      aerosols, the main chemical contributing to the degrading ozone layer, were a newer tech and easier to get people to accept they had to give them up or get used to new ones that worked a little differently. petrochemical sources of fuel had been in use for 40 years by the first documentation, and have throughout their history been the lifeblood of the world’s militaries. the problem is not entitlement. the problem is systemic entrenchment.

      what do you even mean? you really wanna tell me the society of the 1990s was less entitled than the society of today? that’s patently absurd. who ran things back then was an entitled boomer generation who had just inherited things from the prior silent generation who picked things up from the greatest generation. that boomer generation is still who’s holding the power. the generations active at the time were the silent generation, boomers, Xers, and millenials. are you really gonna tell me gens Z and alpha have made society net more entitled? nah dawg. what we have is a problem where somewhere along the way we stopped valuing generational continuity so that older generations could hold onto things easier.
