So many comments sound apocalyptic when they face inconveniences like inflation. See this recent post by a Polish guy:<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49905487">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49905487Meanwhile, the Tigray war in Ethiopia may have killed as many as 600k, yet it barely registered in our public conversation. The same goes for Sudan.Attention is a weird beast.
"Attention is a weird beast."Not nice, but somewhat rational? Inflation where you live affects you directly. A massacre somewhere far away usually not so much.(But yes, all is connected, people fleeing the wars, then bringing their traumatas with them, etc)
