.

I have no expertise here (I&#39;m no psychologist, counsellor or anything) but I&#39;m persuaded that a good proportion of poor mental health is a feature of individualising societal problems. If we dealt with housing shortages, pandemics, employer closures collectively it could all look very different <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/healing-the-wounded-healers/202410/can-we-separate-individual-mental-health-from-the">https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/healing-the-wounded-healers/202410/can-we-separate-individual-mental-health-from-the</a> 2025-03-12T09:29:51Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsy7sprupjd4a60xugcfn2h9dcv7g4pwzf8s6rgw5wnemdfnze2nzgzyqqucmxxxmxc3c3k489us7u966g68y9upwak8yas4ywe32a40e8cjgm4dkh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9juwpm237u85kggfahvyy69dnlc0v6j9rfulhn48785a8rjzzmtcs547uh'>nevent1q…47uh</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I feel that might be an accurate perception. If you have a large share portfolio, the economy is doing well. If you are a minimum wage worker, when was the last time there was a raise in the minimum wage? The trouble is, I don&#39;t see any resolution that doesn&#39;t involve wealth redistribution and I don&#39;t see that happening anywhere any time soon. 2025-02-21T08:28:56Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszhevvwheqaszw3jz0jvkvhrhuj006m7wpuzcwah9nnf0a2axd8uszyqqucmxxxmxc3c3k489us7u966g68y9upwak8yas4ywe32a40e8cj0aa90c In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyj0e46xvkye395n2p7u7g6jqvq0vf72daljswk4xqu6k3mptynmq3yncae'>nevent1q…ncae</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Is there a difference between the Void and listening to Musak (apart from hearing me scream)? 2025-02-05T06:36:07Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsddx0c424nd9y0tmd5xyfehv5d97kyclpasn7g5yaa0geg59ht25czyqqucmxxxmxc3c3k489us7u966g68y9upwak8yas4ywe32a40e8cjsv453q I thought I would scream into the void today, but even they put me on hold 2025-02-04T19:01:16Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsz52x223cr7jagqsjh6wjrs35kmkqmmucgyjwtp8q8204dc0xp7dqzyqqucmxxxmxc3c3k489us7u966g68y9upwak8yas4ywe32a40e8cja2p3uy In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8g9plz6a85s7zfzmd6s468g5trd000xk9nedqs48940l8yj0uc3cr5ufpd'>nevent1q…ufpd</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>one of the underlying problems isn&#39;t entirely the ONS&#39; problem. It&#39;s declining response rates to official surveys. Sure, I agree the ONS are the professionals who need to address that as best they can, but it feels like a bigger issue of trust in institutions, civic duty or something that really lies with national leaders, not technicians here.

But even if they are withering, they are soooooo much better than a vote on twitter or whatever &#34;they&#34; think counts as data collection. 2024-12-13T09:16:42Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0n9lqnravvqp6ew6mawqgxnlym82qqvz6skpvsp3as78wwluk0nczyqqucmxxxmxc3c3k489us7u966g68y9upwak8yas4ywe32a40e8cj97y9un In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0483l0lfsr807qa2uutl2wj4yxa9sx08p4vkmxatymtz6kuc8u7s5rcnan'>nevent1q…cnan</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Eglot and Corfu in Emacs along with a latex and R language server. 2024-12-10T13:17:55Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsz0ad8wn40avs5semtwh9jcqa3rvkqv02vn3gnfs8ala259danlhgzyqqucmxxxmxc3c3k489us7u966g68y9upwak8yas4ywe32a40e8cjlcj6uw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrzepvjk67hgj53nrvj7svzt5g2960dj8yw7dy4nuctg0n6s0qyncj5d670'>nevent1q…d670</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>David Aaronovitch has written a brilliant piece on this, where he mainly reprints an old article of his about fix hunting where all the same doom-mongering was being raised (and hasn&#39;t happened).
