Maybe there's an assumption that it's not 1950, it's 75 years later now. But if people don't really know their history, they are doomed to repeat it.
As an American, I feel that the average ordinary citizen is not very educated in history. And no wonder, how we treat the education system in this country.
This reminds me of "Why do people always have to bring politics into this?"
Hate to break it to you, but politics is relevant to every facet of life in a civilization. From the food you eat, to the ways you're able to make a living, to everything else in your life.
It's just like Big Oil (or insert massive scale business with environmental consequences) - they're making the world inhabitable. As the consequences don't "immediately" matter to them , all they care about is the immediate future, not long term. But it still makes no sense to me.
-Oil/butter on the cap or outside of the bottle/container it's in. I don't want to feel the oil when turning the cap or opening the container.
-Spaces that ventilate so hard the air feels dry and just makes you thirsty (most retail spaces).
-New car headlights that might as well be your brights.
-Standing in shower water. I need that water to flow down the drain.. if it starts backing up, I'm not showering. I'm cleaning out the drain.
-How to describe this.. my feet in the winter will be cold without socks, but with socks they tend to get warm enough to sweat which then makes them cold and now wrapped in a sock. There's no winning.
