The way the US has designed and built communities based around the car is greed. It was helped by the auto industry and the oil industry who profited from a focus being placed on designing everything with the idea that you have to have a vehicle to live life. The idea is that you have to have a vehicle to get to work and other places you need to go.

If public transit were at the center of designing communities they would be liveable. If walking and bike riding were included in these designs people would be healthier. A bike lane is not a line painted on the road but a separate space for bicycle traffic that is protected from vehicles.

Stop designing everything based on cars and trucks.

There should be health care in this country instead of health insurance.

Health care could be provided for everyone with the money given to health insurance companies.

Tax money goes to these companies. People pay to have insurance provided by these companies. People pay deductibles to these companies. These are greedy corporations that make so much money.

Corporations supported by tax money are seen as good but helping people with tax money is seen as bad?

Stop supporting greedy corporations and start supporting people.

Religion. Religion should help people. Religion should make the lives of people better. Religion should end hunger and homelessness. Religion should take care of the needy.

Currently, religion divides. Religion makes a few people rich. These people stand in fancy buildings and ask people to give them money claiming they are giving to God. God never sees that money. God does not need that money.

Stop giving money to religion and use that money to help people.

Inflation is a fancy word for greed.

I did not feel like going anywhere today.

I plan to go to a few places tomorrow.

I’m indifferent to the currents,

times moving me forward uncertain,

hurting from the wounds of life

no one can see me or my misery,

walking through this world invisible

I find a path of least resistance,

such distance between me

and the life of my dreams,
