all i can do is look at our country and let out a big sigh. what will it take for the US to better itself?
A meteor a big fucking meteor
You watched Don't Look Up? It will take more than a meteor.
That meteor was pretty fucking effective, though. Not one person on Earth ever voted for Meryl Streep's character again, I can assure you.
An event that simultaneously eliminates the love affair a majority of Americans have with capitalism followed by sufficient legislative representation to push for changes that benefit individuals and not corporations.
A constitutional convention forced by the military as part of the conclusion of a civil war.
Nuff said :). I hope that'll happen within our lifetime.
to borrow an old phrase: "it would take an act of congress"
