Funny part is that we are likely 3 generations into this comic now. I was told the same thing 25 years ago more or less, and have been largely powerless to do anything. If anything the situation has been normalized. I see massive waste in modern consumer goods for example, with zero concern that the production of those goods is also contributing to climate. Like hell, the state of refrigerators today is wild with people replacing them within 10 years as if that is normal.

Yes, I got the nation wrong, it was New Zealand.

The UK has this weird thing about cannabis, while treating cocaine as a drug of "productive" people. It is getting better (the UK has a 48% of people supporting legislation, one the lowest in the western world but moving towards the positive) the media is not helping the stigma however:

Same reason people in the UK think cocaine is safer then cannabis, public stigma.

Terribly sorry, I got my down under nations mixed up. It was New Zealand that tried.

Did they look at Australia and the colossal failure trying the same thing, and thought "but we will be different"?

This might be a shock, but we are not all americans. I know its hard for americans to get their head around but people do exist outside of the usa.

My bank now charges my business to deposit cash. The cash or cashless part is not relivent to the greed.

What? No really, what are you talking about?

What the dog doin'?

War crimes apparently, the type of man made horrors beyond most human's comprehension. I don't get how we have such a large delta with the horrors preformed by israel and the coverage of the nation in the west. Being called anti-Semitic for calling out using dog rape as a tool to torture prisoners seems a bit bizarre.

I caught the orange man talking on the radio, as I am not american I knew it was going to be something stupid but this? I thought it was a joke, an onion like thing, but nooooo. What sealed it is when in the very speech about the new 100x battleships, trump stated that he did not know why the us stopped using battleships....

Denmark is set to have the highest retirement age in Europe, after lawmakers voted to raise it to 70.

Parliamentarians passed a bill mandating the rise on Thursday, with 81 votes in favor and 21 against.

The new law will apply to people born after December 31, 1970. The current retirement age is 67 on average, but it can go up to 69 for those born on January 1, 1967, or later.

The rise is needed in order to be able to “afford proper welfare for future generations,” employment minister Ane Halsboe-Jørgensen said in a press release Thursday.
