That won't help at all until we amend grassroots bigotry, hatred, hierarchy and caste. There's no hope of a better future otherwise. The US is doomed unless it urgently crushes today's Confederates much harder than it crushed their heroes 160 years ago.

Boeing has a carbon emissions problem. Startup Charm Industrial is cleaning up.

Ask yourself who makes this possible. It's not the richest themselves. It's the far bigger group, the most bigoted. They form the entire GOP electorate as well as the more right-wing Democratic voters.
Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.
