Yes, we need to
change our environment: and we, as the collective society known as America, who elects our government to do our wishes, can
choose to do that. In America we control our own destiny. We can
choose to make basic food and basic shelter a given: affordable via a minimum wage that is livable. We can
choose that health care will never be a concern for any of us, it's a given.
If your food, shelter and healthcare are a given, that will never be unavailable to you, or out of financial reach - imagine the freedom from worry, the enabling that's available for you to soar - to study, learn, create, make a business, enjoy your family, etc. To
enjoy living a life.
Why don't we, America,
choose to make this our societal norm? It's crazy!
