https://freddiedeboer.substack.com/p/we-are-still-living-in-the-long-boring
robertogrecoRay Kurzweil was prescient about many things, and one of them is this: the merger has started. He predicted the outer layers of our neocortex would be wired to the cloud by the 2030s, extending human thought the way the last round of neocortical expansion produced us. But think carefully about what consumer technology alone already does. (And that’s just CONSUMER technology.) We have built ourselves a second nervous system.
“We have built ourselves a second nervous system”! This is the kind of sentence that sounds like revelation and means, on inspection, that you can look things up very quickly on your phone. We have indeed built ourselves a very fast library. That library has caused a lot of unhappiness, but certainly it’s a remarkable technological achievement. That achievement did not, however, eliminate tuberculosis.
And while we’re talking about Kurzweil and nervous systems, we should take time to point out his fundamental misapprehension of that system. Kurzweil has always had one goal, above all others: to avoid death. As a means to achieve this ambitious project, he has repeatedly invoked the desire to “upload” his consciousness to a computer. But this is folly: there is no consciousness that is distinct from the brain that houses it. Consciousness is brain, is tissue, is cells, is wetware. There is no discrete program that is the self that can be extracted from the brain and deposited into a conveniently durable chassis. To imagine a consciousness that can be housed on a floppy disc is to participate in a dualist fantasy of the kind that should have died out hundreds of years ago. Kurzweil has had this pointed out to him many times, but his desire to live forever apparently overwhelms his more rational faculties. The fantasy wins.
Dee dismisses “techno-pessimists” as people trying to stop something that has already happened. (Jasmine Sun goes with “AI populists,” a term I find a little inscrutable.) Perhaps I am a techno-pessimist, but if so, it’s only because I’ve been alive for most of the dispiriting past 50 years. “We were promised flying cars,” goes the cliche. But flying cars are at least possible; it’s just that they’re hideously inefficient and offer no advantage over our current boring-but-effective combination of cars and airplanes. We also were told to dream of time travel and faster-than-light travel, both of which are forever forbidden by elementary physics, and of colonizing distant worlds, which is forever forbidden by more factors than I can list. As Kim Stanley Robinson and others have pointed out, that last bit is essential, because if we recognize that we only have one world to live in, we might become better stewards of it. And that’s why I’m a techno-pessimist in general. Though I’m frequently accused of hoeing this particular row because I like disillusioning other people, I am instead trying to make this reality clear: we cannot sit back and wait for technological progress to save us. The only solutions to our problems - the problems of hunger, of poverty, of injustice, of disillusionment, of alienation - are political solutions. I understand feeling totally defeated by that idea, given what politics is like on this planet. But it’s all we have. We start to build the political structures that can enable humanity to take care of all of us or we drown. There is no fate but what we make.
Whatever you think of my motives, I will not stop pointing out that we are still here, still in this boring muck, still circling the parking lot at Target looking for a space. And until and unless the usual suspects can produce actual evidence of something happening right now, the skeptic’s work is not over. They promise AI will cure all disease; AI has not cured a single disease. Ezra Klein routinely throws around 20% economic growth as a baseline for the AI age; these few years with LLMs have produced the same anemic ~2% growth as we’ve been used to in this, the digital century. And I still say, wake me up when that changes. My techno-pessimism is a pessimism grounded in a fact derived from the historical record: that civilizational-scale technological transformation is extraordinarily rare, that it happened once in a rapidly-receding extraordinary century, and that we have been living in its long shadow ever since. And now some mistake that shadow for the sun."]]>freddiedeboer ai aislop artificialintelligence llms chatgpt openai cluade anthropic 2026 howwewrite generativeai genai slop photography images code coding music technology scarcity abundance videogames applications video film writing imagery 2022 internet web online energy housing cnacer medicine masstransit transportation society civilization siliconvalley socialmedia raykurzweil consciousness singularitarianism singularity jasminesun aipopulists technooptionism technopessimism kimstanleyrobinson humanity ezraklein economy economics growth katherinedee history health healthcare aibubble aihype lifeexpectancy us aviation progress labor work gdp maintenance innovation culture samaltman darioamodei maryharrington industrialrevolution communicationhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:ba413984e58c/The Care Economy is the Everything Economy - with Emma Holten - YouTube2026-04-04T07:44:45+00:00

robertogrecoStay offline by doing things so engaging that it wouldn’t occur to you to drift online in the first place
Yet it’s entirely possible that there isn’t anything badly wrong with you, other than the conviction that there’s something badly wrong with you. And even if there is, it’s not clear that organising your life around the grim struggle to fix it is a particularly effective strategy. It turns every day into a grinding internal struggle between different elements of your psychology. Which can become, ironically, a comfortable way to avoid launching into the life you really want to live – making the career switch that would fulfil you, for example, or daring to commit to a relationship. “Claiming that we are problematic,” the psychotherapist and author Bruce Tift points out, “means we don’t have to engage with our lives fully, because we aren’t ‘ready yet’ – there’s something wrong that needs to be fixed first. [So] we have a good excuse not to show up.”
For one vivid illustration of the futility of fixing yourself – and the positive benefits of doing what you want instead – consider the ubiquitous problem of spending too much time online. If you’re prone to pointlessly doomscrolling, or numbing out with superficially amusing entertainment, you’ve probably experimented with multiple ways to stop yourself succumbing to temptation, like Odysseus ordering his sailors to bind him to the mast of his ship, to resist the call of the sirens. But app blockers and strict personal rules rarely seem to work very well, or for very long. (The most effective such intervention I discovered this year is Brick, a tiny device that blocks distracting phone apps, so that you physically have to move yourself and your smartphone to wherever you’ve put the device, in order to regain access. It turns out that there’s one thing more powerful than the lure of online time-wasting, which is the inertia of not wanting to get up and go upstairs to find your Brick.)
A much more reliable way to stay offline is just to be doing things so engaging that it wouldn’t occur to you to drift online in the first place. On the few magical days in 2025 that I realised I’d forgotten where my phone even was, it was because I’d become so immersed in reading or writing or conversation or nature that the thought of it had left my mind entirely. “If you want to win the war for attention,” as the New York Times columnist David Brooks once put it, “don’t try to say ‘no’ to the trivial distractions you find on the information smorgasbord; try to say ‘yes’ to the subject that arouses a terrifying longing, and let the terrifying longing crowd out everything else.” Or as Katherine Martinko, author of Childhood Unplugged, argues in the context of how parents might encourage their children to spend less time online: “If we want our children to revel in reality, then the most effective way to teach them is to do it ourselves … My advice is to fight [internet dependency] less with fleeting (and unreliable) hacks like time limits, tech‑free zones, digital detoxes, tech fasts, focus mode, and grayscaled screens, and more with an overwhelming love and appreciation for being present, active, and engaged with the real world.”
Make time for art or writing or music, or long-neglected friendships, for community activism, or exhilarating escapes into the wild

It isn’t hard to see how you might extend this principle to other domains of life as well. Instead of focusing on the food groups you plan on banning yourself from consuming this year, are there healthier styles of cooking about which you might genuinely enjoy learning – so that by the time you might normally be reaching for an inadvisable sort of snack, you’re already too full of nutritious food to want one? Instead of concocting a workout you’ll have to force yourself through three times a week – looking forward the whole time to the moment that it’s “out of the way”, so you can resume enjoying life again – are there forms of movement you naturally enjoy, and might only need to do a bit more often, or more intensely?
Be careful, though: this is the point at which it’s tempting to devise all sorts of demanding plans for doing things more enjoyably – walking in the park five times a week! Working on your art project for an hour every day! – which may themselves become oppressive or intimidating, and thus speedily abandoned. You’re trying to spend more time doing things you enjoy – not turning the idea of “doing what you enjoy” into an unwanted extension of your already horrendous to-do list.
If you’re the aforementioned kind of person convinced you don’t have the bandwidth to spend more of the coming year doing what you want, I think it’s time you reconsidered. For one thing, as a finite human being in a world of infinite inputs, you’re always going to have too much to do. So it makes no sense to put off enjoyment or aliveness until such time as you’re no longer facing an unmanageable to-do list; you are, I regret to inform you, likely to end your life with a long to-do list of uncompleted tasks. For another thing, much of what we dislike about the feeling of overwhelm isn’t really a simple quantitative matter of having too many things we feel we need to do; more pertinently, it’s the feeling of being at the mercy of the task list, of having no option but to grind through your days in service to it. As a result, adding a project to your list that you actually want to do can have the unexpected effect of reducing the sense of overwhelm by increasing your experience of agency and what psychologists call self-efficacy. You’re freely choosing to incorporate something extra into your day, because you truly want to do it; accordingly, it becomes harder to think of yourself as nothing more than the indentured servant of your to-do list.
It’s not clear what life is really for at all, if it isn’t for doing more of whatever makes you feel most alive
Nor should you be concerned that doing more of what you want might turn you into an unproductive, socially isolated layabout and irresponsible citizen. Notice the extraordinarily low opinion of yourself suggested by such fears: the implication that you’re such a nightmare, personality-wise, that only the fiercest schemes of self‑improvement, applied with unceasing vigilance, can spare you from disaster. (It’s also a self-contradictory worry, since you’d surely be unlikely to have much interest in the topic of changing your habits in the first place if you were really such a basket case.) Isn’t it at least possible that none of this is true – that if you paid careful attention to the question of what you really enjoy, you might find that it included feeling healthy, being well connected with others, and making whatever difference you could to the world at large? At the very least, it might be worth the experiment.
In the end, though, there is a consideration even more fundamental than any of these, which is that it’s not clear what life is really for at all, if it isn’t for doing more of whatever makes you feel most alive. It’s notoriously easy to slip into the unconscious assumption that any such aliveness is for later: after you’ve sorted your life out; after the current busy phase has passed; after the headlines have stopped being quite so alarming. But the truth for finite humans is that this, right here, is real life. And that if you’re going to do stuff that matters to you – and feel enjoyment or aliveness in doing it – you’re going to have to do it before you’ve got on top of everything, before you’ve solved your procrastination problem or your intimacy issues, before you feel confident that the future of democracy or the climate has been assured. This part of life isn’t just something you have to get through, to get to the bit that really counts. It is the part that really counts.
The celebrated child psychology research known as the “marshmallow experiments” suggests that it’s a great asset to have the kind of self-discipline that enables you to defer the gratification of a single marshmallow in order to receive an additional marshmallow, later on. But life offers no prizes for being so good at deferring gratification that you accumulate a thousand uneaten marshmallows, then drop dead. At some point, you’re going to have to eat a marshmallow. That might mean making time for art or writing or music, or long-neglected friendships, for community activism, or exhilarating escapes into the wild; it might mean a life lived more quietly than your current one, or alternatively one lived in a far more high-profile way. Obviously, nobody else can tell you how to spend more of 2026 doing what you genuinely want. That’s a question that can only be answered through honest introspection, bearing in mind the words attributed to (but probably paraphrased from) the American theologian and civil rights leader Howard Thurman: “Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”"]]>2026 happiness stress self-improvement anxiety oliverburkeman pleasure life living simplicity offline society mentalhealth well-being wellbeing health hobbies doomscrollinghttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:cd1d9e0f9765/Europe is Healthier than US - Chris Arnade Walks the World2026-01-10T20:33:07+00:00
https://walkingtheworld.substack.com/p/europe-is-healthier-than-us
robertogrecoI’ve engaged in this debate before, but anyone who doesn’t see that Europe is so much culturally richer, and healthier, than the US is missing that culture is fundamentally about communities, and the social.
When most people talk about Europe’s culture legacy, and superiority, they point to cathedrals, museums, and such.
But it’s not about the physical (although it makes the stage more dramatic), it’s about the work/life balance. About third spaces that encourage being around people, in a way that’s deeper than a brutal transactionalism.
US is about the individual, to a hyper degree. Everyone is so focused on being emancipated from everything, freed from any “outdated” obligations, that they end up in an empty loneliness.
It’s depressing to come back, after traveling. To see so many communities of one, all trying to figure out why their life feels so empty.
Yes. There is still the social and communal in the US. That’s human nature to build it. But we make it harder to do. Our culture just isn’t conducive to communities.
My first amendment is to recognize that saying Europe versus the US is far too simplified since each contains multitudes. Especially Europe, where Germany is different from France, and within France, Paris different from Valence, and within Paris, Le Marais different from Aubervilliers.
For what I’m discussing though, the most important European difference is between Paris and Valence. Or in Germany, between Frankfurt and Bochum, and in Belgium, between Brussels and Mechelen.
The most common way Americans see Europe is through its biggest cities, and yet that’s the least representative way to understand it. Especially the neighborhoods in those big cities they spend time in.
Big city Europe is in the process of being conformed, changed, and ultimately smoothed into a generic boring singular entity. A soulless Americanization that’s accelerated dramatically over the last few decades. It’s a process driven by globalization, tourism, and secular capitalism.2 What has resulted is a McEurope — a chain of big cities where chunks of each are the same. The branding of the franchises might be a tad different, the scenery a little altered, but these chunks serve up the same bland and drab experience.
The downtowns of cobble stone streets lined with the same stores selling runners, sex toys, raw paninis under glow lamps, absurdly caloric sweets, and whatever else tourists splurge on to feel special.
There is the one dirty plaza of check the box cafes which feels like EPCOT center cosplaying, with signs in English, and almost no regulars, beyond that one stubborn and ancient local, who through the force of time, has crafted their singular island of special.
There isn’t much dignity left in these “historic downtowns” most of it lost by the rush to monetize the mobs. The Hen and Stag parties flown in on Ryan Air. The pub crawls. The line of well scrubbed Americans and Asians scurrying behind a hatted scold yelling into a megaphone and holding a tiny red flag.
Some of the historic buildings, especially the Cathedrals, still have a dignity and heft, cultural buttes in a desert eroded by pagan winds, which can only last so much longer, since many have given over to being museums more than houses of worship. A check mark on tourist lists to justify a day of binge drinking. Attending mass in these churches means pushing your way through these packs of heathens who, if they stick around, watch the service with the bemused glee of a 19th-century anthropologist in Papua New Guinea. It wasn’t good then, and it’s not any better now.3
What McEurope is lacking the most, or what is hardest to see, is the communal-ism that’s central to European culture.
Thankfully though, McEurope is confined to a few neighborhoods, although they are by far the most visited ones. It’s very easy to get away from them, and once away, you will find that a healthy European culture is almost everywhere else, especially the smaller towns. In spades. That’s why my single suggestion for visiting Europe is to get out of the most visited big cities, which contain the largest number of most visited neighborhoods, and go to some random mid-sized town. Some place like Valence in France4, that also, like Paris, has a long history, an ancient and sublime Cathedral, yet hasn’t entirely succumbed to the global forces trying to flatten the world.
There you see the care Europeans still give to living. The care given to being a valued member of something larger than themselves. To being part of a group. To eating well, to relaxing well, to working with a purpose beyond making mint.
The flattening forces sloshing around the world are mostly viewed in economic terms. It’s mostly talked about as big global brands and franchises sweeping across the globe, knocking everything down around it.
There’s a truth to that, although they are symptom of a larger illness, which is ideological and also very American5.
It’s the idea of individual liberation. The idea that everyone needs to be emancipated from everything. Everyone needs to find and fly their freak flag. They need to find their true self and be it. Even if that means severing ties with family, friends, church, Nation, anything and everything that came before. Those are provincial, backwards, and holding you back.
That is the purpose of life. To be free. Yet it’s a perverse goal, a broken Telos, that can only be seen as positive if you have a abnormal sense of what it means to be human. To be human is to be social. The ancient Greeks knew it, the Medievalist knew it, and even the early Liberals knew it, but it’s us moderns who’ve somehow forgotten it.
Once you understand that, then you further understand that the American definition of freedom ends in a state of despair, and nobody should seek that. Much less entire cultures.
True freedom isn’t being so emancipated that you are isolated, it’s the opposite — being part of a group and knowing where you fit in and are valued. Be that a church, a cafe, a family, a club, or a Nation.
In that sense, Europe, outside of the overly visited but insignificant McEurope parts, is freer, and healthier than the US. Most of the rest of the world is.
The second amendment I’d make to my Note is a better explanation of the last paragraph,
Yes. There is still the social and communal in the US. That’s human nature to build it. But we make it harder to do. Our culture just isn’t conducive to communities.
Before I stared walking around the world I spent over a decade focusing on poverty, addiction, and despair in the US. My book Dignity was a result of that work.
During those years I got called the “McDonald’s guy” because I highlighted how much community exisited in them.
The salient point wasn’t that there’s something unique about McDonald’s, or America, but that humans are social animals. We need community so much that we will even build it in environments not intended for it.
Or to put it another way, if you provide humans with a landscape of banal franchises, they will form communities, and construct meaningful relationships, in them.
Think again about McDonald’s. The designed purpose was as a ruthlessly efficient way to get food, whittled down to its most transactional basic. You go in, you get calories, you leave, in as short a time as possible.
Yet, McDonald’s has evolved into community centers, where people even meet to pray, because people require and need that. To their credit, the corporation has recognized this, and changed how they approach their customers, although the higher driving goal is still efficiency.
Fast food franchises are not unique. I’ve seen that need for community in every space I’ve been. From trap houses in the Bronx, to homeless camps under bridges, to donut stores in LA. People form social groups wherever there’s more than one person. It’s one of the quarks of human existence. A cardinal building block6.
Yet in the US, and in McEurope, we view it as something to move beyond. Especially the intellectual class, who have an outsized role in policy and business decisions.7
That doesn’t mean the public doesn’t stop being social, rather it means they have to go out of their way to build connections.
America might have a broken culture, one ideologically committed to individual freedom, but we are still social, but not necessarily in the healthiest ways. Without functional communities to be members of, many, out of desperation, end up gravitating to dysfunctional ones.
Without church, they go to the drug traps; without cafes, bars; without families, politics; without sports clubs, gangs; without friends, angry online forums.
Some, a sadly growing minority, fail completely to find anything to be part of and end up in a state of complete antisocial perversion. A state of depression, confusion, emptiness, and then violence, against others and themselves.
A state that for too many ends in suicide, either quickly, or slowly one needle at a time.
That is a freedom turned into a tyranny of emptiness.

[Footnotes]
1 - Given that headline clashes with this essay (so far) I ask that you read it. It’s both a tongue in cheek headline, but also a different way of looking at how people see the two places.
2 - I know that reeks of buzzword thinness, but it’s true, although in less cartoonish of a way than usually thought about. It’s about an ideological mindset that sees materialism, and individual liberty, as key to human flourishing. I don’t believe that, as I hope to explain further below in the essay.
3 - I’ll never forget excitedly heading to the Cologne Cathedral, only to find a party of 20 or so British women on a Hen party weekend twerking in front of it for a Instagram post
4 - I could suggest many many others. I chose Valence only because it was where I ended my last trip. Avignon for instance, despite having one small McEurope neighborhood, is still a great place.
5 - Most of the things a lot of American tourists, especially on the left, like about Europe — health care, good public transport, walkable cities, less focus on cars, etc — are downstream of the European communal-ism. They are a result of the US focus on rugged individualism.
6 - That is also true in what I call McEurope. There is still community there, in those “soulless” downtowns, it’s just harder to find, and harder to form.
7 - I’m not suggesting the public, or normies, are also not responsible for a lot of our problems. This isn’t an elite only problem. Individualism isn’t only a belief of the intellectuals, although that’s where it originated, and that’s who is most responsible for the propagation of it. But ideas, unlike Economics, do trickle down, and at this point, a rugged, destructive, individualism is central to what the US is.
At it’s best, when tempered with organic community, it’s the American Dream. At worst, it’s constant fighting, constant blame, constant depression."]]>chrisarnade 2024 us europe comparison worklifebalance life living health loneliness france isolation social happiness community cafeculture cafes communalism individualism work food culture superiority wealth transactionalism thirdspaces thirdplaces paris valence germany frankfurt bochum belgium brussels mechelen aubervilliers lemarais dignity mceurope liberation liberalism liberals purpose existence depression confusion emptiness violence freedom tyrannyhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:b3090faaf5a5/Economic Inequality: - Peter Joseph: Substack2026-01-02T22:54:31+00:00

robertogrecoPondering the shrinking communities and advanced decay he saw during the trip (documented in photos of shuttered main streets and nature vigorously reclaiming the landscape), Mod thought back to his childhood home: a blue-collar American town where the factories had closed, replaced by poverty, drugs and violence.
“The inspiration I’ve always drawn from Japan is that the lowest you can fall is not that low,” he says. “Whereas I grew up watching people fall really, really low — frequently, and kind of hopelessly.”
His explanation for why similar levels of economic decline produce such different outcomes hinges on the Japanese term yoyū, which conveys a sense of sufficiency: enough time, enough money, enough energy. As Mod puts it, yoyū is “the space in your heart to accept another person… another situation, another context.”
“As the economy changes in those rural areas, I think you see a kind of grace because the foundations of support are still there, right?” he continues. “They’re not losing health care. They’re not losing social infrastructure… And that gives them the yoyū to be able to accept the fact that their towns are disappearing, without degrading into substance abuse or violence or whatever. The contrast being in America, there’s none of that sort of protection enabled, so you have none of that excess space.”
As an American, it’s tough sometimes even to conceive of having that excess space (except what you’ve been able to cobble together on your own, a jury-rigged safety net one medical crisis away from collapse). I always notice its presence when I’m traveling — like, oh, this society takes care of its people. Huh."]]>socialsafetynet jasonkottke kottke 2025 craigmod japan rural yoyū enough small peace sufficiency us comparison society healthcare health abandonment infrastructure socialinfrastucture support interconnectedness interdependence poverty precarity interconnectedhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:4c914f0e9142/are you high-agency or an NPC? - by Jasmine Sun2025-09-25T23:54:27+00:00

https://robinrendle.com/notes/notes-on-poverty/
robertogrecoPoverty isn't simply the condition of not having enough money. It's the condition of not having enough choice and being taken advantage of because of that.
(I remember being caught in a web of overdraft fees when I struggled with money. There’s still this lingering feeling fifteen years later where I doubt every time a check will clear, a credit card will go through. I still assume that banks have caught me in some great trap beyond my comprehension. There’s a spider lurking behind me, ready and waiting to devour every paycheck that clears my account. This is not a healthy way to run a society, or a healthy way to live. But tens of millions of Americans do.)
***
When we are preoccupied by poverty, “we have less mind to give to the rest of life.” Poverty does not just deprive people of security and comfort; it siphons off their brainpower, too.
(I remember being shocked by how similar poverty felt like a sickness, as if I had blinkers on, as if a strong vignette had been applied to my vision. Money was all I could think about. I would count the pounds and pennies, counting and counting and counting at night. I couldn’t think straight, I couldn’t think about a 401k or future investments because I was so paralyzed by Today, this big and brutal and terrifying thing. What if someone after work asked me out for a beer? What if we walk passed a shop and my credit card fails when trying to buy water? What if someone finds out how much is in my account?)
(And yet! I was one of the lucky ones to have family to bail me out, as embarrassing as it was to ask them over and over again. Most folks however don’t have people to help them. This is what the government should be. And, currently, what it is not.)
(But we can fix this.)
***
A higher minimum wage is an antidepressant. It is a sleep aid. A stress reliever. Vocal segments of the American public, those with brain space to spare, seem to believe the poor should change their behavior to escape poverty. Get a better job. Stop having children. Make smarter financial decisions. In truth, it’s the other way around: Economic security leads to better choices.
(I remember my first real paycheck. The one where I didn’t have to struggle. The one where I was lifted out of worrying so much. I could suddenly go out and buy food and start going out for dinner or the pub intermittently without feeling anxious the whole time about embarrassing myself by my card failing. I could make rent. But it wasn’t all these material things that money gifted me: it was sleep. With the sudden turn of a week I could now make predictions about my future. Mere days before my life was broken up into excruciatingly long weeks. Paycheck, no-paycheck, no-paycheck, no-paycheck. This is not a healthy way to run a society, etc. etc.)
***
Somehow, the United States has the unique distinction of lacking universal healthcare while still having the most expensive healthcare system in the world.
(One time back in the UK I had 40 quid in my bank account but found myself with a serious and embarrassing medical emergency. At midnight I went to the hospital and I suddenly found myself begging a doctor for help in a corridor outside his office. He told me the STD clinic opens in the morning, come back then. In agony I laughed and said “I might not be a doctor my dude but I can GUARANTEE that isn’t the problem here.” A few days later, the embarrassing surgery is over, they tell me to go, and I simply walk out of the hospital. There’s no pay station, no worry about handing out cash or finding myself slammed with debt because the UK has a modern, humane health care system. When I moved to the states I learned that how much money I make doesn’t really matter. One foul move, an uncontrollable accident like the one I had back in the UK, and that’s all it takes to lose your financial footing. And, because of this, poverty haunts everyone in America.)
(But we can fix this.)
(I think this is why I loved this book. It’s angry but not cynical. Desmond argues over and over again that we have fixed the balance of power in this country before and we can do it again. Poverty is not a hex, a curse,a chronic condition or necessary evil. It can be fixed!)
(We just have to make it so.)"]]>robinrendle poverty us matthewdesmond psychology 2025 2024 nhs inequality health healthcare mentalhealth banking cognition cognitiveload minimumwage incomehttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:5bb2c6c56698/How Are You Supposed To Get The COVID Vaccine Now?
