Any such issue is very complex. There are always several things that need to happen to "fix" them.
So, if you react like this to any single attempt — "this can't work, as there are other issues to solve first" — then nothing ever gets fixed.
That's basically nihilism. You do you, but if you are so certain it can't work, why even bother commenting on this at all? 🤔
@rysiek Lots of people these days are focused on "not" something. You propose a solution (whether it's politics, or technical, or culture whatever) and their reply is "not that." It's easy to say "not that". It's hard to say "we want this" and actually have a viable, workable solution.
When someone replies to my suggestion with "not that" I just immediately reply with "what do we do instead?" Frequently they don't know.
Nobody would live in a house if everyone said "not a cave, not a hut, not a hole in the ground, not a tree, not a bush..." You can't arrive at "I want to live in a house" by naming all the things you DON'T want to live in.
