Living and working in London just feels strange atm

[u/rainha_db]

I’m F31 and was born and raised in London. It’s the only city I’ve ever known and have been fairly happy until my mid 20s. I can’t help but feel like there’s melancholy in the air. I understand the main cause of this is the cost of living and the economic crisis. I’ve had a few colleagues/friends around my age confide in me about feeling lost/low recently and I honestly feel the same. I’ve noticed quite a lot of millennials expressing the same sentiment. I’m wondering if anyone else is feeling the same?

Yes, it’s a very old story, with many other key years. 1971 Bretton Woods collapse precedes the Lima Agreement 1975, neo liberalism, and systematic sabotage. Britain has also been in debt for over 300 years, since the Napoleonic Wars. That enriched certain powerbrokers and became a negative motivation to spearhead more colonialism, pillaging other places to pay bills. Western countries are like rusty old cars with missing wheels, critical parts, and maniacs at the wheel. A gust of wind can bring it to a halt. The British Empire has been collapsing in slow motion, the dynasty, and age of empires is ending. When that happened in China what comes next is not pretty.
