So, is that another way of saying... "I'm allowed to consume, but you're not"?

Well, a few countries have a declining birthrate, but they also still have a declining death rate, and therefore a growing population.

To say nothing of the countries with a booming birthrate, resulting in a net world increase...

You just gotta look at somewhere like Birmingham. I considered living there at one point, but on a visit I realised exactly how bad the city centre was when compared to somewhere like Manchester.

But on your point - that's basically the whole of the USA. When you stop and ask for directions, they immediately start talking about stoplights - they simply can't fathom that you might actually be on foot.

Then you have something like the Vegas strip, completely impossible to cross something like that. I once remember in Lake Tahoe, trying to cross what was basically motorway, and the pedestrian light having a 10-second countdown to cross something like 6 lanes, lol.

I think round here sone of them are German. Ironic that they're nowhere near as punctual as actual German trains

All along I've been thinking you're Dutch, now I'm realising that you're probably not...

Yeah, more or less, apart from in the south, busses are just for poor people.

Just "unemployed" though? That's just false spin.

Per gov figures published in Dec 2023, "in 2022, 22% of working age people in England, Scotland and Wales were economically inactive".

In other words, 9,278,000 people. Last month. Not including children and pensioners.
You're in UK, you like it there? Think you'd like living in u.s. a lot more?
