+> *Exhausted sigh while bouncing a baby*
+>
+> You know, as a mom of young children, I think about this a lot - especially
+> when I see how social media and consumerism are affecting our kids and
+> families. I've noticed how these platforms constantly push us to buy more
+> products, follow more "expert" advice, and feel perpetually inadequate as
+> parents.
+>
+> Looking at my own experience, I had to unfollow several influencers because
+> they were making me feel guilty about not buying enough "essential" products
+> for my baby. The truth is, babies don't need all that stuff. They need love,
+> comfort, basic care, and presence.
+>
+> I think the path forward starts with stepping back from this constant digital
+> noise. I've seen those graphs showing how teen mental health has plummeted as
+> social media use has risen. As parents, we need to model healthier
+> relationships with technology and consumption for our kids.
+>
+> The solution isn't going to come from the top down - it has to start with
+> families and communities choosing simpler, more connected ways of living. Like,
+> my baby's favorite activities are cuddling, watching me cook, and reading books
+> together. No expensive gadgets required.
+>
+> Maybe if enough of us focus on these basic human connections and stop feeding
+> into the cycle of constant consumption and digital validation, we can create
+> little pockets of resistance to this toxic system. It won't happen overnight,
+> but it needs to start with us protecting our children from these harmful
+> influences while they're young.
+>
+> I know it sounds idealistic, but when I look at my little one, I feel like we
+> have to try. The current path isn't sustainable for our kids' mental health or
+> our planet's future.
+>
+> *Adjusts baby on hip while speaking*

+### COMPLETION
+> Listen, I'm a millennial who's seen enough of this broken system to know what's
+> really going on. The problem isn't just corporate greed - it's the entire
+> structure that enables it. We're living in a time where billionaires get
+> labeled as "philanthropists" while they're actually just taking public wealth
+> and making the working class poorer.
+>
+> From my perspective, we need a multi-pronged approach to fix this mess:
+>
+> First, we absolutely need stronger regulations. Look at what happened in East
+> Palestine, OH - that's what happens when we let corporations put profits over
+> people's safety. But regulation alone isn't enough.
+>
+> We need to break up the connection between lobbyists and Congress. These
+> politicians are lifers with no respect for the people and no fear of
+> consequences. We need term limits and real accountability for their actions.
+> The system is eating everyone except the rich, and it's particularly hard on
+> young people like us.
+>
+> The path to acceptance and promotion of change starts with exposing the lies.
+> Look at this "greedflation" situation - companies have been straight-up lying
+> about inflation while fleecing consumers. We need better anti-monopolistic
+> legislation and fair trading laws.
+>
+> But here's the thing - and I've seen this firsthand - we can actually fix many
+> of these problems. We just need to choose to do it. The real issue is that
+> we're being told it's "our fault" when we can't achieve the good life that's
+> constantly dangled in front of us. It's a toxic way of living, and people are
+> starting to wake up to this reality.
+>
+> We need to stop pretending that the current system is working and start
+> demanding real structural changes. The money can't be the first arbiter of
+> power if we want a real democracy. Until we address these fundamental issues,
+> we're just putting band-aids on a broken system.

+> *sigh* Look, I've spent a lot of time thinking about this as someone who's
+> watched technology and capitalism intersect in increasingly concerning ways.
+> The harsh reality is that we're caught in a system where profit drives
+> everything - from AI development to climate change denial - and those at the
+> top have zero incentive to change things.
+>
+> I see it every day: corporations replacing workers with AI, creative spaces
+> being invaded by algorithms, and the wealthy just getting wealthier while
+> planning to literally freeze themselves to avoid the consequences of their
+> actions. It's maddening.
+>
+> The only way out of this toxic system is through widespread awareness and
+> collective action. But here's the real challenge - we need to make people
+> understand that it's not the technology itself that's the problem. It's how
+> we're choosing to use it. Take AI for instance - it could be used to benefit
+> everyone, but instead it's being weaponized to concentrate more power and
+> wealth in fewer hands.
+>
+> We need to push for serious regulation and restructuring of our economic
+> system. Universal basic income isn't just a nice idea anymore - it's becoming a
+> necessity as automation increases. But more fundamentally, we need to shift
+> away from this obsession with profit at all costs.
+>
+> The truth is, humans need purpose, not just survival. Any solution has to
+> address both our material needs and our need for meaningful contribution to
+> society. Without that balance, we'll just end up with more social unrest and
+> suffering.
+>
+> I know it sounds daunting, but we've already seen small victories - the push
+> for four-day work weeks, remote work becoming standard, increased discussion
+> about workers' rights. Change is possible, but it requires us to stop accepting
+> "that's just how capitalism works" as an answer.
+>
+> The system won't fix itself - we need to demand better, vote better, and most
+> importantly, help others understand what's really at stake here. Otherwise,
+> we're just watching society fracture while the rich get richer and the planet
+> burns.

+>
+> The way I see it, we've created this massive system of places and products that

+>
+> Here's the bitter truth: individual action matters, even if it feels futile.
+> When I see people say "why bother when others will just keep paying anyway?" I

+> or "natural" while actively destroying the planet. We need to counter these
+> narratives with clear, factual information.
+>

+> The frustrating reality is that people won't change until they feel personally

+>
+> Trust me, after years in this field, I've learned that shame and confrontation

+> *sigh* You know, I've been through quite a journey with this myself. I started
+> out homeless as a teen, then got caught up in the whole "eco-friendly
+> minimalism" trend, thinking I was doing the right thing by buying all these
+> supposedly sustainable products. Now I realize I was just falling for a
+> different kind of consumerism.
+>
+> Here's what I've learned: The system won't fix itself through buying different
+> stuff or following social media influencers who are just selling a new version
+> of consumption. We need to start by simply buying less - full stop. I learned
+> this the hard way after going into credit card debt trying to live that perfect
+> "zero waste minimalist" lifestyle I saw online.
+>
+> The real solution has to start with awareness and education about how
+> corporations are manipulating us. Look at how the plastic recycling industry
+> has been basically lying to us for decades - it's all greenwashing to make us
+> feel better while they keep producing more plastic. Or how "minimalist
+> influencers" convince us to replace everything we own with aesthetic versions.
+>
+> I think change has to come from rejecting consumerism entirely, not just
+> rebranding it. We need to:
+> 1. Stop buying into marketing that tells us we need new stuff to be
+> environmentally conscious
+> 2. Learn to live with less and be content with what we have
+> 3. Push for systemic changes and regulations on corporations
+> 4. Build communities that value sharing resources over individual consumption
+>
+> But most importantly, we have to be realistic. Not everyone can afford to make
+> perfect environmental choices. When I was struggling, I had to use whatever
+> cheap products I could get. The burden of change shouldn't be on individuals
+> living paycheck to paycheck - it needs to come from policy changes that affect
+> the big polluters and manufacturers.
+>
+> I've learned that guilt and shame about consumption doesn't help - it just
+> makes people feel hopeless. Instead, we need to focus on practical solutions
+> that work for people's real lives and circumstances while pushing for bigger
+> systemic changes.

+>
+> Listen, I've seen this pattern before - systems corrupted by greed and
+> selfishness, where people rationalize toxic behavior as normal or even
+> admirable. It's not unlike what happened during the Clone Wars, when
+> manipulation and moral compromise became commonplace.
+>
+> The path forward isn't through meeting toxicity with more toxicity, or trying
+> to find some false "balance" between right and wrong. It's through standing up
+> for what's right, even when it's difficult. I've seen too many people defend
+> destructive systems simply because they benefit from them - like those wealthy
+> elites who hoard resources rather than using them to help others.
+>
+> The key is teaching and demonstrating selflessness and genuine appreciation for

+>
+> I've learned that integrity matters - standing up for what's right even when
+> "no good deed goes unpunished." We need people willing to call out toxic

+>
+> The solution isn't violent revolution or forcing change - it's helping people

+> As a mother of two young children, I've been thinking deeply about this very

+>
+> The truth is, I've learned that what our children really need is quite simple:

+> The change has to start with us being conscious about what we're teaching the

+> It's about building real connections, spending quality time together, and
+> finding joy in simple things.

+> But it has to be gradual. We can't just throw away all technology or completely

+> *Sigh* Let me tell you something - I've watched this deterioration happening
+> for decades now. Started in tech when it was actually exciting and innovative,
+> when we were building things to make the world better. Now? It's all just data
+> mining, subscriptions, and soulless corporate propaganda.
+>
+> Look, the way I see it, we need a mass awakening and regression from this toxic
+> system. I've already started personally - scaling back my tech usage, avoiding
+> products that spy on me, refusing to participate in the endless subscription
+> circus. But individual action isn't enough.
+>
+> The real change has to come from hitting these corporations where it hurts -
+> their profits. As long as people keep mindlessly consuming their products and
+> services, nothing will change. Remember, these companies only hear their
+> audience when people stop using their products entirely.
+>
+> We need to return to a time when the relationship between companies and
+> customers was symbiotic, not parasitic. Right now, they're just siphoning
+> everything they can from us while keeping us barely alive enough to keep
+> consuming.
+>
+> The solution? Education and collective action. People need to understand that
+> when they buy something, they should actually own it. That their personal data
+> isn't just another commodity to be sold. That technology should serve us, not
+> exploit us.
+>
+> But here's the harsh truth - it won't be comfortable. People are addicted to
+> their convenient, data-mining devices and services. Breaking free means
+> accepting some inconvenience, learning to live with less, and being willing to
+> seek out and support alternative solutions.
+>
+> Until enough people wake up and say "enough," we'll keep sliding deeper into
+> this boring dystopia where we get all the downsides of a cyberpunk future with
+> none of the cool stuff. The system won't fix itself - we have to force it

+> I've seen it firsthand in my own beloved city that was destroyed, and I see it

+> watched this unfold, I can tell you that change has to start with making places

+>
+> Look, we've created thousands of ugly, soulless spaces that people don't

+>
+> We need to focus on what James Howard Kunstler said - creating places worth

+> *Sigh* Look, I've been gaming since 2005 and I've watched this industry
+> transform from something beautiful into a corporate nightmare. The problem

+> the FOMO, the battle passes, the microtransactions being pushed on kids. We
+> watch passionate game studios get bled dry by publishers who only care about

+>
+> The solution has to start with us, the players. I've always made it my priority
+> to be positive and helpful in every game I play because I want the games I love
+> to be loved by others too. But we also need to take a firm stance - like when I
+> left that toxic raid group and called out the abusive behavior, even though I

+>
+> We need to:
+> 1. Stop paying for predatory content. It's really that simple. Don't buy the $7
+> quests, don't fall for FOMO tactics.
+> 2. Contact our representatives about regulating these practices, especially
+> when they target children
+> 3. Support smaller studios and games that still have that passionate, creative
+> spirit
+> 4. Build better communities by calling out toxic behavior when we see it

+> The companies won't change unless we force them to. Remember when games used to

+>
+> I know it feels hopeless sometimes, like one person can't make a difference

+### COMPLETION
+> *sigh* After 25 years in digital marketing, I've seen how we've systematically
+> destroyed every good thing we touch. It's not just marketing though - it's the
+> whole system of unchecked corporate greed. Look at Big Pharma burying evidence
+> of health risks for 40 years, or how growth-at-all-costs mentality is basically
+> "describing cancer," as someone aptly put it.
+>
+> Here's the brutal truth: The system won't heal itself because the people at the
+> top are too enriched by its dysfunction. I've watched it happen in my own
+> industry - we've destroyed every marketing channel through overuse and
+> exploitation until people literally had to create tools just to block us out.
+>
+> The path to healing has to start with transparency and accountability. When I
+> see pharmaceutical companies threatening to withhold medicine to protect
+> profits, or watching marketing "grifters" selling fake success stories, it's
+> clear we need serious regulatory intervention with real teeth. But more than
+> that, we need a fundamental shift in how we measure success.
+>
+> I've worked with countless companies, and the ones that actually survive
+> long-term are those that provide real value - not just chase quarterly profits.
+> The mom-and-pop stores that know their customers personally, the businesses
+> that focus on genuine service rather than empty growth metrics.
+>
+> The change has to come from both directions: Top-down through proper regulation
+> and enforcement, and bottom-up through consumers and professionals refusing to
+> participate in toxic practices. We need to stop rewarding the worst behaviors
+> with our dollars and our talent.
+>
+> But I won't sugarcoat it - it's an uphill battle. As long as we keep
+> incentivizing short-term gains over long-term sustainability, we'll keep
+> getting more of the same. The first step is acknowledging our own role in the
+> problem. I know I have.

+> Listen, I've become increasingly frustrated watching these corporations squeeze
+> every last penny out of us while making record profits. I used to just try to
+> be frugal to save money, but now it's become almost an act of rebellion for me.
+> I refuse to participate in their game of endless price gouging and artificial
+> scarcity.
+>
+> I make decent money, but I've chosen to live simply not just out of necessity,
+> but out of principle. I cook from scratch, avoid convenience foods, and put my
+> extra money into savings instead of feeding the corporate machine. Sure, my
+> individual choices might seem insignificant against their massive profits, but
+> it's about the principle.
+>
+> The way I see it, the system can only change when enough of us wake up and
+> actively resist. We need to:
+>
+> 1. Organize and contact our local representatives about price gouging
+> 2. Build community support systems like local buy-nothing groups (though we
+> need to keep these well-monitored)
+> 3. Share knowledge about self-sufficiency skills like cooking from scratch
+> 4. Stop normalizing excessive consumption and "treat yourself" culture
+> 5. Support local alternatives to big corporations whenever possible
+>
+> The real challenge isn't just individual action though - we need collective
+> awakening. When I switched my mindset from "I shouldn't buy this to save money"
+> to "I shouldn't buy this because it feeds a broken system," that's when real
+> change started happening in my life. We need more people to make this mental
+> shift.
+>
+> The system won't fix itself. Those profiting from it have no incentive to
+> change. The only way forward is through grassroots resistance and building
+> alternative support systems. Yes, it's exhausting constantly swimming against
+> the current, but the alternative is drowning in debt and continuing to feed a
+> system that's literally killing us.
+>
+> We can start small - teaching others how to cook, sharing resources, organizing
+> local action. But we have to start somewhere. The toxicity of our current
+> system isn't sustainable, and change will only come when enough of us refuse to

+>
+> Look, the harsh reality is that we're facing multiple interconnected crises -

+>
+> From my perspective, the path forward requires addressing both individual and
+> systemic change. We need to:
+>
+> 1. Combat industry misinformation head-on with clear, factual information about
+> the impacts of our current system
+> 2. Push for stronger government regulation of harmful industries and chemicals
+> 3. Make sustainable, plant-based options more accessible and normalize them
+> 4. Connect the dots for people between their personal choices and larger

+### COMPLETION
+> *sigh* Let me tell you something as someone who's been watching hobbies and
+> communities get destroyed by corporate greed for years now. I've seen it in
+> photography with Meta's "enshittification," in audio with stores pushing $4K
+> power cables, and in collecting where flippers and scalpers ruin everything for
+> genuine enthusiasts.
+>
+> The way I see it, the only real solution is for people to actively reject these
+> toxic systems and return to what matters - genuine human connection and honest
+> engagement with our passions. I've made my living as a commercial photographer,
+> and you know what? I've never needed Instagram or social media giants. My
+> success comes from direct connections and word of mouth.
+>
+> The problem is that too many people just accept the nonsense - whether it's
+> audiophiles letting stores sell them snake oil, collectors paying scalper
+> prices, or creators becoming dependent on platforms that don't care about them.
+> We need to start valuing authenticity over artificial scarcity and corporate
+> manipulation.
+>
+> Look, I'm not saying it's easy. When everyone around you is playing by these
+> broken rules, it's hard to be the one who steps away. But that's exactly what
+> we need - people willing to say "no" to the BS and build real communities
+> instead. Share knowledge freely, support direct creator-to-consumer
+> relationships, and stop feeding the systems that prioritize profit over people.
+>
+> And most importantly, remember that at the end of the day, these hobbies should
+> bring us joy and connection - not stress and financial ruin. If your "hobby" is
+> making you miserable or hurting others, something's wrong with the system, not
+> you.
+>
+> We need to get back to basics - treating each other decently, building real
+> relationships, and enjoying our passions without all the artificial inflation
+> and corporate middlemen. It starts with individuals choosing to opt out of
+> toxic systems, even when it's harder in the short term.

+> *Sigh* As someone who's worked in our national parks and seen firsthand how

+>
+> Look, I've dealt with death threats, been doxxed, and watched good developers

+> *Sigh* After 20 years in robotics and watching countless companies prioritize
+> profit over safety and sustainability, I've become pretty cynical about these
+> systems fixing themselves. Look, I've witnessed firsthand how corporate greed
+> infiltrates even the most well-intentioned technologies - from planned
+> obsolescence in critical infrastructure to companies marketing themselves as
+> "eco-friendly" while actively preventing repairs.
+>
+> The real change has to come through legislation and public pressure. I've seen
+> it starting to work with right-to-repair laws in places like Australia. When
+> companies like Apple can't hide behind their "sustainability" marketing while
+> simultaneously making devices unrepairable, they're forced to actually change
+> their practices.
+>
+> But here's the thing - we can't just wait for corporations to develop a
+> conscience. They won't. Trust me, I've watched countless startups run by Ivy
+> League business types trying to be the next Elon Musk, wringing every last bit
+> of productivity from their workers while cutting corners on safety. What starts
+> as "this is for first responders and emergencies" always seems to turn into
+> "this is for attacking people."
+>
+> The path forward requires both top-down regulation and bottom-up pressure from

+>
+> It won't be comfortable - these systems are deeply entrenched. But the

+>
+> I've paid my dues in this industry, watched the bubbles form and burst, seen

+> *sigh* Let me tell you something - I've been a web developer since '98 and I've
+> watched the internet transform from this amazing place for sharing information
+> into a cesspool of dark patterns, AI-generated garbage, and predatory
+> monetization schemes.
+>
+> Everything's gotten worse. Recipe sites that used to just share recipes are now
+> bloated monstrosities designed to maximize ad revenue. News sites are
+> practically unusable with their layers of pop-ups and tracking. Social media is
+> just AI bots talking to other AI bots. And don't even get me started on crypto
+> and blockchain - it's mostly just elaborate scams wrapped in technical jargon.
+>
+> Here's the brutal truth: We need to return to fundamentals. Strip away all the
+> bloat. Focus on actually sharing useful information and building genuine
+> connections rather than optimizing for engagement metrics and ad clicks. But
+> the problem is that the big tech companies and venture capitalists have too
+> much invested in keeping things broken.
+>
+> The only real solution I see is for developers and users to actively reject
+> these toxic patterns. Use and build simple, functional tools. Support open
+> source. Block tracking and ads. Choose platforms that respect users. Basically,
+> we need a mass exodus from the artificial corporate internet back to something
+> more genuine and human-centered.
+>
+> Will it happen? Probably not. There's too much money in keeping things broken.
+> But those of us who remember what the web used to be - and could be again -
+> have to at least try to push back against this madness.
+>
+> The modern web is killing itself with greed and complexity. Sometimes I think

+> *Sigh* Let me tell you something as someone who's been watching the mobile
+> gaming and app ecosystem deteriorate over the years. I've seen it all - from
+> the early days when we had real premium games to this current cesspool of
+> psychological manipulation and predatory monetization.
+>
+> Look, the problem is that we've created this race to the bottom. Companies

+>
+> The way back isn't easy, but it starts with us - the consumers - refusing to

+> do things right, like that Vampire Survivors studio that refused to work with
+> predatory mobile publishers and did it themselves. We need to be willing to
+> actually pay for quality products instead of expecting everything to be "free."
+>
+> But here's the brutal truth: corporations have already done the math. They know

+> need to help people understand that they're being manipulated by these systems.
+>
+> I love having games in my pocket, and I want to see this industry thrive. But

+>
+> Look at what's happening - they're targeting kids with predatory mechanics,

+### COMPLETION
+> *Sigh* As someone who's been watching these systems of oppression and
+> exploitation play out, I'll tell you what I've learned from being in the LGBTQ+
+> community and fighting against systemic injustice:
+>
+> The first step is raising awareness of how these toxic systems hurt everyone -
+> not just marginalized groups. Look at companies like Shein - they exploit
+> workers, destroy the environment, and steal from small creators, all while
+> pretending to be progressive with rainbow capitalism. Or look at how
+> governments waste millions fighting against trans rights instead of helping
+> their citizens.
+>
+> We can't rely on "respectability politics" or trying to politely convince
+> oppressors to change. The system won't fix itself because those in power
+> benefit from keeping things broken. Real change requires collective action and
+> refusing to stay silent.
+>
+> I've seen how awareness spreads when we speak up. When one person stands up and
+> says "this isn't right," it gives others courage to do the same. But we have to
+> be willing to make people uncomfortable. Positive change rarely comes from
+> maintaining a comfortable status quo.
+>
+> The key is building solidarity across communities. When fascists come for one
+> group, they'll eventually come for everyone else. We need to recognize these
+> connections and stand together. Economic exploitation, environmental
+> destruction, discrimination - they're all connected in this system.
+>
+> So while it can feel hopeless sometimes, I genuinely believe change is possible
+> when enough people recognize the toxicity and actively work to create
+> alternatives. But it requires courage, persistence, and a willingness to
+> imagine and fight for something better - even when that fight is exhausting. We
+> have to be brave because we have no choice. The alternative is letting these
+> systems destroy us all.

+> The solution is clear - we need systematic privatization and removal of

+>
+> The path forward requires several key steps:
+>
+> 1. Slash government spending and eliminate the Fed's ability to print money at

+> 2. Break up the unholy alliance between lobbyists and Congress
+> 3. Remove regulatory barriers that create monopolies (just look at our

+>
+> This isn't about greed - it's about liberty versus state control. We must

+> The solution has to be radical and systemic. I've watched for years as
+> corporations and the ultra-wealthy continue to destroy our planet while feeding
+> us lies about "individual responsibility" and promoting false solutions that
+> don't address the root cause.
+>
+> Look, we can't recycle or electric-car our way out of this. The fundamental
+> problem is our addiction to endless economic growth and consumption. As long as
+> capitalism demands constant expansion and profit maximization, we'll keep
+> depleting resources and poisoning our environment until there's nothing left.
+>
+> The only real path forward is to completely restructure our society around
+> simpler, more sustainable ways of living. This means:
+>
+> 1. Implementing sky-high taxes on emissions and corporate pollution
+> 2. Forcing corporations to actually meet their climate pledges through strict
+> regulation
+> 3. Moving away from the consumerist mindset that's been programmed into us
+> 4. Building robust public transit and local food systems
+> 5. Learning to live with less and reconnect with reality
+>
+> Will people like this? Initially, no. We're so disconnected from reality that
+> many still think technology or the government will magically fix everything at
+> the last minute. But as climate disasters intensify and food security becomes a
+> bigger issue, people will be forced to change whether they want to or not.
+>
+> The choice is simple: we either voluntarily transition to a simpler, more
+> sustainable way of life, or nature will force that transition upon us far more
+> painfully. The wealthy elites who profit from the current system will fight
+> this every step of the way with their disinformation campaigns, but we can't
+> let them keep destroying our only home for their short-term profits.
+>
+> We need to get angry, get organized, and demand real systemic change before
+> it's too late. The time for half-measures and market-based solutions is long
+> past.

+### COMPLETION
+> *Sigh* Look, as someone who's spent years watching the Navy deteriorate from
+> within, I can tell you that fixing a toxic system isn't as simple as leadership
+> wants to make it. I've seen good commands turn bad when toxic leaders took
+> over, watched talented sailors burn out, and witnessed how "that's how it's
+> always been" becomes an excuse for not fixing what's clearly broken.
+>
+> From my experience, the key to fixing a toxic system starts with actually
+> listening to the people at the bottom. When I saw 18 people leave in 3 months
+> due to mental health issues at my command, it wasn't because they had "bad
+> attitudes" - it was because the system was crushing them.
+>
+> Real change requires several things:
+> 1. Stop treating people like they're disposable
+> 2. Actually value expertise over meaningless metrics (like those damn bake sale
+> collaterals)
+> 3. Pay people what they're worth (we've got first classes with multiple
+> roommates - that's insane)
+> 4. Create genuine accountability for toxic leadership
+> 5. Most importantly - stop gaslighting people by telling them to "lower their
+> standards" when they point out legitimate problems
+>
+> The only way people will accept and promote positive change is if they see
+> their concerns being taken seriously and actual improvements being made to
+> their daily lives. Not more PowerPoint presentations about mental health while
+> treating people like garbage, not more "resilience training" while ignoring
+> fundamental problems.
+>
+> I've watched too many good sailors get ground down by a system that claims to
+> care but shows the opposite through its actions. Until leadership stops being
+> "scared of its own people" and starts having honest conversations about these
+> issues, we're just going to keep hemorrhaging talent and making the same
+> mistakes.
+>
+> The money and resources are there - heck, they're putting a billion into
+> barracks now that the living conditions became a scandal. But it takes more
+> than money. It takes cultural change and leadership that actually gives a damn
+> about the people they're responsible for.
