The #1 Issue We Face Today is That The Systems That Govern Our Lives Are Completely Corrupted.
Our systems no longer work for the people. We need to put all of our other issues aside and work together on this one line item. All parties. All people. Here's how:
Imagine if you had a badass computer system that was the best on Earth for the past 250 or so years. But then slowly over time hackers started breaking through the firewalls in concert, corrupting the very core of the system, adding viruses for good measure. And instead of trying to fix the system and prevent future hackers, you instead decided to argue about what programs and apps would run better on the hacked system.
That’s where we are right now in America.
Our system has been corrupted. The representatives in office no longer have the best interests of the people in mind. But instead of working together and focusing our attention on fixing the system and getting it back to working for the people, we instead are hyper-focused on the programs running inside the system. This is a futile exercise.
Our biggest issue is not inflation. It isn’t war. It isn’t abortion, or pandemics, or guns, or anything else. Just like the computer, until we fix the actual system, nothing else matters.
Nothing…
Because until we fix the system politicians will keep telling us one thing and doing another. Feeding us just enough rhetoric to get elected while selling us out to the highest bidders behind closed doors.
So let’s pretend for a moment that everyone in America is on board with this - as they should be. We should all want the systems that govern over our lives to help lead us to the best society possible. So if we all agree to set aside our differences and work on fixing this one thing… then what’s next? What’s the plan?
In case you missed it, check this plan out as a starting point.

As always the entire purpose of this is to connect with other solutions-minded people like yourself! For 4 billion years on this planet there were only single-celled organisms. Then one day they somehow learned to work together and make complex multi-celled creatures like you and me. Right now we are like those single-celled organisms. Our next evolution is finding how to work together, better.

Perhaps it's the chess player in me, but I can't help but look further down the line after this hypothetical solution is achieved...what prevents infiltration from corrupting an authentic burgeoning movement? A decentralized template can be constructed and put into practice, but if effectively infiltrated, all progress thereafter will be tarnished.
I suppose what I'm looking for is a litmus test of sorts. Outing sociopaths and selfish intentions is the key I see to effectively cutting to the root of the problem. At the same time, exclusion and a two-tiered society isn't a cool thing to pursue. So how will that pathogenic behavior (given it's inevitability) exist in this sort of future system?
I love the idea .....the problem is getting enough support. There is an entrenched group that has control of the corporate media .....and they don’t want to fix anything because they benefit from the corruption(power and money illicitly obtained). It will take a lot for them to give it up.
