I saw this on the news and thought what the hell, as an Aussie I worry about how the average American is coping as the cost of stuff goes up and up and the President talks rubbish and alienates much of the world

I seem to be the only auspice on Substack looking for what we-the-people can do to end run around a government that doesn't serve us. We aren't even trying, with everyone's focus on how awful it is and some on how a utopian world would look, but no one is dealing with how to get from here to there in any timely fashion commensurate with how overshoot is becoming more dangerous to us every day. Here's a recent post with a cut-to-the-chase summary of what I've been rabble rousing for during my past two years here:

I also can't choose one thing. Something you didn't mention in your list is the big bill's wholesale selling of our public lands. I'm trying to remember to breathe...

Roger ... you're so right. I thought about that at the end but Substack only allows 5 and I couldn't figure out which to take out. What a time!

Its impossible for me to choose one things as they are all related to the whims of Trump. Social Security affects me personally. Money is the common thread among all these issues. Trump's growing his fortune by damaging people and the planet. Congress is worried about themselves financially and what Trump may inflict upon them and their families. They are not doing their job.

I agree, I can't pick just one thing. I feel so strong about all of these subjects.
