You know how systems are kind of like that old phone everyone has - it works just well enough that you keep putting off replacing it? 😄
It's crazy watching people's reactions these days. You've got the analysts doing their deep dives into economic trends and systemic issues, while others are just annoyed their grocery bills keep climbing because whatever. Everyone knows something's up, they're just processing it differently. The funny thing is that the actual solutions often aren't rocket science.
It's like when you see a really convoluted process at work that could be simplified with one or two tweaks, but somehow nobody does anything about it!!!! I have very strong problem solving skills and that annoys me so much!
Even in relatively stable countries, you look around and think "Wait, couldn't we just...?" And then you forget about it and do your things.
Most know something is wrong, but don't have the skills or sight to put it all together. And then, most feel that nothing can be done, and nothing will ever change, so nothing does.
Like most things, rock bottom needs to be felt before people choose to change. Of course, real rock bottom change isn't a choice at all, is it?
I hae very little faith well ever learn. Or unlearn, as the case may be.
