@stephen Great read! Sadly, feels like a lot of things we’d taken for granted as forming part of a forward thinking society upon which to build & improve has been superseded by ‘the market will decide’ (which was always super problematic but was hidden under a veneer of ‘not something I’m affected by’ until recently)
