Humanity is careening toward a variety of scenarios that spell global catastrophe, for no reason other than we’re holding ourselves hostage to an economic system that puts short-term corporate profits before the safety & well-being of people. This is not just unjust. It’s insane.

Too many believe safety and well being means allowing politicians to act like dictators, giving them the power to quarantine healthy people and make them wear masks all day at work. Next they want vaccine passports. Oddly some red states are rejecting this tyranny.

Be careful what you wish for. You are seeking to destroy a system that has created more wealth and taken more people out of poverty than any other in the history of civilization. Flawed … yes, can be improved… yes, but, why kill what we have?
