As we say, we know who and we know why.

I thank the stars the real world doesn't offer a skip pot - but even then, we know that the scroungers would rather get a hand out than bother. All of the envy in the world; yet they would reduce it to babies level so they can obtain it without work or investment. Crippling it entirely.

I certainly think someone knows precisely what they are doing here in all these areas. Which is why I implore people to hold their ground - popular or not. Worth is worth. You can't subjectify everything to suit a narrative. Even if 'most' people prefer a one button cruise; the equality they espouse should extend beyond the opposite number. Those being given that oh so generous 1% As per your implication; their distaste or even hate for those who disagree is very similar to a emergent world view. This is a game of people. Of course it is leaking into it.

Has anyone even paused to reflect on the hilarity of the concept; 'nobody wants challenge or things that take work'. Because in a very practical way that becomes 'Nobody cares that its meaningless. Enjoy'. The very antithesis to purpose, or long term investment in ...anything at all.

The level of stupidity beggars belief. On deaf ears though. I recommend finding a discipline that rewards hard work, has a progressive learning curve. And one where long term investors are respected for that much. Not condemned as some sort of laughing stock, for the crime of 'being concerned'.
