hmm, was going to say military drone strikes, but I think it'll eventually get scary if/when awful-people gain similar technology and attack the US with it.

So I'll go with car accidents. I know riding horses have risks, but I doubt if everyone did it we'd get local stories every day of deaths and injuries. Dunno

The idea of ALWAYS being connected to the metaverse for social and job reasons and you're seen as a weirdo/lazy employee if you're not.

Due to advances in marketing and social programming, absolute crap can be insanely popular. So, we all go through life with crap constantly being thrown at us.
