      Yea, strange how a government actually investing money in infrastructure and public services improves the lives of people overall.

          I wasn’t the person but presumably they thought your point of view was reductionist given that the 90s were a time of widespread global prosperity. Like there was a specific context behind all of the investment.

          The government investing in public services was definitely one of the key factors in life being better back then.

      I don’t think it’s that straightforward though. Not saying your point is irrelevant, I can definitely see your point. But I feel like most of the Western world where the British government has no reach would have this same opinion.

        American here; I think that’s because most of the rest of us have been fucked over by right-wing governments lately, too.
