Does anyone else feel we've fallen into a "lull" period--where the world is still pretty terrible, but plenty of personal routines are now normalizing after coming out of more intense phases of pandemic?
Tons of friends are consumed with work & community functions as if we were back in 2019. It's interesting, because we still have a heck of a struggle ahead, but after having had *time* to reflect on that struggle, the cadence of everyday living has reasserted itself. Are we less ready to act?

I attribute it to denial. Most people can't deal with the enormity of the problems facing us.
@Jeber There's so little we can do, too, when so much of our future rests in corporate circles, and among the government officials in their pockets. Bit of denial, bit of despair.
@MLClark
I guess it can be depressing, but it's reality. If we let it overwhelm us to the point of denial we'll never find a solution if there is one. No one (outside religion) ever promised us that life would always be easy and humanity's future is assured. We could easily go the way of the dinosaurs, and much sooner, if we ignore all that's going on.
That's why I contend that nothing is off the table. We may have to have a revolution against the rich and powerful yet to save humanity.
