Here is my explanation: plain and simple population aging. People simply got older. Median American is 10 years older now than 50 years ago. Less testosterone, their hunting instinct got weaker, they grew fat (in both direct and indirect sense) and are less adventurous. When things go south, 50 years ago they will pack up and move, now they sit in the dirt and remember the Good Old Days. Sadly, there is absolutely no way to fix this (while Trump's plan to shut down Obamacare and effectively cripple Medicare is a step in 'right' direction LOL)
