For example.

I miss store checkouts from years ago. It used to be that speed and accuracy were the norm, along with good bagging. These days, it seems like companies put the absolute slowest, must retarded workers at the checkout to try and push us toward self checkout. I had a single hand basket of goods today that took the person at the register no less than 6 minutes to check through, and I ended up with 10 bags of shit mixed together.

Sounds like a short time, but just time yourself standing in one spot for 6 minutes, and think about a hand cart taking that long. Back when people could afford entire shopping carts full of food, those clerks would fly through stuff at the register.

When people had convictions. When they stubbornly refused to bend the knee to what obviously had a foul smell.

Now people are maybe a few steps above insects in their behaivor. Too many people I know have got the vaccine, not because they genuinely believe that a deadly virus would kill them otherwise, but so they can board planes in case they are "required" to have gotten it.

This is the key here: they're pretty skeptical of the virus, not terrified of it like others, yet they agreed to go through with the vaccine just to avoid potential inconvenience.

That's another thing, when people could witstand inconvenience. Now at the slightest inconvenience most are ready to bend over backwards to avoid it.
