I would agree with you, except I'm on the way out, and the generations taking over want plenty & ease,
and so long as those willing to take advantage of the 'plebians'
remain among us...
they will continue promising and failing and blaming,
and...getting wealthier - virtually, across the board.
But every new wave of 'plebian' emerges from school,
freshly showered and glowing with enthusiasm
for the new revolution
and those 545'ers are locked-in
to their social media and its influence...
Barring Thanos' arrival in the skies
I don't see a lot of hope in where this is headed.
(Meaning, I don't see "We, The People" getting together to live without all this stuff
and, our social lives, and access to everything, everywhere, all the time...long enough,
to even give it a chance to take root.
M. Night Shyamalan's "The Village" is one view of how such an idea could pan out.
- spoiler alert - going to give away part of the plot, so, look away, if you don't want to know...but,
It didn't even survive one generation without falling on its own sword.)
Do, like your thoughts.

The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.
