I don't think it's symbolism really matters any longer.
Has become another method of PC "Virtue Signalling".

Flight Leader: "Bogeys at 2 o'clock!"
Wingman: "Roger, It's 1:30 now, what do I do 'til then?"

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

It became meaningless to me back IN the early 80's, when I
realized that it is used as a paid $$$$$$$ propaganda tool.

This.

And the fact that during the Cuban missile crisis, it SHOULD have been 30 seconds to midnight! Yet it was 7 minutes or so.

Became meaningless when they only advance it when the 'scientists  :rolleyes:' feelings dictate instead of actual event driven as intended.  It's almost as entertaining as the debt counter.

They wouldn't accept it. No one would willing take the population of California. There isn't a big enough safe place from words for all of them.
