The Problem---
While Leaders spend billions on war machines (never mind killing people and polluting the ecosphere with the wastes of proxy wars and war games), natural ecosystems, economies, and societies continue to unravel.
1. FIVE banks now more or less have failed, not two. [Due primarily to massive unrealized losses in the Bond Market.]
2. Debt Bubbles continue to grow around the world. [Total Debt now is more than 3 times the world's GDP.]
3. The food crisis continues. Literally millions of people are starving, many of them children.
4. The U.N. has issued a final warning: eco-crises (especially climate change) are not being addressed at the proper scale to prevent catastrophe.
5. Extreme drought, extreme flooding in other areas, extreme storms, soil loss, deforestation, extreme temps, etc. all continue. Meanwhile, new permits are issued for more fossil fuel extraction.
6. Mass shootings are up, suicides are up, and the pandemic is still killing a few thousand people per week in the USA, which is more than in any other country in the world.
7. Confidence in both political Leaders and Banks is at a very low level.
8. Almost HALF the workers in the USA are either in poverty (12%) or on the brink of it (30%). Not quite, but almost everyone else is living paycheck-to-paycheck. Meanwhile, politicians claim our economy is "strong". Right...for the 20% or so in the upper tier.
9. The serial liar, Trump, is campaigning again in his normal style - whining. Talk about "Old News", he's it.
10. "Oil Man" Biden is showing his true colors with the Arctic Willow Project and Gulf leases.
11. Despots around the world, who sense a peaceful grass-roots uprising, are cracking down even more on populations.
12. Neoliberal propaganda still abides.
So my question is: when will people start demanding a different path???
[It's a rhetorical question.]
