I'd probably go on a holiday to somewhere like this.

I would. Take the wife and kids, wade about in that shallow water, all phones off. No news, no stress. That's the way it used to be and it was normal.

I was talking today about how things used to be. Someone's whipper snipper has a microprocessor in it. What? It runs a sensor that won't let the motor start if it finds any old carbon in it. it's over sensitive. He takes off the exhaust, uses a blow torch to burn out the old soot, then puts it back on. Then it starts.

I'm sure this flaw in design is marketed as a feature, solving a problem that only matters if you're glued to the news - that's propaganda. Everyone seemingly has their own example of how mad this world is. So why not get away? Someone else said the road her friend lives on now has 'glamping', people from Sydney spending lots of money to get away, whereas she's saving money and not turning on a television. That's also a type of getting away.

Why not solve the problem? Politicians don't want to: crisis is opportunity. They want crisis. Political parties are toilet trained by the media to do that. Crisis headlines create anxiety, they scream at the politicians to fix it, people are conditioned to be glued to their screens and read the papers, looking at the adds.

Sunrise across a similar spit near where I live.
