We live in a world where companies make drugs not to cure the sick but to generate profits, where providing a medicine to treat the symptoms of chronic illness rather than the source for a permanent fix.
We live in a world where our leaders breed conflict/division, gerrymander voting boundaries and create systems where re-election prospects can't be higher, but public approval can't get much lower.
We live in a world where problems of housing and famine are fixable, but society is not willing to give to those on the bottom and instead joys itself in hoarding riches and increasing the power of the 1%.
This world has never had its priorities straight, it is indeed "f'd up" as you said. TBH advertising gambling to minors should be punishable by more than just a fine.
