  • Yeah but it’s gotten better. When I was a kid in the 70s/80s almost everyone just locked their dogs outside in the back yard and didn’t consider them family like they do now. I mean, it was their dog, yes, like sorta family, but these days almost everyone literally considering their dogs actual family, and most probably think of them in terms of being akin to children and best friends. They used to be just property and tools to a lot of people. That applies to lots of animals now, people are getting more compassionate and evolved with their theory of mind in animals. Insects, reptiles and fish are starting to sneak into that evolution as well.

What they are going to care about is now that the bond market is finally beginning to slap the knuckles of investors, interest rates are going to explode, and mortgage payments/rent are going to become a problem for a huge swath of Americans who thought they could simply ignore politics.
