It is not that the public is ignorant, it is just that other things are more pressing. Many on here would be horrified if they knew what a doctor knows about the medical system or a professor knows about higher education - again not ignorance or bad, just that the more we know of an industry, the more the issues are salient.

I'd have agreed with you just after Ethiopian, but a grounding of this length and scale is unprecedented and we are in the era of social media.
