How tired am I on the international scale of tiredness?Sloath on valium#tired

@emsquared dentist checkup here at 10:40, getting my butt ready for that, a 20 minute drive away, was a struggle. I need to get to sleep earlier if I need such a long kip now.
-
@bobthomson70 Where are these self driving cars? I'd be asleep in them.
-
@emsquared absolutely. Reminds me I need to book a taxi for a week today for a hospital trip - colonoscopy fun. #crohns At least this time it’s paid for by the health service.
-
@bobthomson70 wishing you well. Think you got out of plague island just in time.
-
@emsquared folks here will tell you public services have gotten way worse in recent years but coming from austerity land they seem pretty good still.
-
@bobthomson70 I find it hard to envision any great improvements here (can't remember the shine coming off a new government quite so quickly). Worse from already way better than Austerity plus here.
-
@emsquared it is a tough in tray but they seem to be making a meal of it on top of that. The sad part is the public will go got populism once their patience runs out it seems.
-
@emsquared decided to trade my solar panels for a hydroelectric scheme
-
@John_Loader if only eh
-
@bobthomson70 Unless a miracle occurs I think that is now a given especially if we have another 4 years of relative austerity.
-
@emsquared so depressing
-
@emsquared obviously headed same way here, also because of the left’s inability to get its shit together.
-
@bobthomson70 largely our own fault. One day we might take responsibility for our own ignorance.
-
@bobthomson70 yeah. The failure of a lot of things globally. Democracy and what used to pass for liberal democracy is not delivering. Populism won't either but that's largely about feeling good thru nationalism. I get the collective pain just not keen on the supposed easy answers. Time to let the cats have a go. Can't be worse.

@emsquared money buying influence beyond one person, one vote in politics and poorly regulated capitalism in my book, that’s the rot at the heart of it. Not true democracy nor true capitalism either arguably, hence the corrupted shit version in the west now.
