(44,022 posts)automation unemployment and climate change are informative but pretty heavy. And the transitions must be faced. There's also interesting discussion now Re effort and time going into redirecting the political system to face these serious challenges and many others, discounting the advanced local and regional economies that are working well. My reply to your well meant post last evening was rude and unusual, my apologies.
Apart from many who are unaware, we're now trying to educate several close ones who will be most impacted by the coming changes and it's been unsuccessful, so far. A parent of two bright, beautiful millennials is highly intelligent, strong and brave, but hard-headed and stubborn as a mule! Can't tell them anything. This adds to frustration and sorry that it carried over in my doom rant. As you pointed out there are many positive actions taking place all around by many committed, creative people. That's very inspiring; and things aren't all that bad. On that note I'll close and wish you a healthy day. (That coastal demographic I referenced, I'm part of it in the east, btw).
