“The former Royal Bank of Scotland submitter who was offered sushi rolls in exchange for helping try to rig the Libor rate-setting process has been banned by the UK’s financial regulator.” https://www.ft.com/content/23868e36-0095-11e6-ac98-3c15a1aa2e62

Wow, I can’t believe that you are getting some flack for this. Numerous times I’ve read a Wikipedia article, followed the citation, only to discover that the Wikipedia contributor had cherry-picked from a paper, giving a misleading summary.

And hiding the date the video is from, Youtube is getting worse.

Ban all lead bullets. Ban all semi-auto. Ban all pistols, revolvers, handguns. Nothing but black powder, or bolt action rifle.

If this was based on scientific research, you bet that the creators would be pushing the academics that formed the policy to endorse this. This is just junk pseudo-science. Serious researchers would do small sample testing before rolling out a wide program, especially for something like this

Any large scale plan, involving teachers, and students needs to be boiled down to extremely simple concepts that can be taught in a few words. Most kids have a hard time with subtraction and division. This will become simplified and resented.

Also, when people are trying to make a point, inadvertently they’ll stand differently and have different posture ever so subtly.

It’s a shitty article, that uses shitty polling data.
What it means to be lib vs. con in different time periods and different countries is a complex question. I guarantee you that in absolute terms, white boys from the Midwest are much less racist than they were 40 years ago.

It misses the biggest swing from lib to conservative that happened, that older white women, without a college education, flipped to conservative, from consistently voting Democrat.

The article implicitly is trying to cast blame on young white boys, turning conservative, and therefore pushing the country into being regressive. It misses that the biggest regressive block are still the elderly white folk, and that that block is also the biggest voting block.

It’s not even libertarianism at this point. I don’t have a name for it; part stupidity, part bravado, no compassion, no responsibility.

‘nothing you do matters, you can’t even hurt anyone else, so you’re actions really aren’t important’', is more of the nihilistic message.

The article is referring to South Korea, the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom, 4 countries. I’d argue that the youth vote never really mattered to turn these elections. You have to examine who actually voted, turned out to the ballot box.

The author is discussing several countries, including the U.S.A., saying that it is the same trend for each. So yest they are implying the US.

young women backed the liberal Democratic party in almost equal and opposite numbers

This is only partially true. The key swing vote in the election, that handed Trump the win were; 40+year old white women without a college education. Until this election, that group was almost entirely in the Democrat camp, but went full MAGA.
The youth vote only has a small turnout, with voting patterns locked into geographic regions, there wasn’t too much unexpected that happened with the youth vote.
Be skeptical of recent survey data, reflection on this past election, or any survey data for that matter, especially in a Medium article.

Not really a coherent philosophical narrative for them to latch onto; ‘the world is fucked, they’re fucked’ is the main message they hear.

You’re right, people do have rose colored glasses, when it comes to the past.

I’ve added the ‘anymore’ statement because I think that we’ve fallen below a ‘critical mass’.

Bowling isn’t a good example because it isn’t popular anymore, but I’ll use it as an example anyway. If there aren’t a core group of people that can consistently pay to play, the bowling alley goes bankrupt. That hurts the people that, because of a financial constraints, may have gone only occasionally. Even if there are a handful of ultra-wealthy people in a community that can go whenever then want, there are too few of them to really sustain a bowling alley, as they won’t be going everyday.

Everybody, and every corporations jumped on the landlord bandwagon, rents went crazy. Now there is nowhere to go, most small cool places, with live music, or a kitschy theme, have either closed or have become too expensive.

This is bad. At least in the 1990s when the economy was hard, someone could afford to rent out a small place and make a fun bar.

Everything is too expensive. People simply can’t afford to do things anymore.

What Canada really needs is a massive drone program. Drones from the size of a 747 to the size of a dime, and everything inbetween. The entire Russia-Ukraine war is a drone war.
