Regional accents are dying out.

Kinda makes sense, though. You can fly from the west coast of the US to South Africa in under 24 hours. Areas that used to take weeks, months, and even years to get to are now under 24 hours and largely less than $5,000 to travel to.

We are gonna get some wild pandemics since anyone can criss-cross the globe so fast.

We need to reinforce regional accents and provide more indigenous languages courses.
