    It’s become very clear over the last 20 years that most people in charge all just assumed everything would continue to coast, the status quo would never change, and have absolutely no idea what to do when someone grabs the steering wheel and jerks it into the oncoming lanes.

        That one I think is more “the people in charge figured they would all be dead before it became a problem”

        I fully expect that if the cure for aging was discovered, billionaires would suddenly care a LOT more about climate change.
