Well I agree with the difficulty here. But I think as a society we should both try to make it easier to make this transition and help individuals feel like they CAN make the transition. Otherwise it's sort of nonstop toil ain't it?

On that we agree. Pretending that it's already easy or even POSSIBLE for everybody doesn't help achieve that goal, though.

I don't think anyone thinks it's super easy deep down. Folks might be glib with it though. I think it does us a disservice to assume the majority cant vs the majority can. But that's just an opinion.

It's not an assumption, it's statistical fact. Pretending otherwise is denial that stands in the way of improving things.

But that's just an opinion.

An extremely unhelpful one.
