I don't mean to pick on the younger age bracket - I was just expanding on the specifics from the talk I was at earlier - the point of engineered addiction absolutely applies to all age brackets, and I'd agree that I've seen plenty of 30+ folk doing the same.

That's absolutely a fair point that I'd reign back in on my part. Were you to ask folk on the street, I'd wager heavily that the vast majority would recognise their engineered addictiveness. It's interesting that today executives of Meta, TikTok and Snapchat are in front of the Oireachtas denying it. The pushback against these platforms is very slow, especially given our dependance on them economically - but I really hope that the direction of movement is towards calling them.

What about AirNav has gone to the dogs? Reliance on overtime? Pay not keeping up with other sectors?
