It needs a concentrated effort by everyone to recycle, reuse, revamp. Building should be strict, adhering to solar orientation, insulated by non toxic means, planting trees with protection and maintaining forests.

Well done. We need a system change. Our two-party political system is owned by the hedge fund billionaires. Look at all the billionaires in key positions in the executive branch. They write the laws and regulations to loot the treasury. it’s capitalism based on legal graft. Capitalism only works when laws are fair.
And now we have in your face cruelty by ICE and a Department of War that says “Kill Them All”. And where is the outrage by our elected representatives, they are huddled in their offices plotting how they can keep their party in power.
Thanks for documenting the need for a radical system change. I’m more hopeful than ever that decency and humanity will win out. As long as each of us carries our own load, we can continue the fight the good fight and create a more perfect union.
#HostLife - The people have been turned into "hosts" (a food source - rent payers) for the 1% parasites (leeches - rent collectors) by the re-establishment of the "West Virginia Coal Mine Experience"™ (circa 1900). See Earned Vs. Unearned income
By incrementally monopolizing necessities (food, water, shelter, utilities, medicine, even information), by debt expansion, and by wage suppression: we now work in their company "mines" (cube farms, whatever), live in their company housing (mortgage), shop in their company store (credit card debt), pay MONOPOLY prices for basic necessities.
Literally, cradle to grave slavery to a small collection of "Nanny" Transnational Corporations (all owned at the top by a handful of investors)
The concentration of wealth and political power in a few predatory, exploitative hands is an old story - one our founders sought to rewrite.
Still, it’s shocking to see the devastating resurgence of this model since the mid-1970s, when wealth inequality in the United States was at historic lows, and empowering and expanding a strong middle class with education and opportunity were broadly accepted political goals.
With wealth and power so concentrated and destructively deployed in 2025, it’s hard to see a positive outcome without returning significant wealth and power to a broader segment of the population. That means anti-monopoly and anti-corruption laws that are enforced and taxing wealth - two elements of a well-functioning society MAGA operatives and funders hate most.
Another outcome history shows us: tyranny leading to revolution.
It isn’t just the laws that need revamped.

We.Can.Do.This.
Excellent documentary.
Where can I find the transcript of this essay? I prefer reading Geddry over watching her words recited in a video.

Please, please dump the background music! It is not only annoying, but also keeps me from hearing what she's trying to say.
I prefer my daily Geddry in print from source. I don’t think further enhancements are needed

Well done, and terrifying.

Thank you. Please keep it up...
