Not for immediate profits and plans for expansion in energy storage.
Just for general survival of the planet.
But no government actually cares about that. That's poor people problems.

But it also does the dishes without using as much water as you do.
The sad truth is a lot of religious people believe that the end times won't come unless the earth isn't livable anymore.
A even LARGER group of religious simply think their sky person will give them a new earth that's perfect so why bother protecting this one.
They and their supporters are complicit in the murder of the planet at best, and are trashing everything on purpose, trying to claw back any and every support of things that can make it a better place.
I my experience, the oldest child is forced to mature faster by being required to perform childcare duties, especially in families with many children.
Younger siblings basically "get to be a kid" longer than older ones.
This is unfair to both older and younger siblings for a myriad of reasons, but both are a failure of parenting, and society as a whole. The parents should not be forcing the dynamic, and society should not be putting parents in a position where they feel they have to.
As for "feeling immature" as an adult... That is entirely dependent on what you measure maturity by. My wife and I sing nonsense tunes at each other, sometimes just look up and go "QUACK!" for no reason. We have gone to a playground to go swinging. We have gone outside to play in the snow.
I didn't get my first job without my mother's help until 20. I didn't get my license until 26. I didn't get my first full time job until 33. I absolutely hate going to a store at all, let alone by myself. Although if I'm being honest I would rather go by myself since it's faster and less chance of my wife grabbing 10 extra things because we passed the aisle and she went something snack-y.
Remember, "Autism Spectrum Disorder" is, as the name implies, a spectrum. As such everyone is on it. Most people are gathered in a general area area (the people who would be considered "normal" by someone who has a more traditional old way of thinking) I personally believe I'm a little further toward the "autism" side, based on a bunch of comparing my personal experience with others who are diagnosed. I don't believe it's that big a deal for me, as I am fully capable of functioning on my own as an adult.
A bit of armchair psychology, I'd wager you're a bit like my wife and due to narcissistic and withholding parents you likely need more reassurance than the average person. This isn't a failure on your part at all, and it's not a "developmental disability" it's just a bit of childhood trauma.
To answer more directly:
In my opinion, yes eldest siblings often mature faster. Feeling immature is probably normal, and maturity is a pretty vague notion in general. ASD in general isn't as big a deal as many people think. If you'll forgive me for saying so, your family kind of sucks.
"but whatabout..."
Sorry for being unable to answer the woman side of the question. 30s, "male" but honestly could also qualify as "closeted genderfluid" or "agender" maybe, I don't know.
Never really felt "masculine" in the stereotypically toxic way older generations and conservatives are obsessed with, and if I'm being honest I've always wanted breasts and to look more feminine but have no desire to have any sort of "bottom surgery"
My wife has encouraged me to grow my hair out, but honestly I'm not sure what to do with it. I just put it in a ponytail, sometimes for multiple days in a row. But I want to do more stuff with it. Executive dysfunction goes great with a lot of things....
Although I would like to appear more feminine, I hate makeup. I have done musical theater since middle school and absolutely hate the feeling of stage makeup. I understand there are different types of makeup and I'm sure proper application would feel less like a layer of clay and more like a light dusting.
Some days I want to go out wearing women's clothes, but never have. Some days I feel like wearing work jeans and a ratty t-shirt full of holes but it's comfy. Some days I feel like a gelatinous blob only constrained by sweat pants.
Fuck labels, do you.
Lmao my mom used to say real men don't cry.
One day as a teen I was angry and tearing up and she said that, so I just screamed at her "I'VE SEEN DAD AND GRANDPA BOTH CRY SO SHUT THE FUCK UP" And honestly I think she realized she was wrong at least about that, because she has never said it since even to my sister's kids, and I didn't even get in trouble for swearing at her.
Cry away, fellow human. Disregard those who cannot allow themselves to feel emotions for fear of seeming "less than".
I'd say it's not weird to wonder, but it is a little unhealthy if that's what you assume is the truth every time.
That said, how often does internet go out for you?
I live on the same grid as a hospital so my power almost never goes out, and live close enough to several cell towers my phone can use that cell service isn't a problem.
So if my internet goes out, I assume my provider is having technical problems.
Well here in the US we've been speedrunning Germany in the 1930s, so it tracks that the places we fuck up and try to control would also be speedrunning their own thing.
The only good fascism is MY fascism!
I've only interacted with two dementia/alzheimer's patients, so I'll admit I don't know much about the conditions.
While yes, they could get belligerent and uncooperative, but largely would agree with pretty much whatever you were saying, as long as you weren't using a mean tone. Basically they were thought sponges that had no problem agreeing with whatever you said, and even repeating it for a short time before losing it.
Trump is clearly a thought sponge for whoever he last spoke to that wasn't immediately adversarial to him.
It doesn't, any more than "from the river to the sea".
The only way you can think "river to sea" slogan implies genociding the Israeli occupiers is if you can't possibly imagine any other way to transfer ownership than brutal imperialistic colonizer-like expansion. You know, like what Israelis are currently doing to Palestinians.
Framing it as "you're calling for genocide" is just another way zionists try to conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism.
It seems to me like people like this are telling on themselves that they're stuck in Colonial/imperial mindsets and lack imagination.
