I'm reading some Batman comics. I don't know about any of you but I will probably always hear Kevin Conroy's voice in my head when I read them. The Animated Series and Arkham games had that much impact on me.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.
