So it's been what, six years? And for pretty much the entire time this has been known to happen from covid.

Now they are doing these headlines, because history must always start yesterday and all things happen only in isolation.

And of course we will not mention covid. Or stress. We will just look at this "mental decline" and decide that it is what it is, everything is shit, there's nothing we can do. So carry on dying for capitalism, but do some self care that ensures you can still be exploited by the capitalist.
