10 million people occupying the streets of every street in every city in the country for days, weeks, months, until the entire economy collapses. It is actually the least chaotic and least violent way out of this mess.
Typically that would never happen, but if DOGE manages to really destroy social security payments, I would be willing to bet that of the 67 million recipients who can no longer afford food - some would be happy to camp in the nearby street for some of that yummy food that they have there... More plausible now that the weather in the US is starting to warm up now.
I just feel like there's a lot of "You hate every piece of capitalism, but you won't connect the dots to see they're all coming from the same source." It won't be enough to restore social security payments if we still have billionaires just walking around, or we keep this broken two-party system that also empowers less populated areas. Just to name two issues off the top of my head.
We need larger, structural, changes.
But I guess everything starts somewhere.
