It's self-centered to want to communicate well?

It's just basic communications skills, and honestly decency, to describe what a thing is and who it's for.

Maybe someone who isn't the target audience still wants to learn about the thing? Which this site provides no way of doing. That's the problem. Why choose to be inaccessible like that, when it's so easy to add a couple of works and links?

> or poke around out of curiosity

You mean like by following links that are supplied? Because that's my complaint: there are no links.

What is the main country where dying pubs is such a big subject?

For f**ks sake I am not from UK yet it is easy to understand what it is all about from context and language. And I wasn't even aware of that tax change.

Pure US arrogance.

It's not for you.

It's self-centered to want others to communicate well to you when they aren't attempting to communicate with you in the first place.

You want to learn about the thing? You have the entire internet at your fingertips. Click search bar, type "pub rates," boom, thousands of news stories.

If you want to know what's going on, put in the bare minimum effort to find out. If you don't care then ignore it and move on.
