raw sewage

Something the grief/tragedy/sympathy industry wants people to fear, like the coronavirus, the crime rate, and the boogeyman.

The grief/tragedy/sympathy industry tells people that if they don't fix the aging infrastructure now, put on a mask/get a vaccine, install a security camera, or ward off evil spirits they will have a tub filled with raw sewage, a respiratory system filled with the coronavirus, a visit from a violent criminal, or a visit from the boogeyman. Nobody lives forever, so why would anybody take the news without a grain of salt, even if some of those things really can and do happen?

Raw Dogging Life

When someone is just driving around with the sun blinding them and they could have just worn sunglasses

While in traffic Hunter notices a driver holding their hand up to block the sun glare, Hunter comments "Man there really are just people out here Raw Dogging Life"

Raw Material Synthesis

The alchemical dream of creating basic industrial materials—metals, minerals, fibers, feedstocks—from common elements rather than mining or harvesting them. Raw material synthesis promises a world where nothing is scarce because everything can be made from abundant elements: iron from rust, aluminum from clay, timber from cellulose synthesized in factories. The science is advancing: we can synthesize diamonds, grow leather in labs, and turn carbon dioxide into fabric. But the economics still favor extraction for most materials—it's cheaper to dig up iron than to make it from scratch. Raw material synthesis is the ultimate hedge against resource depletion: when the mines run dry, the labs will keep running. Until then, it's a fascinating glimpse of a post-mining future.

Example: "The startup promised to synthesize rare metals from common elements, freeing the world from mining. Their process worked in the lab, producing perfect samples of titanium from sand. Scaling to industrial production proved harder—the energy costs were astronomical. They pivoted to making jewelry, where customers paid extra for 'synthetic' as a virtue. Raw material synthesis survived, just not as planned."
