The term "working class" means someone whose income is based entirely on selling their labour. It's nothing to do with job security or social security and never has been. The term is not outdated, it is as relevant as ever.

A high carbohydrate and so high insulin-producing plant-based diet certainly isn't healthy for me.

What about a low carbohydrate plant-based diet?

formerly working class

Just curious why you refer to the poor people you're talking about as "formerly" working class?

because the reason varies from migrant to migrant

I don't see why varying reasons for getting in boats justifies not reporting on those reasons.

Usually there will be a line or two in the report about ... possibly why

I've never seen such a line. Can you provide a reference to one?

someone who isn't in a position to be interviewed

What do you mean by this?

I'm talking about news media, to be clear. I presumed "report" would make that clear. I've edited the post title to add the word "news".

My question is about the media.

Damned sneaky Ukrainian military installations in journalists' homes.

Or raise awareness to the criminal exploitation migrants suffer to just get a position on the boats

No, I've seen plenty of reporting on that. Never on the reasons they're trying to get a position in the first place though.

Media gets paid billions to talk shit about migrants.

Eh? By whom?

destroy the planet

We're not destroying the planet, we're destroying our offspring (and those of many other species). The planet will still be covered in life after we're gone.

Orchards are very different from woodland. Trees need to be evenly planted and have much more space than woods. Probably better than nothing but it's not the kind of CO2-sink woodland the CCC is talking about.

Curious why Xorg doesn't work for you?
