People losing track of history. No system will be perfectly for everyone, ever. One system has helped the most people ever in history.

Fix what's broken, don't switch to something already proven worse.

I never even experienced the shitty systems, but sometimes I feel some sort of immersion or shock therapy is needed to remind people. We have evidence. People have suffered and died to generate that evidence.

A quarter of the country lives on less than $34k a year. I bet that would shock some people into changing their definition of what is 'shitty'.
