Crumbling infrastructure Housing as a spec investment increasingly bought up by private equity firms Widespread homelessness Lower life expectancy than our parents and grandparents Increased risk of death during childbirth Declining birth rate Underfunded education system Higher education so cost prohibitive that many people must take on unprecedented amounts of debt to have a CHANCE at being able to clothe/house/feed oneself The most expensive, least efficient, increasingly harder to access privatized healthcare system that puts profits over people Mass shootings on a regular basis Corporatization of everything including self Toxic individualism Political parties both captured by corporations who dictate policy decisions vs the will of the people Military industrial complex Consumerism Piss poor labor conditions Growing domestic terrorist threats People don’t see a future here
