9. Not just farmers suffering under this misguided sociopath and his kakistocracy.

I did some shopping this weekend and was HORRIFIED to see the price of 93% lean hamburger was $11.99/lb. Seriously.

There is nothing, nothing, nothing good about this stupid war. Women and children are dying, our military has shot off most of the MICs death toys, and our soldiers, marines, air force people and sailors DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH FOOD.

In a surreal 'be careful what you ask for' we see that the Trump administration has decided to bring back firing squads. And when I talk to younger people, the word 'guillotine' is coming up pretty often. We need to tear down this corrupt, gridlocked and ineffective government and build something out of the ashes that is block-chained so anybody can audit it at any time, and all transactions are transparent.

We must get rid of citizens united, change the rules of corporate governance, impose term limits, pack the supreme court, raise taxes on corporations (do you know they are only contributing 4% of the government's tax revenue while individual working schmucks like us are paying in over 50%?), tax billionaires out of existance and really start building community.

We need to change our hearts and minds to the idea we should be 'good ancestors.' This is my son's mantra, and his voice mixes with voices from many tribal elders and shamans who are saying the consequences of our decisions should be considered seven generations out. Good policy, good ancestors.

Wall Street/Billionaires/Trump - crummy policy, bad ancestors!
