Childcare. Etc. That's the problem.
That whole 'people need to stop this' thing I always hear about, like before WWII, the more I see, I'm like..how. People have been trying to avert this for years. I warned my parents before the first Trump election. Lots of people are too stupid or don't care. Companies control everything. You're fighting these huge faceless corporations with all the power.
But in a country built with slavery that still has so much racism.. It's a problem. Ignorant, angry, hateful folks. Sometimes your neighbors. Hell, we ran into a ton of nasty, rude people last night at a BALLET.
There are underground moments going. That's probably the only way. Stealth, clandestine meetings. Because the police are always out in force everywhere. And the surveillance. Everything is watched now. Will things get violent? Probably. I can see that.
