A generic Welshman — one of those guys you get in an RPG game if you don’t fiddle with the sliders. A music lover (metal and jazz mostly), a cyberpunk enjoyer and I have many opinions on consumer technology. I also take a lot of photos. Talk to me about #jazz, #progressivemetal, #techdeath, #doommetal #physicalmedia, #minidisc, #photography, #Qobuz, #Linux, #MacOS or indeed anything that takes your fancy. Also a remainer/rejoiner

They're not afraid of the end of the world.
They're afraid we'll try to save it.

@syntaxseed @ChrisMayLA6 To add: if you are unable to to drive, then the challenges are even higher. Running a car is expensive, but what if there's no or no sensible public transport to where you need to be, when you need to be?
Investing in public infrastructure creates opportunities and lifts people out of poverty. Cutting it to save money pushes people further into poverty.
