I’ve lived in the city most of my life. Had a friend that lived in the country that told me to come out and visit. He was convinced that I needed to buy a gun because how dangerous it supposedly is.
I shit you not, the next morning he was threatening his neighbor with a gun. Turns out there is a ton of crime in the country. Nobody has a job so they constantly steal from each other.
France is one of the only net electricity exporters who don’t use fossil fuels to make that electricity. Unfortunately lack of funding has seriously degraded their nuclear infrastructure and it is now at risk of collapsing, leaving the country and their export partners with severe power shortages.
As always, the issue isn’t with nuclear power as a technology, but with mismanagement.
I’ve lived in a range of population centers, from mid sized towns of about 30k, to cities in the millions, and now in a small town of 5k spread through the entire valley. Its different strokes for different folks. The city was nice with lots of things to keep me occupied, but I could barley afford to do anything because my tiny apt cost 2.5k a month. Cities would be great if the CoL was addressed. Smaller towns on the other hand offer me plent of unspoiled nature to explore and a tighter knit sense of community while allowing me to live comfortably.
Each has its benefits and generalizing one side or the other doesn’t do it justice.
Too many little shits over react to seeing their parents die but in real life and in movies. It’s refreshing to see a more positive attitude about it being depicted tbh.
