Sounds exhausting! Do you have far to fly?

Getting back into the routine of things. Eldest is back in school and the youngest started reception. Both did incredibly well and fortunately there were no dramas!

I dusted out the PS4 for the first time in a long time and had to reset it as it wouldn't connect to the PSN. Been enjoying playing Sack Boy with the kids, but I'm hoping to play some GTA V and Just Cause 3 if I ever get some time where I have the energy!

I think this makes sense honestly.

This design is an abomination really, there'd be so many accidents around the merging, where the traffic streams effectively have to swap over.

Because, you know, cars and car infrastructure don't already take up massive amounts of space as is.

The only defence of this is that it would take LESS space than some kind of cloverleaf system. I think this whole design is trying to be space efficient whilst attemptign to keep traffic flowing (which it wouldn't do).

I can't believe they're actually building this.

Something like 40% of our electricty in the UK is from renewables - on some days it's 100%! There are days where we're having to pay wind farms to NOT generate electricity as we already have an oversupply. I honestly don't see energy supply as a bottleneck for EV uptake.

Yeah in my mind, a middle earner is someone in the 50k to 100k like you said.

I guess it's been on a slippery slope for a long time.

I'm not coming from a defence of capitalism. I'm just pointing out that people have had to work in some capacity to live all throughout history. People would still need to work to live under any system.

Are there any other systems, or point in history, where a country's population could live without working?

Redefining the term of a skeleton crew.

What's a middle earner?

Edit: What salary range classifies someone as a middle earner.
