Kendrick Lamar would make an incredible US Senator.

Everyday people are closer to becoming homeless than we are to being a billionaire.
Billionaires shouldn’t control the news, our politics, or the obscene amounts of wealth they do in this cost of living crisis.
Together we can make them pay up so everyone has what they need for a good life.

Americans do not understand the incredible crisis consuming all components of their government at once. Thousands of jobs lost, projects on hold, desks unmanned, services stopped, basic safety neglected. Total chaos. Stuff is going to start breaking down, maybe catastrophically.
