It's up to you. You could add context to those concerns, you could tweak the phrasing, you could undertake a heroic quest to reclaim the phrase if you want.

I'm just adding some context as to why some people react to the phrase.

Using the phrase 'valid concerns about immigration' today is a little bit like waving a St. George's cross in the 80's though. I mean, it can be done with the purest of intentions, but you're using a symbol that people (taking you at your read) you'd rather not be associated with use to identify each other.

The sat 24 IR view doesn't seem to match up very well with what you've posted, so it may just be noise, or a corrupted data load.

Does nobody else find the framing of this article a little weird? I thought the argument for boosting the economy, was because it correlated well with people's well being. (Not that I personally but that, but I understand the line of thought). Now instead we're suggesting that human outcomes are important because it boosts an arbitrary measure? I feel like the cart is now dragging the horse along the ground.

I have it on android! It's been a trusty travel game for me. I do find the upgrade pathways a little narrow though. Maybe I haven't quite got the knack for it yet, but I find that I don't have enough agency over if a run is successful. That is to say, I lose and too often can't point to something I could have done differently.

I've spent an outrageous percentage of this year playing the poker solitaire/deck builder/roguelike that is Balatro.

I didn't like roguelikes until dicey dungeons came along, and since then my favourite games have been that, slay the spire, Hades (haven't played 2 yet) and now this.

If you like deck builders, I highly recommend it. A very smart twist on the solitaire genre.

I registered when I saw this, just so I could share this really good analysis. It explains why expanding traffic through the tunnel (whether by Eurostar or competition) isn't as simple as we might both assume and hope.
