I've kinda had it with all of the BS

283. The only answer I keep returning to is asking people not be part of the problem.

And instead, start procuring a legacy of compassion and good works. One of working to leave the world better for their existence, not just another brick on the backs of those who come after.
Corporations with the invaluable help of shareholders and Wall St workers have spent years crafting an "American Dream" for themselves and those welcomed into it. Where else can you join hands with the wealthiest in the world and profit from the expansion and denial of climate change, assist in crushing third world workers for an extra buck and claim "If I were alive then, I would have stood with Dr. King.", line your pockets with the blood of victims of wars of choice and resource security, knowing that every dollar held in those markets is helping assure nothing will ever change and guaranteeing things will get worse. These small things are just the tip of the iceberg of course. One can dig into the toppling of leaders, death squads, rampant destruction of the oceans, public education & the free press. Anything touched by the hand of Wall St only becomes worse in the long run.
Pretty heavy stuff when you think about it. That kind of knowledge can be a bummer. Especially for those who have inherited wealth or depend on the funds from that suffering. One likes to think of their ancestors as benevolent and charitable and dealing with the knowledge of where that trust fund originated and the works it accomplished for them and yourself as you sleep would be harsh if forced to view the information as we do. Best to keep that stuff in the realm of alternative journalism. Instead they just absorb reality from corporate approved sources that whitewash away the suffering and focus on keeping the ants engaged, happy and productive.
The entire planet is now feeling the effects of that rampant resource exploitation. Of the works of our fathers. Of the past dreams of the captains & heroes of industry. It is dying. Every animal on the face of the earth, every tree, every flower is suffering. That suffering will soon be shifting into higher gear and the only answer coming from those in bed with corporations is here is more of my money to help you quell any dissent and procure me a hefty return on my loan.
But hey, I'll donate a few of those bucks to the Sierra Club and vote D, were good.
