We are in the vampiric phase of American late-stage capitalism. The ruling class is unyielding in its ways, thereby sinking two young generations into unnecessary debt (millenials & Gen Zers). I recall a phrase you came up with: "we are politically homeless" and you're right. 😔

I’m so tired of their excuses. They have a unique opportunity right now to positively impact people’s lives and they’re ignoring it. 50K is the compromise. Nothing less. We can get it done by EO.

Lmao 10K is a slap in the face. That doesn’t scratch the surface of most of our debt
