Capitalism pays people top dollar to put on a badge and oppress their neighbors. What if instead of safeguarding inequality we prioritized protecting people from the ClimateCrisis. That’s what the American Climate Corps aims to do. What if instead of coercing citizens to become slave catchers to fill the prison-industrial complex we funded opportunity, paid teachers more, and started an #UBI to reduce the inequality and desperation that leads to crime. What if we put more money into prevention, rather than punishment, into mental health and fighting fires, into healthcare rather than driving people into bankruptcy. What if we guaranteed housing, took the speculation market out of living, so we didn’t have to force people onto the streets.
