5. Greedflation...

love of money is devastating to everything and everyone around. And you can't even blame it on the "love" of money. Amassing as much money and things as one can is an addiction... just like a drug addiction... only in a lot of ways, a lot more hurtful to more people.

Getting rid of trump and everyone he's placed in any and all departments, cabinets, etc., is absolutely of prime importance for the sanity and recovery of the U.S. and the world. But equally as important is a rethink of our laws and social contracts (with enforcement mechanisms). People, no matter who they are, should have a MAX wage (or income level), rather than a minimum wage. Cut out the billionaires, millionaires, and (now) trillionaires. Pass that excess money around in social programs that benefit everyone in the country. Everything from libraries to subsidies on groceries, meds, etc. We're gonna have SO much work to do once we regain this country... I seriously doubt I'll be here to see it to the end, but I wish I could experience the renaissance that comes after these black days of the new Dark Ages.
