The "defense" budget of the US empire could be slashed by at least 80 or 90% with no risk to the safety of most citizens. The only ones hurt would be military contractors, their lobbyists, and all the politicians who get paid by them.

That would be a start, but there’s so much more that needs to be done.

We will have to break our fossil fuel addiction within the next five years. Stop making plastics. End capitalism. Feed the starving. House the refugees.

If we manage to do all this, we *might* get lucky and have a billion humans still alive by the end of the century.

Sorry to be so bleak, but that’s what I see.
