1. Just an awful lot of people who can't cope or handle any stress or problems in their lives. It's like we opened up a gate and 10-percent of society is 'breed' to behave like 6-year old kids....even when they are thirty to forty years old.
2. As much as we used to be a hefty-drinking society (to the extreme)....we now seem to be a more sedated or medicated society....to the extreme.
3. We are forever discussing 'who failed who', in that schools failed kids, parents failed on responsibilities, bosses failed on keeping a business afloat, kids failed to grasp realities, TV executives failed viewers, so-and-so actor failed such-and-such series, wife failed husband, husband failed wife, etc.
4. If you asked writers to create a freaky movie about an asylum closing down and the crazies allowed out to terrorize society (like some Batman movie)....the reality is that we'd describe present day America....except without Batman.
5. Mob rule is more prevalent now....than at any point in the past fifty years.
6. We've reached a point where you can confess and admit your veganism....over and over, while munching on a burger or eating a steak. It's just plain OK to be in a bizarro world where nothing can make sense. As long as you say it.....it's true (even if it's 100-percent false).
7. A whole society of people in their 70s....probably can remember the test episodes in high school on nouns, pronouns, adjectives, etc....where they asking why the hell any of this was important to remember. Today, by the time you turn four.....you need to have some vast knowledge level of pronouns.
8. Capitalism brought you a million-odd advantages in life....from whiskey and diet-beer.....to Game of Thrones and gender surgical stuff.
9. There's just not that much compassion for out-of-work politicians.
10. There's just not a day that passes that 'Elon' doesn't come up in news hype. It's like he's become some Jesus-cult figure, Tom Brady, and Batman all rolled up into one.
