Here's the depressing reality: there are a lot of people in the bilge with buckets, quietly bailing like mad so they don't drown. I'm not just talking IT personnel here, there are legions of under-appreciated, underpayed essential workers (more than just healthcare professionals) that keep our civilization afloat. You don't hear from them, because they are a) too busy getting shit done, and b) disenfranchised (this includes not getting time off work to vote).

The irony is you are distracted by the peacocks strutting about on deck debating whether we should even admit the bilge is filling up.
