On climate: are we making progress? To some extent, yes. On poverty: are we making progress? To some extent, yes. On racial justice: are we making progress? To some extent, yes. But we’re moving too slowly, too incrementally, desperately close to the brink of too little too late.

We've passed the brink and gone into the breach. We've already passed too many tipping points regarding climate change, and on the other issues, there are too many in power who just don't give a shit, who are ONLY interested in filling their bottomless pockets. Humans are hideous

The Green New Deal is about increasing consumerism and GDP growth. Covid taught us how to clean the skies. Shut everything down but the essentials. Sports and entertainment must go on the backburner. Jobs are deadly. Pay people to stay home via UBI. Then redesign all energy.

Yes, these times are NOT for moving slowly. The 1950's are gone. Ozzie and Harriet, and the cooking with a nice dress and pearls are gone. Move fast, or let the fast movers do it.

As you've said in the past ... we're right next to the cliff ... a cliff we need to move away from ... we need ... a New Progressive Majority Congress ... (hopefully in 2022) ... and a New President ... (In 2024) ... that has the Courage to ... LEAD! ... and not just count beans.

Progress on climate? NO! Our failed government endows fossil fuels, wants transmission grid in lieu of rooftop solar panels, bans affordable solar panels, turns a deaf ear to abusers.

Plant a garden and save the seed. Know who grows your local food and thank them. Give to your local food bank If you can. Our planet will sustain us with abundance if we will only learn nature's laws and practice them as if our lives depended on them.

The monetary system will never be able to expediently resolve systemic issues - the root culprit of unsustainable growth. Chaos & climate crisis will ensue until resources are sensibly & equitably managed. 'Scarcity' & paywalls are the catalyst of global catastrophe. - AA
