Well put. But I worry that all this wealth has made our kids so soft that

Don't forget about Apophis, with whom we've a possible date in 2036.

And the Apocalypse.. What's the latest date for that again?? And the
Rapture, and the End Times, and SkyNet coming online...

I'm still waiting for the Dodgers to Return Triumphant to Brooklyn.
Only then, all will be right with the world.
