"The surge in orbital activity has created a significant collision risk. ... The big fear is that future collisions will cause a domino effect where Earth’s orbit becomes cluttered with tiny, high-speed bits of metal. That could create a near-impenetrable layer of debris that would make space launches so dangerous it would essentially trap humans on Earth."

As Roy Lilley (NHSManagers.net) argues:

'The real growth [in the problems of public health] is in the vast middle ground. Millions of people who are not acutely ill, but not entirely well.

People dealing with anxiety, stress, poor sleep, financial pressure, job insecurity, loneliness.

People functioning, coping, but steadily ground down'.

The increasingly precarious, insecure capitalism our political class has facilitated is taking its toll on our mental health.
