I get what you are saying. But on the whole 'our society' has become too lazy and compliant. We cry 'there ought to be a law'.... when some problem or injustice surfaces. More laws = more opportunity for tyranny. 'Compassion' is a gov check vs volunteering, donating and working to give people a 'hand up' Sometimes helping people is letting them fall flat on their faces so they can learn a lesson - too many of my friends bail out their adult kids financially from stupid decisions, which leads to entitlement. Most of them are not even grateful. They deflect blame. We the people have been content to let someone else worry about the problems - Netflix, pot, social media - opiates for the masses vs civic engagement, critical thought and looking at the big picture as to where all this is taking us. A lot woke up in 2020, and a lot more still need to get there. But if we don't fix the 'baaaaa' problem, we will be right back there again before we know it.
