It's almost like a financial crisis, Brexit, endless austerity, privatisation, underinvestment, the rise of Trump, culture wars, dehumanisation of vulnerable people and groups, a pandemic, war, yankification, landlords still existing, normalising genocide, normalising hate, having no plan for the country, climate change, AI, and turning the UK into a fucking retirement home may have negatively impacted future generations a bit.

Who'd have thunk it?
