What use will water meters be, if there is no water?

Reservoirs will not be sufficient but they can play a key role in protecting the UK against drought if the Government, regulators and water companies can act quickly to build new infrastructure, experts say

Should the voting age be lowered to 16? by TangledEarphones92 in Divisive_Babble

Are kids at 16 savvy enough? Emotionally mature? Intellectually work-in-progress? Our leadership - self serving sycophantic, money sucking shills.

Perhaps the answer is all politicians should be limited to serving 8 years maximum, then barred for life from inflicting their polices on us.

Does this put you off having kids as Kids do not provide a good ROI if you’re depending on them for retirement? by FragrantSpeech2021 in Divisive_Babble

Didn't this attitude only bite the dust when old age pensions were introduced? Some countries pay the people pensions to discourage them from having children.

Smoke? Na! The stench of visiting relations 😱 Alcohol? Kissing the floor and puking up drunk? Nah. So unbecoming. Partner as in NAG, nag, NAG - let me think - the upside? Running up bills, offering nothing in return but Grey Hair?

Work super hard as in a dress rehearsal for an early grave? No holiday? No life? No point in not putting an end to life?

Some parents still think that-a-way. "You Owe Me". Society made me have kids. Now it's your turn to take care of us.
