Agreed, now is there going to be any accountability for why this hasn't been the case for decades, or are we never going to analyze why we're here to begin with? IMHO there is a meta-problem here, that year after year the attempts to solve the problem fail but it seems the population at large don't care about how many "attempts" it takes, there is a lack of looking at not just the root cause but at solution attempts which then leads to failure to learn anything about the problem and failure to solve it for decades, because nobody wants to ask why have we failed so much already.
