Easy to compile that list. These may not apply to you today, but it's only a matter of time.

A) A Job. In the past 50 years government policy has led to jobs being exported.

B) A job paying a decent wage. The jobs that replaced the above are generally low paid.

C) Healthcare. No need to discuss that, Americans are ass raped for it.

D) Housing. Home ownership is getting expensive in some countries. The future looks bleak.

E) Crime. Low pay and levels of unemployment leads to an increase in crime.

F) Safety. Government policy over the last 50 years has made us all less safe.

Don't tell me you're all right. Look at all the graphs and calculate when it hits you. As for the "I will fight my way out of it" approach. So will 100,000 other people in your area.

There's one section who "Have never had it so good." That's not any of us.

And meanwhile people are worried about legalising pot. Give me a break, you are the problem.
