Yes. You raise a lot of good points, but if it is presented in the correct manner, abundance is totally possible!
I mean just look at all the go fund me accounts for like @200,000.00 dollars to "save the cats" and things like that.... If people are properly educated and motivated it will happen.
It's a blessing to have lot's of open minded and critical thinking steemians like yourself and others here on steemit.
STEEM ON!
And this is what I'm looking for. Solutions. Eduction does not come from itself, individuals need to take the role as a teacher and define how best to teach in order for others to get convinced. Motivation: Also that needs stimulation, again with the right stories, examples, proof and arguments.
You are describing my past ten years haha.
There are many individuals with those qualities coming out of the woodworks here on steemit... There is an app which you can use to find your local steemians and like minded people on www.steemtools.com.... It has helped me with starting a local crypto network here in Texas. :)
cool!

This is indeed what the reality is. But do not forget, that when this stairs is falling apart and someone gets hurt, and this is for instance in the USA, this gentleman will be a very poor gentleman. I do agree, it is ridiculous such stairs should costs 65k$ or more. Even in smaller communities, local even, agreements shall be made on who is responsible for the damage to others, when, where, what.
