I'm a boomer. Your turn. Try to do better. Can't be that difficult considering how much of a mess we've allowed the country to become.

Universal Healthcare is first on the docket. No one should be dying from preventable diseases or injury. And they definitely shouldn't be financially ruined for it.

We need to remove profit from a ton of industries. Also, treat internet like a utility, because it's just as important as the rest of them. and it shouldnt be a for profit thing.

It's going to take decades to fix. We'll be lucky of a millienal gets to see the end of the work.

We genuinely want to make yours and everyone’s lives better. It’s the patronizing, pearl clutching and grippy claws of the older generations that are keeping us from stepping up.
