Is it possible for us to care in the US? To foster the will to have nice things? I think we actually had this in the aftermath of WW2. The country was mostly on the same page about progress, values, the future. But over a few generations, more and more people defect.
I do!
Inequalities made people care less and less. Right after WW2 is full of opportunities and great, positive changes in the US. It slows down in the 60s and as we know, wages and productivity stopped being connected in the 70s and everything fell massively apart after that.
Let’s set up Universal Income so that people stop the tunnel vision about survival and start caring about their environment again.
And fuck those LED lights.
