Indeed. It’s like so many people have been trained to be asleep at the wheel.
Many don't have the capacity left to make conscious decisions about these things - either they are already living paycheck to paycheck or it is too abstract for them to realize it might bite them and everyone else on a future date. Even if i have ideas for the first group that I have no power to make reality, I don't have a solution for the second group either.
