If I can use a floor cleaning metaphor:
The floor was pretty filthy in the 20th century, but a lot of it was swept under the rug so it looked pretty clean at casual glance.
Thusfar in the 21st century, we threw out the rug and bought a smaller one, did a modest job at cleaning up some of the dirt under it, and there's a small number of people who deliberately shit on the rug because being decent human beings isn't a thing they can do.
And I think that brings us to 2024.
That’s really well done!
there's also a fully automatic turbo-vacuum sitting in the closet, which the people who shit on the carpet are actively restricting our access to and trying to make us forget it exists.
