I really hate this kind of attitude, this whole idea of "It negatively affects others, but it doesn't affect me personally so I don't care." We live in a world of ever-increasing enshittification, of increasing corporate power over people (such as increasingly normalizing the entire idea of the working class not owning anything they spend money on), of increasing economic hardship, of technology gone mad, but some people feel it doesn't bother them so they just shrug and go "Not my problem. Sucks to be you, I guess," as if the concerns of others aren't even worth addressing. It's like saying "Sure, education sucks in this country, but I don't have kids so I don't really care," or " I've already owned this home for a long time and its value keeps going up, and I'm going to see to it that said line keeps going up. Why should I care about affordable housing? Newer buyers being increasingly priced out isn't my problem." We really have produced a culture where toxic individualism runs rampant, where people only care about themselves and everyone else can go pound sand. A culture increasingly devoid of empathy. Of "I've got mine, Jack."
