Global warming
As long as the insurance companies could come up with some convincing statistics and scientific sounding results to back their global warming claim, they had an excuse to make a lot more money by raising insurance rates. They would live even more like kings/queens than they already did off the extra money.

Change
There's a lot of people who are quick to try and change something that's been there for decades or longer, but don't want to preserve anything that's been around a while, they only seem to want to preserve something new and fresh, something that just got done.
The guy/girl wanted everything he/she wasn't a part of or didnt do with his/her group eliminated, but wanted everything he/she/they did do preserved forever. They thought everyone had to welcome and agree with their thoughts about change, and that anybody who disagreed should die.

Raw sewage
People have swam in raw sewage before, and turned out okay. Still, the news tells people in South Florida do not walk around in the shit filled floodwaters from Tropical Storm Eta, it's dangerous. Just what people need, to be fed something else to get paranoid about, since the coronavirus didn't seem to get enough people paranoid.
South Florida resident on news- Ewwww, raw sewage mixed in with the floodwater, that's other people's shit, it smells horrible, that's how I knew there was sewage in the water. I'm not going in that. They need to start pumping all the water out immediately, it's not getting done fast enough!

Race relations
Race relations seemed better and less divided a few years ago, back when the Confederate statues were still around. At least back then, even if they argued at times, they were still talking points. Now that the statues aren't there people are expected to forget history, change, and compromise. That won't make anything better. Before the statues were removed people said they were divisive, but race relations seemed to do well. Now that they've been removed, people really are more divided.
Race relations don't improve if people don't get to discuss history from all angles, even the unpopular (unprofitable) ones. As long as one group wants another group to change, forget, or compromise, things aren't going to get better, they're going to keep getting worse. Sometimes (actually many times throughout history) things were already as good as they were going to get, then people were people (doing anything to get what they want, as people do), and they still wanted change, and they thought they could do better, and they all fucked it all up. They were all part of the problem, since everyone is.
