So there's a ton of countries that I've heard have had truly unaffordable housing for decades, like:

• The UK
• Ireland
• The Netherlands

And I've heard of a ton of countries where the cost of houses was until recently quite affordable where it's also started getting worse:

• Germany
• Poland
• Czechia
• Hungary
• The US
• Australia
• Canada
• And I'm sure plenty others

1. It seems to be a pan-Western bloc thing. Is the cause in all these countries the same?
2. We've heard of success stories in cities like Vienna where much of the housing stock is municipally owned – but those cities have had it that way for decades. Would their system alleviate the current crisis if established in the aforementioned countries?
3. What specific policies should I be demanding of our politicians to make housing affordable again? Is there any silver bullet? Has any country demonstrably managed to reverse this crisis yet?

Has the orange season come to your part of the world yet?

I've just been reading about how in the future, AI will allow us to speak with animals, and people will be able to communicate telepathically and live in their own VR worlds. (etc., etc.)

Man, this isn't a world I want to live in. I'm so tired of the constant paradigm shifting that you have to put your brain through with each innovation. I wish technology just stayed frozen in the 1980s – there would be so much less uncertainty in my life and I could just focus on being a human.

Innovation keeps being forced on you and I just feel tired. >!And I'm only just in my 20s!< Is this ok? Is this valid? When resisting it is a loser's game...

What the hell is this?

It would be far more consistent with the pronunciation of other similar words.

Edit: eg. the Apple ads

This is brilliant. It saves you from having to channel suggestions through MEPs. If a suggestion gets enough signatures they have to consider it.
