you're an idiot.
you've gota be one of these new fresh-out kids that thinks he deserves his own all-hands meeting to congratulate him on every meaningless spreadsheet he poorly pumps out... get back to work and concentrate on being a better engineer.
you know what i need on my team? competent engineers, not recognition.
Too many people in the US don't want to invest in the next generation for the same reason they don't want universal health care. They live for today, f' tomorrow, and f' everyone else.
p.s. before somebody jumps in and says "engineers are paid more"...let's not forget that nurses and doctors are paid equal or more than engineers. Deans of colleges and professors (a.k.a educators) also make more than engineers.
As a medical device engineer who worked on a pandemic related device and saw our sales hit hard by canceled elective surgeries... Healthcare and teachers got it MUCH, MUCH, MUCH worse. I get it, everyone wants a pat on the back but this is a bad take.

Make oil changes easy by buying a car with easy access to the oil filter (such as at the top of the engine) and make changes super easy by replacing the drain plug with a fumoto valve.
Avoid having to use a jack and stands by using Rhino Ramps.
Change your oil regularly, use good quality oil and filters, and dump used oil at your local auto store.
Even if this is the only regular maintenance you ever do for your car you'll be well ahead in the game.
Other maintenance can be done on a needs basis and if you have a good car (Japanese preferably) needs should not be great.
I had a Camry for 10 years and only ever changed the oil, tires, and battery.
I had some run-ins with bad garages in the early days but I caught the issues quickly and learned my lesson.
First hand I have seen drain plugs that were loose and fell out after the oil change.
I have seen drain plugs where the head was wrung off them because they were overtightened.
I've had splash shields hanging off and broken and I've had the air filter housing left open after an oil change.
During an oil change I had on guy try to convince me I needed a transmission flush on my Camry with 20K miles because he said he didn't like the smell of the fluid.
I could go on...
I'm sure there are good mechanics in this country but you generally won't find them just changing oil.
Electric cars are charging at faster rates with each new generation being created. The new Hyundai Ioniq 5 can charge from 10% battery to 80% charge in 18 minutes. The full battery capacity is 300 miles. So 240 miles at 80% charge. Four hours of driving. So create whatever dooms day scenario you want, you can charge your car enough so you can drive 4 hours to the next charging station. But maybe you've created a doomsday scenario where the entire electrical grid is down indefinitely.
I have a more grave scenario. The world running out of Oil by 2052: "However, according to BP [5], earth has 53 years of oil reserves left at current rate of consumption [stanford.edu]". BP as in BP oil company giving that prediction.
From the BP link:
We do need to invest in alternative energy sources not because we need to replace oil but because we need to be able to produce MUCH larger amounts of energy to keep up with technology innovation.
