Just a friendly reminder that it would be hard to imagine today's womanhood being able to put up with returning to what in its heyday was known as the Suzy Homemaker role. Most of today's women are too well educated for that, and for them the idea of going back to Suzy Homemaker seems comparable to returning to the days when women couldn't vote.
As far as an era in which changes can be made, they can be done in any turning. In the era of hiatus and regression there were vast changes in both technology and philosophies, I will admit not all for the better. One key area where the regression comes in is in the area of workers' rights. We should move form at-will employment to a just cause model. But will we? There doesn't seem to be that kind of consensus despite some movement such as Fight for 15. Amazon has become a near monopoly by treating their workers as livestock at best, vermin at worst.
Where fossil fuels is concerned, one poster recently stated that we might first need to abandon the car culture. Not to long ago I read where in only about 12 percent of the US can one get by fairly well without a car. If you are anywhere within "the other 88" you will have significant difficulties. And besides, the nature of the spread out landscape makes is not cost effective to run public transit in said areas.
The pandemic has hastened the idea of putting innovative ways of working to the test, most notably remote works paces sans a physical office. Such flexibility might even result in more folks being determined to follow through on a plan or project and do a great job. We also can achieve greater work-life balance if we work to work smarter not harder.
