Universities with multibillion dollar endowments withholding livable wages from their own grad students; Studio executives who make hundreds of millions of dollars a year resisting giving livable wages to their writers; A third of Americans living economically unstable lives; 1 million homeless children in America’s public schools; A higher poverty rate in the United States by far than in any other advanced democracy —- The sooner we collectively recognize that something has gone too far, that the system as it is is not working, the sooner we will collectively rise to the challenge of embracing and fostering fundamental change.

It’s madness. A lot of those admin and executives just shuffle paper and gate keep while being protected by a legion of toxic middle managers who are just titled bureaucrats that produce nothing. This era of industrial organization needs to end. Newtonian to quantum.

Skimming industries (off the top of the sector) drastically diminishes their generating potential! It's a real shame we do not have #redtape for the injustices that wouldn't harm industry standards forthright! #Regulate #SinTax #BullMarket
1) we aren't a fucking democracy 2) "collectively" aka communist 3) it's not the federal government's responsibility nor is it capable of addressing ANY of your list.
