I was talking to my kids about this only this week.
Back when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s in the UK, kids were brought up aware of the dangers of things like electricity, large bodies of water, roads etc, but all that has fallen by the wayside. We even had a rally driver visit our school as some sort of education program around how to drive safely.
I guess it just isn’t profitable to educate any more.
This has very much the feeling of ‘they need us more than we need them’
I’m in the UK and some people voted for Brexit saying the same. Look how that turned out for us over the last five years.
Hey Panama, it ain’t right that you’re charging people to use the Panama Canal. Give it to me so I can gouge the fuck out of it, including US shipping companies.
Unless they’re prepared to tickle my saggy balks of course, then they get friends and family discount.
Hey, they know what they’re drinking, it’s all natural and they have an immune system!
I’ve got four kids, youngest 17, and they all seem oblivious to stuff. Maybe it’s because social media has taken over their lives.
I’ve asked them before and not one of them said that they had any kind of awareness stuff apart from some social media type stranger danger things.
