This is the same in more places and more jobs: Schools, hospitals, nursing homes, ...

Workers: we need more budget to attract new people. We're already stretched too thin as it is

Boss: I'm cutting the budget to save on costs. If you don't like it then quit.

Workers: That was the straw that broke the camel's back. Here's my notice. I quit.

Boss: You can't do that! Now I'm in trouble!

Disruptions are in the near future. Energy systems are changing, climate change is going to wreck things, wannabe dictators starting wars and others. Usually one of those isn't a problem but a lot of those at the same time wrecked past civilizations. But you can't predict how it'll all turn out.

If history is anything to go by, the English speaking world runs into some trouble. Nothing much new comes out in English while somebody else becomes dominant in research and publishes in their language. That's getting picked up in academia and politics and if anyone wants to be up to date, they learn that language. The other language now starts to distribute their movies exposing more people who pick up that language and spreading from there.

Sure, that can take a few generations. It's not like everybody just decided to switch right now

Italians (Latin) and Greeks were salty before them. And the Anglo-Saxons will be salty when Chinese, Indian or an African language becomes the new lingua franca. That's

Sounds like that system that Reddit announced with communist tokens and crypto.

Celebrities apparently.

Climate change also brings more chances to get extreme snowfall so that could be fun.

"Why is the engagement on my posts so low?"

"Well your Excellency, the great and powerful Musk, the users have blocked you."

"They can't do that. How else will they bask in my magnificence?"

"We tried ignoring the block and showing your posts anyway, but we had to reverse that decision unfortunately."

"I have it! Remove blocking completely for everyone!"

"You are most wise. It shall be done, your Excellency."

So what are we going to do about?

Yes, some will fail but like evolution in living creatures, better adapted regions and ideas will survive and flourish. It's the usual way in history. I figure it's our job to start adaption where possible.

This group ran out of money now Russia's finances are going from bad to worse?

Because to fix it, what they have to change is everything. The way things are powered, produced, financed and probably also governed. Nobody will vote for that. They'll keep trying to patch things up until it really starts to falls apart and people take the pieces to put them together differently.

I can be there at 8. Actually working still begins at the same time.

Those are all the flies attracted to shit.

Multi function printers always cause issues. I now have a separate scanner.

Babies evolved to cry all the time because their parents had this habit of making the species that just looked at the baby in a weird way go extinct.

I'm just think of it as TruthX. That's closer to what Twitter is becoming anyway.

There is no karma system so no people shitposting and reposting as much to pump up their score. Without this kind of gamification there is less noise.

The hippo principle, HIghest Paid Person's Opinion. Musk is a nice example for this, making changes that have to be turned back the next day all the time.

It's a classic cycle. Because some have gay leanings they see everything homosexual as a sinful temptation and assume it's the same for everyone else. The people must be protected against that perceived temptation so it must be forbidden. Meanwhile they fight against their own nature and succumb sometimes, which makes them repeat the cycle.
