Now is a time when Americans have trouble. Livelihoods and hope are under threat and in danger.
In history, Revolutions have happened when the people live in fear and privation
The United States of America today has an armed population who feel frustrated about their conditions.
While they are restive now, the GOP has systematically directed their anger and fear toward a series of absurdities like immigration - whether or immigrants are here legally or illegally - Trans children, Critical Race Theory, Libtards, and so forth.
The armed malcontents have demonstrated and continue to demonstrate their collective will to commit violence.
At some point, the armed malcontents will target the groups, which actually create their privation and stoke their fears: some billionaires, some corporations and some policy makers who serve those billionaires and corporations.
The resulting violence will hurt those people and others who may or may not be guilty.
I think it is likely that violence in historical actions happened because the rich people refused to ameliorate conditions for the people.
The United States of America may be able to prevent violence by acting decisively.
However, that requires rich people to allow the people to have hope and sustenance, specifically in these areas:
Free medical care; INCLUDING A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE.
Free education at all levels, perhaps even a stipend to active students;
Forgiveness of all student loans;
Free childcare;
Guaranteed minimum income at a living wage level;
Free transportation;
High speed rail, repair bridges and roads;
Sufficient Social Security.
In addition, any other service or product which affects many citizens.
CRITICAL - ensure the Rule of Law continues....
This idea is already working successfully in several countries.
Taxing rich people to pay for these services will take a small share of their wealth and incomes; and, surprisingly, they will make even more money when the people have enough money to buy things.
It is a stark choice.
