NASA routinely transported space shuttles along city streets. Huge crowds would gather to look and cheer. Trees, signs and lamp posts had to be temporarily removed or adjusted. The route required levelling the streets and raising power lines. Try to do the same with a marvel of modern engineering, a wind turbine blade, and every whining kidult will vomit an unceasing torrent of abuse onto the socials. This is how societies have changed, and again I don't think we see it. No adult, collective sense of progress or ambition, just endless nitpicking complaint.
