I’ve always wondered in those gray, dystopian movies with smog filled skies, smoke stacks, military forces, and people behind fences: how could they let it get that far?

I never even considered how quickly it could happen.

The boomers are aging and lead poisoned. Education system is spotty. Poor areas have less tax revenue, leading to worse schools, and that creates a cycle.

People are addicted to social media and it’s literally rotting their brains. 15 second video clips with the same background audio playing in a loop.

I think it is a lot of things happening concurrently.
