Owen will be planning
ANOTHER of his podcasts where middle class 30 somethings endlessly go over the same crap about poverty.
To be fair, when I was 30 I thought I knew it all. I couldn't understand why older people had such a different take on a situation, or why they thought everything was so difficult to address.
Guess what? Now I am that "older man" I no longer think I know it all. I now realise that nothing in government (or life to be honest) is simple or easy. Everything is complex, people are complex. And people are on the whole selfish, after all, who wouldn't put their own family first?
I have lived long enough to know crises come and go. They are all over the news, people fearful and panicking, but it ends up being dealt with, either successfully or sometimes less so. Eventually people look back and despair at what happened, promising it will never happen again, but it does. They then just carry on with life until the next crisis.
I could go on but I think you lovely Fraus are on the same page, so I'd be preaching to the converted.
Anyhow, on topic. Jack and Owen can talk until the cows come home, the country will still be up
tit creak without a paddle. Nothing they say will make the slightest bit of difference, because nobody that matters is listening.
Long post, sorry/not sorry (delete as applicable)
