Because we raise and (fail to ) educate people who turn out ignorant of how science works, and people who are mistrustful of government to the point of shooting themselves in the foot rather than accept its authority.

True to all of that. I think it’s frustrating. I think we deal with that and a bit of amnesia as a society about past achievements. Things like clean air, water, and food are definitely taken for granted for by the average American yet they’re all things that conservatives fought or rather continue to fight the regulation there of.
