> that's not the situation nor the feeling everywhere in the world, certainly not where I live

Do you expect your government to navigate whatever transition might await us in a manner that works out well for the vast majority of your countrymen? What about the governments of other major world powers? Even if your local government does all the right things, will the world as a whole end up in a good place?

That said, I'm not sure that there's much in the way of actionable options, at least not with clearly defined outcomes.

No, but I expect them to do the best they can, with the information they have available, as always, as they just like me, are just humans. Trusting the legislative branch of my government is different from "so you think it'll work out well for everyone then huh?", btw.

Why does it matter how much I trust the legislative branch from other countries? They do as they wish, we continue to do as we wish.

My experience and opinion is that generally the world is getting better almost every day, vast difference even compared to ten years ago, how much better the world is today, for most people. There are some few countries which lately been going in the wrong direction, but for the most part, we (humanity) are getting incrementally better.
