1/ The problem with the American economy is not just that we were hit hard by the pandemic. The problem is that it was rigged even beforehand, turning a situation that was painful for tens of millions of people into something now almost unsurvivable.

2/ It's not enough to bring "relief" or "rescue" to people; unless we create real reform, their economic trauma will soon return. The only way we can really begin to *reform* the system is with #Medicare4All, #CancelStudentDebt, #FreeTuition and #MinimumWage15.

3/ Unless we return tax rates for the wealthy and corporations to fair and equitable rates, end ridiculous corporate subsidies to industries that hurt our health and planet, and are willing to stare down the MIC and cut the defense budget, America will continue to decline.

4/ Small incremental approaches to any of those things will be too little, too slow and too late. Don't take what MLK Jr. called "the tranquilizing drug of gradualism." We need fundamental structural change and we need it now. The only thing we'll lose is the despair of millions.

You know what’s unsurvivable? Having terrorists shoot hundreds of rockets into your country with the intent of killing civilians. Where’s your outrage at what hamas is doing?

#UBI would also help end crippling poverty and the threat of it.

And here I thought from your books that we only needed to change our Perception of Reality.... and not Reality itself. The way in which reality/environment forms our consciousness & behavior as the latest science states... kinda make your books obsolete. youtube.com/MN8Zn96ykbM

Human Behavior Explained

Jacque Fresco explains how environment plays a role in human behavior. Most of this compilation is taken from a 1999 lecture at Nichols College.

Like our healthcare approach, we treat symptoms, not root causes. We need to address the social determinants of everyday issues as well as health. Best account on this platform for that discussion is @brianrahmer

You had me until you believe I am responsible for someone’s health, education, and wages. I can’t.
