Has anyone-else noticed a weird lack of sympathy that’s been present (to varying degrees) in public spaces since the hottest part of the pandemic ended? I feel like someone could slip and sprain their ankle on a wet aisle in Morrisons and only two people would bat an eyelid (and I’m not even talking about central London). Little-over ten years ago more people-than-not would give their last spare pound-coin just for someone short of bus-fare to be able to board but these days people seem more-and-more selfish and unsympathetic. I know naturally-cold personas have always existed (and in itself it’s not even such a bad thing) but basic public courtesy seems to have decreased in the past 10 years. Even in places like Liverpool (where it’s definitely still there but not to the extent that it was).
