5. There's actually studies that show an increase in impatience since the covid pandemic and its not just Australia but globally.
Observing behave on the road it definitely rings true from my perspective however impatience has always existed. In my view it's the single biggest killer on the road. Most accidents can be attributed to some form of impatience. A large number of the population are useless at maths and applying it in real life. Getting stuck behind a slower vehicle isn't costing you a great deal of time. Usually it could be measured in seconds, however many carry on as though they are losing hours from their day. I used to be one of them. It took until well in to my 30's to realise this truth and to just allow more time whenever I drove anywhere.
It comes back to being self absorbed. Many don't think about others and think what they are doing is more important. Society in general now is very selfish.
8. Needing 2 incomes is driven by necessity in most cases. In some cases people choose that lifestyle, or have a lifestyle that requires 2 incomes. For many others it's just the sad reality that the cost of living has grown to a point that 2 incomes are necessary to keep the lights on and provide an acceptable existence for a family, especially if only new to the housing market.
