15. I've sworn for years now

That the majority of us are suffering PTSD. When things finally settle down we should either be remunerated for our suffering or offered free -PTSD therapy including free counseling, meds, and service animals where applicable. I think that's the least the institutions of government owe for failing us so badly.
Many of us won't live long enough to see even our democracy and rights regained, I'm afraid.
