Here's mine. Stop expecting industrial progress/growth just for it's own sake. We have everything we need in terms of creature comforts* if only the ones with excess would stop expecting progress and let the one's who don't have everything they need enjoy what we have done for ourselves as a species. Provide for yourself and your loved ones, provide for the earth and return a surplus.
Therefore when progress doesn't manifest, or even regresses, I am not at all surprised/unhappy. I still have everything I need to be happy. A truly rich person is one who is happy no matter the circumstances.
Overall, though, the report is pretty accurate.
I would not, however, call air-conditioning, washing machines, dish washers and interstate highways progress of any sort.Take a look back at some of the most popular TV programs of the mid-1960s — “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” “Bewitched,” even “The Beverly Hillbillies” — and what do you see?
Like today, middle-class Americans typically had washing machines and air-conditioning, telephones and cars. The Internet and video games were not yet invented. But life, over all, did not look that different.
There were TVs and radios in most homes. Millions of people worked in downtown offices and lived in suburbs, connected by multilane highways. Americans’ average life expectancy at birth was 70, only eight years less than it is today.
*Example - why do we keep building/maintaining roads? We have way more than we need. If we stopped driving on them so much or even went to something else (horse and buggy on asphalt would work well!) we wouldn't need to maintain them so much. They'd last much longer. Obviously this is much more complicated, but follow that general direction.
