I think one big issue that is causing things to fester, though is very subtle, is that, at least in my experience, a lot of things just seems a lot harder to get done. It's almost like everything I have to do in life results in some conflict however minor. No one wants to help anyone anymore. Instead, it almost seems like they want to make every transaction as difficult as possible. It's no longer "hey, how can we help you? How can we get this done?" And more "why the fuck are you interrupting / inconveniencing me?" It's gotten worse since the lockdown. And while it's subtle per transaction, it has a huge effect. It makes everyone very cynical about "the system" and cycles out from there.
