The planet does not need more "successful people." The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of all kinds.

"#Money can't buy happiness" means "the mindless accumulation of excess wealth ultimately leads to diminishing returns on #happiness."

It does not mean "poor people should learn to be content without basic #necessities or #financial security."

While you were so worried Socialism would take your freedoms, Capitalism stole your pension, took your savings, sent your jobs overseas, robbed you of health care, dismantled the educational system, and put you in debt, leaving you only your sexism, racism, xenophobia, hate, and guns. 100

Spooky Trans Mischief:

Somewhere along the way, companies convinced the population that a job was a favor to them and workers were beholden bc of it.
No.
A job is you selling them your time and effort. If they can't afford it or won't pay what you need, they can fuck off.
Cultivate that attitude

It's almost as if we know exactly what to do to address every single problem facing our country and our world, but we actively refuse to do it because it might require the richest and most powerful people to not have a fifth vacation mansion.

There is no 'teacher shortage'.

There are thousands of qualified experiences teachers who are no longer teaching. There's a shortage of respect and proper compensation for teachers allowing them to actually teach.
