Our governments seem to have just two tools for big issues in society (because they're quick and cheap):

- Nudging, propaganda, posters and automated announcements

- New legislation to ban something

If something can't be fixed with either of those, nothing gets fixed. Shockingly this happens a lot!

Their mates will make some money and lobbyists appeased, then they'll get distracted about what to ban and clutch pearls over next, and the issues our children have will persist and get worse
