How can people stand this world?

How can people stand this world?
I don't understand how people can be happy, as most everything is pointless and depressing. Social media, sports, TV, government, disease, and future energy problems. Social media i had one for about a year found out quickly that i didn't like it as I didn't care what people were posting. Such as, "just got finished eating dinner" or "Have to walk my dog" or "super exited for blah blah blah". Sports anoy me because of how much they are talked about and are pointless entertainment, every single year people root for a random team to win, then when a team wins nothing really happens and just starts over. TV just waists time and is another meaningless form of entertainment, you can't even choose the exact show you want to watch. Also even if you are using a subscription such as direct TV you still have to watch commercials the only thing you gain from a subscription is slightly more selection of channels. But, the cost is just ridiculous and some people spend over $100 a month just to watch TV, $1200 a year saved you can do so much with the money. Such as working less, spending on worthwhile hobby, or maybe investing who knows, whatever you want. Also, smart phones i see so many people my age (high school) who have them, parents paying for there spending just to tweet, Facebook, whatever on the go. Then they, do not even take care of the phone, by regularly dropping it, putting it in back pocket, or pocket with keys. Then, after 2 years replace a perfectly good phone just because it happens to be old or outdated. They rarely think past 2 years for the phone, by purchasing a phone that is difficult to repair, further supporting planned obsolescence and excessive consumption. Waiting in line to buy a new product to hide there low self worth seeking meaning in products. Willing to spend on proprietary software ( really need a replacement for auto desk inventor which costs over $1000 and really annoys me). Then there are people who do drugs and willingly mess up there brain (underage). They live in the moment and don't think about there future then continue to take drugs because of addiction, environment, and are just too stupid to stop. There is the us government spying on citizens (use tor or an encryption service people, but whatever maybe you don't care about your privacy), partaking in expensive wars, and corrupt politicians who refuse to compromise. I understand that we have become a world police force but we should slowly pull out of everyone problems. I believe that some countries have become to reliant on our military force so we could give them time to prepare if we do ever pull out. Then there are politicians who are corrupted by donations from various corporate interests, sensationalistic news channels with political agendas. Also, various government regulations which i dislike, such as car regulations. The car manufacturers are forced to make cars with a certain amount of airbags, traction control, emission standards (actually is useful), and mpg (actually is useful but could use some modifications in my opinion such as lower mpg needed if using bio fuel). I believe that the safety of vehicles should be chosen by consumers and does not need regulations. If the consumer wants a safe vehicle then he/she will buy a safe vehicle. Due to the added weight of numerous features cars have become heaver, more expensive, and are less reliable than they could potentially be(but maybe people enjoy paying extra for features they don't need). Just imagine a small reliable car that uses biodiesel and without useless electronics to go wrong it would be cheap and easy to work on and better than any vehicle currently on the market for our environment, Due to the easily replaceable parts, high efficiency, and lasting longer so it takes longer to go to scrap. At this point electric cars are impractical and harmful because of the batteries being used as when they go bad after 10 years need to be replaced and recycled, take to long to charge, and electric that car is using is most likely produced by coal. We just don't have the technology for it as of right now, but it would be a great option if major advance in battery technology because of less moving parts. But, moving on we need to increase spending in renewable energy( should be top priority because whole world has become too reliant and threatens national security) and disease prevention(super virus). But, yeah people just don't seem to care about stuff like this are rather continue with there meaningless everyday lives. But, i suppose there are some good parts when you do find someone similar to yourself.
Also this has kinda turned into a rant, sorry community guidelines.
