During the pandemic we had tele-health, UBI via stimulus checks, employers supporting work from home and practically eliminated the flu because people wore masks in crowded places.

We really touched greatness and gave it all away to return to the status quo.

But they also don't increase shareholder value so it's a bit of a tossup.
