Not directly worse, no. Microplastics are killing ocean life. That will kick off a chain-reaction of food shortage-related catastrophes: big time wars and a lot of megadeath. We're going to see a WHOLE LOT of mini-Hitlers come from that.
Oh watching COVID kill your parents or friends because some plague rat coughed on them is going to motivate a lot of people. I know just seeing it happen on the news motivated me.

And hire police that will come down hard as titanium on idiots rushing stores unmasked and blocking traffic at vaccination centers. And start booting trucks in anti-vax convoys. Treat them like they treat Black Lives Matter.
I don't really know any Jewish person who doesn't sympathize with this, even if where I live is way too far from LA or NYC. I honestly don't know where these people are who support what's happening to the Palestinians. Maybe we live in a bubble?
More likely DEI. (Blacks, again.)
