it's no wonder people today think they are entitled

Exactly this! There was no other outcome really, I would argue. It is what these big corporates wanted and now that they have it they are slowly realizing we have only finite resources. Not that they care, but we as "ego-centric" consumers are paying the price.

It's such an ironic situation.

It really is, and a sad one! Disconnected from others and the world, but connected into the ego-centric and online created world. What a time to be alive! Brave new world by Aldous Huxley might become in some sense a reality!

I have a feeling things will get worse before they get better

Most things in life are like this! It is a sad reality, but one needs to suffer before it gets better.

blues in the morning

Coffee and blues sound like the perfect combination in the morning! I need to try it sometimes. Normally, it is blues and beer over a fire in my family! Keep well my friend, thanks for the awesome insight!
