Standing on the brink of nuclear war. Mass shootings daily. Structural inequality. Wildly unfair legal and tax systems… The willful ignorance, misinformation, and inaction around climate change is the least of it. Imagine life is a board game and you’re explaining the rules, the exceptions for the rich and powerful, the risks to watch out for. For god’s sake. We tax people who make minimum wage while billionaires and their corporations somehow pay no tax. Tell me with a straight face that’s fair. And the tax we do collect we spend on bullshit that doesn’t help anyone, certainly not the people who need it. Our government agencies don’t even work. I’ve got a friend who applied for asylum years ago. A judgment could be made in an hour and she’s in limbo for close to a decade. I waited in line at the DMV for 3 hours the other day. And yet we can afford the f35 boondoggle. Is the F35 making the world better? Definitively not. Can we even talk about that calmly? Nope. This world we’ve created is wildly unfair and unsafe. If I were forced to tally up all the good and bad. Really, honestly. I’m not convinced the scales of justice would tilt in our favor.
