10. It’s time to recognise how deeply weird this is, reserve our votes for people who give us what we want, and stop subscribing to media outlets that lie on behalf of oligarchs.

At the root of all our problems stands one travesty: politicians’ surrender to the super-rich | George Monbiot

We want everyone to wake up feeling good about life. Just look at Stan Wawrinka today, winning GS tennis matches at nearly age 41. Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson were still world class players in their 40s. We have cricket players in their 50s in Iceland who still believe.
