Comment on Study finds young people more likely to spend Christmas alone

I guess it’s because many young adults move far away from home to get jobs in cities.
In the past young adults probably would have stayed living near their family, so they could see them easily.
I don’t agree with this.
We have been moving away from family for many decades now. However I was able to travel by train in 2000 from Liverpool to Reading, I don’t think I would have done if it was £120, which is the current return price from Lime St. to Reading.
That’s insane.

The cost of living is too high to travel in this neo feudal world of the criminally rich. Back 30+ years ago, the cost of fuel and travel was much lower relative to wages. The poor have gotten much poorer so that a few thousand monsters can have a meaningless competition.

Especially with how cities in the UK are effectively banning driving for anyone but the rich.
