Re: Perfect storm of anxiety

“Wild weather, new Covid waves and cost-of-living pressures are expected to cause a surge of back-to-school anxiety for Queensland students…,” (Perfect storm of anxiety, 20/01).
As a kid in FNQ in the 1960s and ‘70s, I experienced lots of wild weather and flooding - it was exciting, not a cause for anxiety - because back then the government-media industrial complex wasn’t running a “climate change” terror campaign.
I saw plenty of flu seasons, too, but there was no industrial-scale fear campaign, now called “new Covid waves”, so there was no anxiety about those either.
As a young adult in the ‘80s I experienced cost-of-living pressures due to 17% interest rates but none of the kids I knew were anxious about it because there was no taxpayer-funded fear campaign.
The solution to childhood anxiety just might involve the government-media terror-campaign industrial complex ceasing its manufactured hysteria about ordinary events.
