We the people should demand we deserve access to basic needs as a given right.

There are enough resources to provide basic needs, but governments poorly distribute them. In the 70s, the US chose to subsidize private developments and stopped funding the affordable housing scheme.

As people struggle to acheive basic needs and hold onto them, we turn to survival tactics. Collaboration has enabled humanity to make it this far, yet we've replaced collaboration with capital and expect the same outcomes. Capitalism's sociological impact compels us to act selfishly, but we are not naturally selfish.

The free market created more bureacracy and government than we've ever seen. For example, navigating insurance policies is a nightmare and Changing providers for anything is a struggle.

113 countries have universal healthcare - the US is the exception.
