I hope we get some changes to everything because its a bit weird how everything works right now in terms of benefits mainly towards those with children and trying to balance work and child care. Then the other major issue is trying to fix the broken NHS which is just straight up broken from top to bottom due to vast money needed and sheer number of people in the country now using it. | ||

Something (mostly history) tells me they are going to go the other way and restrict who is eligible, likely around the continued othering of marginalized people. | ||

I hear a lot about that kinda hope and very little about it's value, practical or otherwise. That kinda hope is fine for the outcome of a TV series or football game, but I don't think that kind of hope has much value in situations like this. Revolutionary optimism, sure. "Hope for the best" hope is mostly an empty platitude to me. | ||
