>>"...let’s worry about political change, that’s what matters most right now."
One has to ask himself what's meant by "political change" and how that would look. Does it mean electing representatives who share like ideologies, or does it mean electing leaders who will—through diktat and fiat—exert far more control over our daily lives by restricting freedoms of choice, whether economic or personal?
If a coalition of U.S. political leaders demanded that beef should be taxed into oblivion, or that citizens will be limited to two flights per lifetime (as hinted previously at being "necessary" to achieve net zero goals) those politicians will be expelled at the quickest opportunity, either through a referendum recall vote or at the ballot box during the next election cycle. Humans will never vote against their own self interest, especially when taxation is so vastly different between nations. I've said in the past that my not eating the zucchini I had purchased before it went to waste is not going to matter to someone from Bangladesh who is going to bed hungry tonight. Do we need to do something about inefficiencies? Sure, but as with anything there are always going to be limits. And politics simply can't meet those without becoming a draconian tyranny in the process.
