It isn't your fault, corporations tried and continue to try to shift the blame to the average Joe even though they're the ones causing the problem
The problem is that there absolutely need to be political measures taken and those will have to mean that gas gets far more expensive, flying won't be easily possible anymore and meat will be a special treat instead of the go-to option
But unless a decent amount of people change to show politicians that they can be re-elected even if they pursue those changes noone will even try
A politician promising rising prices (even if indirectly) will never have any success as long as it's possible for opponents to run on a platform of "nothing has to change" that denies the reality
