in L. A., 6 years ago, I was paying $800 a month for a studio apt; a very small studio at that. Rep. Katie Porter was my favorite. she was probably the lesser known one on the list but she broke down the real life, day-to-day reality of average americans right in the face of those privileged, elitist bankers.
the entire video was really inspiring... UNTIL you snap back to reality and understand ALL the great pleas and speeches in the world WON'T change anything. only WE, THE PEOPLE, can have an effect in changing the disastrous direction the elite have pushed our global society over the last 50-70 years or so. if WE don't change and start taking a hands-on, PROACTIVE interest in changing our world for the better - IT JUST AIN'T GONNA BE DONE! writing pointless comments on-line, ALONE, won't cut it! STOP talking and START ACTING! (and YES, I am following my own advice!)

@madelinecarper1485 … good for you. you're family is fortunate to have you. you know another word for "fortunate" is "lucky." but they carry slightly different connotations. all middle and lower class families are struggling and stressed. some less so than others. so, I think its important that people recognize just how much of their fortunate circumstances is attributed to luck.
you will rarely hear the elite admit just how much of their fortunes are the result of luck. they perpetuate the lie that they, the elite, earn their wealth and the poor deserve their poverty. but nothing is further from the truth. "hard work" DOESN'T create wealth. if it did 90% of the poor would be wealthy since 90% of the poor have jobs, often 2, and work just as hard as the elite.
no, the wealthy are wealthy because of luck and the poor are poor because of a lack of luck. and its the social structure, more than anything, that determines just who'll be lucky and who'll be unlucky.
so good luck to you and your family my friend. the best advice I can give to anyone is - QUESTION everything, don't take anything for GRANTED and remember, if you want a better world YOU must be pro-active. it CAN'T be achieved WITHOUT YOU! YOU must live the change you want in the world.

i agree. its call "authoritarianism." they believe in strong centralized control of society by either a single person or an elitist heirachy. we're already ruled by a corrupt ruling elite so we already live in a BIG-GOVT, fascist, authoritarian police-state that both maga and woke advocate, defend and want to give more power to. they just differ on who that elite should favor - woke or maga.
"mein kampf" has nothing on this maga monstrosity. but woke isn't offering anything much better, and in some ways, even worse. they both want to strengthen the corporate police-state to enforce their will on ALL SOCIETY! they both violate women's rights, denounce science and reject observable reality in favor of absurdities, lies and insanity so extreme and ridiculous it boggles the mind. both sides want absolute control over our schools and demonize common ground, common sense and common decency. both sides are fascist, intolerant and full of hate and will violate ALL ethics in the name of their fascist agendas. maga or woke - WHICHEVER SIDE WINS WE ALL LOSE!
and, of course as usual, my comment will be ignored BY EVERYONE! IF its allowed to even be posted. or, i''l be attacked by everyone on BOTH SIDES! go figure.

@teresaboze69 …. that's well said. but buddha, like Socrates and Jesus after him, had another message; - suffering is the result of envy, greed, materialism and DESIRE! I think all these great people may have concluded, QUITE CORRECTLY, that ignorance is derived from desire! or vice versa.
for the life of me, I can't figure out why, WE AS A SPECIES, continue to ignore these truly wise and insightful people and, instead, choose to follow the elite; the most ignorant, greedy, envious, materialistic and desirous among us?! why do we continue to follow the WORST humanity has to offer?
well, NOT ME! I know better. I learn from humanity's 6000 years of mistakes and have chosen to adhere to the obviously superior advise of the WISE and INSIGHTFUL rather than the FOOLISH AND STUPID!
