It is VERY ugly, I agree. But the 'big picture' is hardly ever pretty...which explains why everyone is so focused on themselves lately.
Nevertheless it's going to get worse unless we do something about it darn quick. I would've loved for some recession-time initiatives to advance current alternatives...but apparently, we're too short-sighted of a society to work on these things before it's a problem...so, I invite the problem and pray the solution is a quick one. :(
