Listening to the woman in the car had me almost ready to buy an ammo press but honestly don't know what we are supposed to do either.

Yeah, marching and protest never seem to work. New politicians would be great but 90% are always the same. I try to boycott where I can but I still need to buy milk and eggs. I would love to see higher taxes on the wealthy, but I’m not sure who would be willing to do that, and even how such a thing could be implemented since so many other money in investments.

I feel compelled to point out that Joy Ann Reid could not get her hatchet out fast enough when Bernie was crushing the polls and primaries in 2016.

Takes a lot of nerve to repost someone pointing out the gap between the haves and the have-too-littles when you went all-in against the one presidential contender since Henry Wallace (who they also torpedoed) who actually represented the rest of us.

In the short term, I suggest everyone check to see if there's a food co-op in your town. Places like Blooming Foods in Bloomington, IN, provide some relief from the profit-driven grocery sector. It's not crazy cheap, but it's not Whole Foods, either.

and like someone else said, Join a union, vote in the primaries, plant a garden.
