Forced birth in a country with:
—An average of one mass shooting per day
—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations

Between abortion bans, multiple mass shootings on the 4th of July, and militarized police cracking down on protestors, there isn't very much freedom in America, is there?
What does it tell you when a white man suspected of killing at least seven people during a 4th of July parade is arrested without incident, but an unarmed Black man is killed after being shot over 60 times by police during a traffic stop?
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
Pharma buys off Congress. No action on drug prices.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

"Green capitalism" doesn't mean capitalism is internalizing its environmental externalities and becoming "sustainable." It means economic sectors and investment linked to renewable energy, adaptation, or mitigation are new sites of accumulation, class conflict, and geopolitics.
