Yeah absolutely. And I believe we have some really stupid laws that help that effect along. Consumers are also to blame as well, but they always are.

The "kids these days" part doesn't do much for me but the central point of "everything is amazing and nobody is happy" absolutely does.
It resonates with me because I find more wonder in the everyday stuff we take for granted than I ever did getting getting dragged into church as a kid. My first flight was 35 years ago and I still sit by the window and look at the world from that "chair in the sky" perspective the whole time.
And just to be clear, yes of course the world is full of bad shit. Our amazing technology helps is be hyper aware of that.
Most new trucks are basically just luxury SUVs for men who stomp their feet and say they want the boyyyy car, not the mom one.
Note to any offended truck owners: I said most! Some of my best friends are truck owners! :>
Actually true! And the best part is that my truck-owning friends are petite women. But they both do actual farm work in addition to their day jobs, so their trucks are beat up and dirty workhorses.
They insist on lending me a truck any time I need to do a big lumber run to home depot. You know that old saying about instead of owning X you want multiple generous friends who own X, lol.
In addition, I have been busy this summer and I have literally spent a couple grand on lumber for what is hopefully a once in a lifetime project. Believe it or not, I'm still driving an old Mazda3 and didn't have to buy a truck! (Granted, my initial purchase was so big that I would have paid the delivery fee even if I daily drove a Canyonero with a trailer)
Batteries make the current cheap renewables more practical. The cheap green energy is there but it doesn't run on our schedule.
I would suggest that nuclear both rules and sucks, lol. It could be a far safer and cleaner alternative to fossil fuels that we are still burning every second by the ton, including all the toxic and radioactive shit coal brings us.
Exciting news, Zoopla is now BONTO!
"WELCOME TO CLOCKO COM
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE"
I don't know the details of the military demonstrations, but singing in a choir as a kid in front of hundreds of parents is exactly the kind of scary thing with no actual danger that can really help kids grow and conquer fears.
Everything else? Right now I think advances in battery tech are what would help the most.
And maybe you could label Uranium and Thorium as "fossil" fuels if you want to be picky about it, but I think nuclear fission is the "bridge fuel" that we needed when we were sold natural gas instead.
oh jeez, lol. Edited to fix for any future readers.
You have my vote but only if you promise extra special treatment for the people who stand shoulder to shoulder right up against the baggage claim conveyor at the airport. And the ones who rush into full elevators trying to unload.
The amount of overlap in those two groups will probably save your Patience Police a bunch of time and resources.
My Celeron was overclocked and all, but sometimes that stuff just took too long and I tested the changes in fullbright!
The last time I made an IEWMD for a gender reveal it ruined the whole evening.
