Hasn’t worked based on the evidence, so we’re moving on to something effective. Australia is up first, others will follow, just as we limit access to nicotine and other drugs or harmful products. The data is robust social media is toxic to kids, and Meta even knew about it and doesn’t care.
Social media bans are like GLP-1s: we know that will power is not a thing, so we use an intervention to help the human. Same deal. “Just do better good luck” is not actionable.
Title wasn't editorialized in keeping with forum guidelines, but I found the topic interesting (TIL wood banks), so I leave it to mods to update the title to something they find more appropriate (if necessary). "There are wood banks? Interesting! How do they work? Why do we need them?" and so on.
Totally, and that's fair; I hope the discussion can be more about the topic and not the quality of the article itself. Lots of other links in this thread on the topic (rural wood banks) that are relevant, and I think it's an interesting story about community, rural self reliance, governance system failures, etc. "Think in systems."
It's easy to say "this article is trash and move on." Lets do the hard way and talk about the topic instead of the piece specifically. Please try to be curious.
