It's not perfect, and it's far from perfect for a lot of people. Some times, we're doing alright. But there are many moments where we resemble a tire fire with the best PR department on the planet. The optics don't line up with the data, and that's frustrating. That doesn't mean that we're all unhappy, but rather we're wrestling with the dissonance around knowing it could/should be better, especially for those worse off than ourselves.
