11. That's way too vague, we need a clearly defined list of demands.

We should at least be demanding the seven basics. Nutritious food, clean water, healthcare, education, housing, a job and internet access. Universal access. It’s absurd that in the richest country in the world we can’t have these very basic necessities that everyone needs to have a decent life. A right to rest and enjoy things other than work should be part of it. No one should have to work two or three jobs just to survive.

We need to think bigger. We need to end this ridiculous mentality that the individual is more important than the community. That wealth hoarding and undercutting people is something to be admired. Corporate and personal greed needs to end.

You ask nicely, you demand and then you kick the fucking door down when they keep ignoring you.

That’s what we should be doing.
