We keep being told that “not as nice as you’d like it” is “broken / catastrophe”. He’s right, it isn’t. But “could be better” doesn’t sell clicks, it doesn’t garner votes, it doesn’t make a sound bite.
I actually agree with him. Brexit will never be overturned until the last man understands how fucking stupid it was or dies

I’ve a subscription and he’s right. It’s bad but not intolerable in the UK and Germany. Hence we limp on dissatisfied but not enough to make the changes necessary.
It could get better straight off if energy water price increases came out of shareholder dividends and maybe tax the richest earners
We’ve got a long way to go yet. Most of Reddit just says “more taxes on ‘the rich’”, and supposedly everything will be fine. The tide is turning though. Sooner or later working age people will realise the social contract is fundamentally broken.
The trouble is people see the issues as a reason to vote in a worse party that lies a lot to them) (this could be many (well 2 with a chance) these days). If they do that they deserve what comes.
The trouble is poeple are stupid and the politicians want to aplify that. You KNow so they can keep getting in like the stupid US way.
