alt Hacker NewsWhich the average person doesn’t know because this is the 50th headline they’ve read on how we’re screwed today that hasn’t happened.
They’ve blown their attention budget for the layman and aren’t getting it back unless someone serious guides their attention.

This isn't some accident, the public could understand many complex situations that just don't have billions of dollars in FUD propaganda networks that takeover the Whitehouse whenever the public is starting to get what it wants.

the things are happening though.
e.g. if you read a headline in the 70s that said something like "ski seasons will shorten by an average of 1 day per year, leading to only 5 inches of snow water equivalent in Colorado resorts by 2026, and eliminating the economic viability of skiing in the northeast by 2060" that would have been completely correct.
