Well, as someone living in the United States, I live with the saddening understanding that our military spending indicates that we're willing to immiserate large swaths of the world's population for increasingly diminishing returns.

It's authoritarian enough that I have no choice but to support our military decisions through the taxes I pay.

We’ve already agreed to certain food standards. The fact that people don’t follow them is enough for me to say we need something more strict. Is it a headset? Maybe not. But periodic training and availability of PPE aren’t doing the job either. The shortage of labor at the low end of the market doesn’t help, either. What I’d rather have than a germophobic headset is for people to take pride in their work (whether you serve food or write code), but that also seems to be a lost cause. I’m lucky if I can get a restaurant to count the number of items in the bag before handing it to the delivery driver.
