That all sounds more about you than Greta Thunberg. Corbyn and the minimum wage?
Thunberg is delivering a straightforward message with s lot of determination. You may not agree with her (which is fine) but all this "vulnerable kid with mental health issues, groomed by adult handlers for their own nefarious ends" stuff is just a way of avoiding engaging with the issues she's raising.
Fair play to her, she's managed to rile a load of complacent, patronising adults.

I'm not interested in her raising issues. We all know what the issues facing our environment are.
I'd much rather hear her suggest potentially viable solutions. She's a complete novelty act. An 'out of the mouth of babes' routine. Really, though, she's said nothing new.
Has she come up with any plan of action besides "I want you to stop it because you're all being really, really selfish"?

Why should she come up with a solution?
Just because I point out that a building is on fire doesn't mean i'm responsible for putting it out.

There are already loads of other people shouting that the building is on fire.
It's not as if she's the first to raise the alarm.

Yes.
But those who can do something about it are currently saying “No it’s not“ despite all evidence to the contrary.
Her contribution is simply to hold those people’s feet in the flames to get them to acknowledge that denial is not a viable solution.

None of them have got thousands of kids out on the streets or agitated complacent adults in the way that she has.
Are you really criticising a 16 year old because she's not articulating solutions to complex problems that satisfy your demanding standards?
