Opinion | It's Time to Stop Living the American Scam

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : In the past few decades, capitalism has exponentially increased the creation of wealth for the already incredibly wealthy at the negligible expense of the well-being, dignity and happiness of most of humanity, plus the nominal cost of a mass extinction and the destruction of the biosphere -- like cutting out the inefficient business of digestion and metabolism by pouring a fine bottle of wine directly into the toilet, thereby eliminating the middleman of you.
48% : We are currently experiencing the civilizational equivalent of that anxiety you feel when you have something due the next day that you haven't even started thinking about and yet still you sit there, helplessly watching whole seasons of mediocre TV or compulsively clicking through quintillions of memes even as your brain screams at you -- the same way we scream at our politicians about guns and abortion and climate change -- to do something.
43% : A new generation has grown to adulthood that's never known capitalism as a functioning economic system.
