I do believe the biggest impact would come from regulating large companies and billionaires, but it’s not one or the other.

Public transport and bikes to avoid overusage of cars. Many people seem to make a big deal out of this but to me it seems reasonably simple.

This isn't really an option in the US. The fossil fuel and car industries colluded heavily to kill or limit public transit options through the country. Same with bike friendly infrastructure. We really do have to break up all the big corporations and tax, imprison, or eliminate the billionaires and multi multi millionaires to force them to change their behaviors.

If only we could all rely on each other n our communities ( to share food and water ) , n if we could all go on a massive strike / protest all at once ... Maybe then we could get the government to listen to us... But that ain't happening... We're all too divided to act as one

And now with mass surveillance and AI; I figure we really don't stand a chance when 🪧 protesting...

I've no hope that things will get better... For Us or Them (other countries)... Global inequality is growing each year quickly
