I am 74 years old so I will not live to see the worst of climate change. I keep remembering Dylan's line from Masters of War: Fear to bring children into the world. I mourn the young people who will experience the brunt of our attack on the environment and the malevolent short sightedness of those who profit from it.

I'm not big on the internet like that so take what I say with a grain of salt, BUT if you can remember to like and subscribe every single video you watch. If you're already subscribed just keep liking it. I started to do this a couple of months back and now my five closest friends will have the same videos that circulate on my phone on their phone. I only noticed that because one of my non-political friends had something from a news organization that I watch. The more people like senator White House can grow his subscribers and thumbs up, the more the algorithm kicks in "put it on more people's phones"," this seems interesting". It's creepy but for me that's my experience.

We need a law that can reverse Citizen United for one. Lobbying and Lobbyists need to be managed. Reason we can't get any climate legation passed? Coal oil and gas have these congressional members' members in a vise if you get my meaning. Same with responsible federal gun regulation. Our Government was not set up to be an plutocracy which is a form of an oligarchy. An oligarchy, for those who don't know, is where a small group of people basically run things and in a plutocracy that small group are all wealthy and use their money to rule said country. Money talks and as long as there's a revolving door of money and especially dark money, nothing that's actually good for the common man or the majority of the country will ever get done.

🤔 From what I understand, from his 25 minute video, is that we Americans have the power to vote against sitting US Senators & US House of Representatives. Remove them. Then we must immediately push to have limited terms for Senate, House & Chamber. This will make it harder for foreign countries to control our government.

I've been intending to watch these when Senator Whitehouse made the switch from his "Time to Wake Up" discussions. It just has felt all to heavy for the past year. I'm ready now. We all need to work together to share and elevate his material. I'm not on any social media platforms having deleted my facebook and twitter accounts in 2016. I can hit the thumbs up. He won't be promoting his work in the way that many have done. I imagine it would be against his sense of integrity to do so. As many of us who know about this work and can need to do that for all of our sakes because that is why he does what he does ... for all of our sakes.
