It's not bad enough yet for revolution
- We should wait until corporations are subsidized for sending jobs overseas.
- Wait until corporations have human rights above the citizens.
- Until politicians are owned by corporations because the corporations are the only entity wealthy enough to fund their campaigns.
- We wait for major environmental disasters that could have been avoided.
- Illegitimate wars for profit should be the spark.
- When the wealthy pay no taxes.
- When our infrastructure falls apart.
- Until most bankruptcies are due to health concerns.
- Wait until the states are bankrupt.
- Or when corporations find the cheapest slaves to do their work, minus any benefits.
- How about when seniors must decide between meds or food.

We must wait.

3. Violent revolution is uncomfortable, occasionally fatal, and rarely works
the way the people who support it hope it will work. My own hope is that I don't live to see one.

However, the timid Congress, now infested with lunatics on the far right, is going to make it inevitable.

4. I don't envision revolution from this
only misery to the point of acting out.
