The cost of living in "good times" where things are plentiful due to the status quo and existing policy is we have to listen to idiots who claim we're doing it all wrong and that we need to change our ways. These people's voices are squashed when times aren't so good because we have to actually succeed and get things done. But they'll be back once things are back to being good, complaining about everything, claiming the world is ending and that nothing is sustainable and that everything is broken.
