Think about this.
There is not a single state or county in America today where a full-time worker making minimum wage can afford the rent for a two-bedroom home.

Canceling all student debt is not a radical idea.
Saddling 46 million Americans with $1.8 trillion in debt for the 'crime' of pursuing an education — now that's a radical idea.
Shell's facility that captures CO2 actually emits more than it is capturing. It has the same yearly carbon footprint as 1,2 million gas-powered cars.
This is exactly what happens when people in power care more about their reputation and imagery than to actually reduce emissions.
We're now 2 yrs into the decisive decade. Emissions should be in an unprecedented fall, instead we're seeing the 2nd biggest rise ever recorded. We're wasting invaluable time pretending we can solve this crisis without treating it like a crisis. World leaders are still in denial.

I don't know how I should describe this but here is my question;
