You mean we're not precariously close to suffering cataclysmic consequences as a result of climate change?
You mean our oceans and waterways aren't being pumped full of garbage and other toxins?
You mean we aren't breathing in toxic gases every single day from vehicles and other sources?
You mean the top 1% of the world's population doesn't hold nearly half the world's wealth?
You mean the US doesn't have a bloated military industrial complex which fights endless wars?
You mean there isn't an opioid crisis reeking havoc on our population?
You mean there aren't still people committing suicide every single day, despite how wonderful everything supposedly is?
You mean there hasn't been a huge surge in recent years of climate change denial, anti-vax, and other anti-science movements?
You mean people aren't tossed aside like garbage as soon as they don't do as society demands of them?
Oh, ok. Good to know.
