High wages for the top 1% of earners... Your minimum wage is a fucking joke

Good health care for those that can afford it... The rest die with medical debt, hence the chart above.

All your food is garbage. When I travel there I find it almost impossible to eat well without just going to the grocery store and living on fresh produce. It's disgusting.

The things you listed are only available to the well off.

"Keep warming under 1.5c"...

Yea, we crossed that threshold already. Right now were on track for warming of 5c, and we refuse to endure any pain switching off fossil fuel.

That time long sailed. If we dealt with emissions are Al Gore showed us the hockey stick we coulda done this without pain.

Now, its too late. We have to drastically cut and that means giving things up. We need carbon taxes, gas taxes and extreme taxes on anything emission based.
