cause and effect may be getting conflated. is the media driving people's attention spans, or are people naturally careless?

i'd prefer to think people care about themselves and others, and are otherwise distracted by trivialities to take their mind off of things, sometimes (hopefully less than 49% of the time) to excess

Yeah, you might be totally right! But in this specific topic, it really doesn't matter. That's much bigger topic of discussion. My point was, most likely people will move on and forget about it once a new hot topic comes up. Everything that could've been said online, has already been said. Markets and people have decided multiple times within US policy making that the way it is structured right now is what people want. It would change a huge outrage to start changing the infrastructure around it.
