Because as we solve societal problems new ones will arise. There's no utopian ideal.

They don't what?

So we are content and complicit and stick with the status quo? That mindset itself is a problem. A problem that would still have us living in caves.

Why can't we be content but not "complicit" and still address issues? I'd argue having a growing population with mental health issues is less prepared to functionally address larger problems.

This feels like it's piggy backing off of a caricature of a zoned out druggie who doesn't care what's happening around them.

Perfection isn't required and as others have noted there are countries with far less problems so obviously it is possible

Never said it was impossible to improve. I said it was impossible to "fix" society.

Fix doesn't mean perfection either. Come on, it means bring things to a level consistent with other similar countries.

Your absolute take on this is a deflection to avoid any change

I have never said we shouldn't improve things. That's very much a strawman.
