So people weigh in.

The way I see it we have a cluster of related problems and money is probably at the center of most of them.

Where do we start? Nukes and global warming seem like the greatest existential threats, but income inequality is right up there too
cuz the concentration of wealth/power in few hands is what prevents us from dealing with nukes & global warming.

So my question is this: what hill do we take first? What victory would do most to multiply changes?

There's no one answer, but let's talk it out! 🙂
Probably the big question for me is how do we change things so that more people have a voice?

The way I put it is this: Their corruption is worse than our stupid. Despite the fact that we're gullible and dumb we actually have better ideas as a group than oligarchs enact.
But oligarchs have managed to secure advantages which prevent the better ideas of multitude from reorganizing society.

The advantage gets maintained at the level of law through bad legal reasoning.
Corporate Personhood, Citizens United, and similar legal fictions
Have been instrumental in swinging our system around to the point where it is increasingly controlled by money. Money perverts the law and the electoral process by which the system might be changed, through gerrymanders, voter suppression, fraud, etc.

Again: strike where 1st?
