Problem is that individuals often know what is right, but can't do the right thing because society as a whole is not collaborating. In a few years we will all be blamed for not taking action when it was clear climate change was going to cause big problems for humanity. There are many who are trying, but as a while society doesn't seem to be able to course correct, see the current disaster in Brazil.

Oh, and the current generation will most likely be blamed for destroying most of the job market and opportunity for people to earn a living by pushing AI so much. There's always something to be blamed for.

We're not going to be able to fix the boat with a country as divided as ours. Half of us are hopelessly bailing out water instead of fixing the problems, and the other half are drilling holes in the hull with big grins on their faces.

> We're not going to be able to fix the boat with a country as divided as ours.

You are correct. However, I couldn't see how we could have fixed it before. In the US, every possible group of people was fully mired in a state of

    No One Anywhere Wants To Clean Their Own House.

I couldn't see how anything could improve before, not while that principle dominated everything. And it's still that now, just 10x worse.

> Not a lot to be blamed for if the ship can't be wrighted.

'Not being wrighted' means a whole lot of boomers won't be getting in-home care, or absolutely terrible minimum "care".

But this started with the Mergers and Acquisitions crisis back in the 80's, and vulture capitalism has really taken off in the last 30y.

Oh, and my SO was a in-home healthcare person. They got paid a WHOLE $14/hr, no benefits naturally. You can probably guess the type and quality of most the candidates and workers. Even a few of them did the petty and felony theft from their dementia/Alzheimer's clients. Not like they'd miss what was stolen :(
