This community usually discusses consumer rights, but nobody is discussing this initiative. Is it maybe cuz Lemmy’s majority ain’t American?

Im actually fine with “just do something” mentality.
Cause if every person did to the limit of what they are capable of things would still change.
For Rossman the limit of what he is capable of might be changing laws via his followers so he can keep his repair shop running. For others it might be legal efforts. For some it could be talking directly to their parents who are the wealthy overlords, and for some it might mean running themselves. And for some its just beinf oart of a chorus that shouts what they believe in.
It has worked for religion for so long.
We are a numbers species. We arent as clever as we think and individuals actually rarely get anything singularly done themselves. But we cant stop at whats easy but what is within our reach.
If everyone “did what they can” to make the world a better place, we just might have a shot at it.
And we only have power when we act in numbers towards a focused goal.
This is why we (should) have (more) Unions instead of just “Negotiate for yourself and everyone will benefit”. And that, inherently, needs leaders who know how to work towards a shared purpose.
Everyone should work towards making the world a better place. But we also need to understand what we are actually working towards and what those “somethings” actually can accomplish.
Yeah. Agreed but chicken or the egg right?
Uts easy to say we just need the unions and groups but we need to build them by people just starting.
We definitely need to pick people to leas us better and not pazily accept people saying they are the right personto lead simply because they are.
It helps when we have a shared idea of what better is.
