What's the point? (2)

Disregard the Exif data. This shot was done with Fuji X-Pro3 plus Helios 44M-7 at F2 plus a 720nm infrared filter. The light source is a 550-2500nm infrared lamp. "What's the point?" is a phrase I have been hearing in my village - usually used by young men. When digging a bit deeper I am hearing more: that their income is minimal with no real chance of betterment, that they are excluded from the "opportunities" and "prospects" promised by the politicians, that having a family would be economically risky for them, that they would never be able to own their home. And, turning to me "oldie" with a pension, that people like me are consuming a major share of the nation's wealth. And what did I say? You are right, young man. When it comes to social equality or, other way round, to social exclusion, this country, the UK, is in a deep mess.
