Maybe they are great together but I agree that he seemed to be laughing at her distress. I know my wife would not appreciate that kind of tone from me while she's talking about her struggles with something
Every now and then I read something casually and it takes a few minutes for my brain to acknowledge the gravity of its meaning.
Like this sentence: "According to UN-endorsed projections, global demand for fresh water will exceed supply by 40% in 2030."
Global demand for fresh water will exceed supply by 40% in 2030! How is that not headline news driving a massive global effort to prevent the ensuing tragedy!?
This is not so bad because we already have technologies like desalination and purification that can meet this need, they are just not sustainable yet because the demand isn't there. This is something we can handle much more easily than climate change, or depleting our fisheries because it can be done locally with much less cross-border cooperation.
This makes a lot of sense now that it's common for women to work in demanding professional settings. There's really only room for one demanding profession in a family when you're raising kids.
