Household debt at a record high.
Student loan defaults at a record high.
Credit card debt at a near record high.
Meanwhile, corporate profits are the highest they’ve ever been.
CEOs are paid 325x more than their typical workers.
U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year.
It's unsustainable.

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time:
John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team.
(Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

Let me see if I've got this right. The team of lawyers who stole an election in Florida, and gave W the presidency, are now the Scotus team at the center of the GOP theft of our democracy.

It's critical to remember we have NO civics education in New Zealand. Ppl do not necessarily know how MMP works, how a coalition works, or how to best make their vote reflect their values

A 20yo who's having regular, open minded yarns with their local Green councillor (or now their local Green candidate) has suddenly a whole political world open to them that they didn't when the only person they talked about politics with, was his National-voting parents.
