Peak Boomer.
The "missing missing reasons" was basically created just for Boomer parents.
Isn't Indiana also losing the majority of their OB healthcare workers after targeting them over, ya know, healthcare?
States are speedrunning into authoritarian holes.
The primary issues seem to stem from a) celebrities who are using steroids to achieve their on-screen physiques, and then lying via outlets like Men's Health about their "chicken, rice, and broccoli" diets, and b) social media "influencers" who are also using steroids.
In other words, young men are being inundated with lies from all angles, and then feel a natural sense of failure when their own efforts don't yield anything close to the same results. Because natural lifters will never look like an actor on steroids, regardless of how much chicken and broccoli they eat.

Hmm. Well, I can explain it to you, but I can't comprehend it for you.
You believe that you are right, and can't, or won't consider that you could be applying an overly rigid perspective to a problem that requires a great deal of flexibility. Moreover, you seem fixated on punishing those who "break rules." That's simply not a very effective way to affect change across human society.
Best of luck to you.
The "normalization of speeding" is because human beings didn't evolve to travel at the speeds available to anyone with a driver's license. In other words, you're asking for a revision of human nature, which is simply not a practical solution. What would be practical is a system of public transportation that makes individual cars moot, or at least less of an intrinsic necessity, but in the US, there are moneyed interests who will fanatically push back on any alternate options. Car makers, insurance companies, bars and restaurants, and even the "healthcare" industry all profit from people having to own a car and use said car to navigate living in this country. You'd need to provide a broad and low-cost alternative, while dismantling those entrenched interests to make a new paradigm stick.
So, in the meantime, it sounds like your driving habits are stick-in-the-mud and you likely create impediments to the flow of traffic, as others adapt around your unwillingness to modify behaviors to the situation. The fact that you see yourself as some kind of shining example of driving purity and hope that other drivers get into an accident as some weird punitive recourse is really troubling. Maybe you should talk to a professional about your moralistic judgementalism and anger issues.
Nah. Drive by the flow of traffic.
Unobservant people who are "following the rule" in dynamic situations usually create more danger than people adapting to the situation.
Especially when they get all the way in the left lane to drive 65mph while others are passing them on the right.

Are these the checks and balances?
I really enjoyed the prior Lemmy wherein people led with their expertise, or approached conversation as an opportunity to learn.
This new paradigm of "my emotional impulse is equal to your knowledge" is definitely a decline, imo.
