Others have made long lists. But really, it boils down to just one thing.

We need stop growing for growths sake, at the expense of literally everything else.

We are screwing up the environment, science, technology, education, childhood, health, work, art, communication, transportation, and everything else, just so number can go up.

Single payer, ending the Palestinian genocide, election integrity, dissolving the DNC and GOP, the entire government firing themselves and not running for re-election.

Climate change. On our current course, the best case scenario is famine, war, and a really shitty world for billions of people. The worst case scenario is self-perpetuating cycles that wipe out our civilization and maybe humanity.

It’d be cool if those didn’t happen.
