Thanks for putting this into a comprehensive essay. There isn't really a way to condense it into a 3 minute blurb, is there? (rhetorical) Two parts of this I especially want to commend: The otherwise ignored comparability between American farmers to Uyghurs and the distinction between "inflation" and price gouging (theft).
Democrats could easily make two exponential leaps by abandoning their attempts to shoot themselves in the foot with so-called 'gun control' (this is America: making guns are us) and by calling the Republicans' bluff and embracing the FairTax plan (most of the corruption in government is enabled by the ridiculous complexity of the income tax code) for a UBI and health based on sales taxes.
Almost every policy and deception is driven by the choices people make at the checkouts and the jobs they take. Knowing what labor is actually worth and what consumptionism actually costs at the decision point would go a long way to transforming human consciousness of resources and value.
