> Why can’t we be kind and considerate of each other?

inflation and social media.

before we had just inflation. now we have social media that magnifies it.




And the recent heatwave? The last argument with my brother was so over the top it did permanent damage to our relationship. Upon reflection I do wonder how much heat had to do with it.


heatwave is also caused by global warming caused by co2 levels as energy use rises with inflation.

inflation then widens wealth parity gap and social media reminds individuals to take risks they cannot afford and so on....

inflation causes stock prices to rise and factory outputs, exports to rise leading to more energy consumption.

edit: i think i know why your brother is mad at you


Again, non sequitur. If anything, energy use falls with inflation, as people can't afford to use as much.


Do you think earth was some kind of paradise before social media?


No. I would rather think its the lack of proper education on how to behave morally, how to have make valid argument, how our choices impact the life of others, and lack of self control training.


inflation causes rapid drop in education quality


Non sequitur. Inflation and education quality are unrelated.

(Perhaps they are related when inflation gets really bad, but we aren't anywhere near that. And, education wasn't great when inflation was very near zero for a decade, and neither was social kindness.)


inflation means everybody takes home less pay year after year

if income is stagnant money loses value faster due to inflation.


Incomes have held stagnant, on average, for hundreds of years. This time won’t likely any different.
