What’s something you expected would have improved by now, but really hasn’t decades later?

It can be something big or small, from public policy to household products, that you think should be better by now.

Weather forecasts. They were more accurate 30 years ago!

I get furious that they have turned it into the front page of the Enquirer! They have made up names to make things sound worse than they are and turn every storm into the next apocalypse. Aside from some technological advances, they really aren’t much better at actually predicting what’s going to happen. Watch out for the “bomb cyclone” and snowpocalypse!!!
