Re packing: We were a career Marine Corps family who moved a lot. By age 5, I had been trained so well, you could give me a pile of newspapers, and the contents of the fine china cabinet, and I'd have the contents packed so carefully, we never lost even a teacup.

I think deadpan satire is more important than ever; it teaches that absurdity isn't always flagged for you, you have to actually evaluate what you're being told. If people thought more about things before absorbing them, we probably wouldn't be where we are. The problem isn't satire, it's that reality has become so nuts that it's difficult to satirise.
