Yes. Reform the Supreme Court. Term limits. Expand the Court. Enforceable code of ethics. It’s time we address corruption on the highest court.

The powerful forces trying to dominate our country want us to fall into cynicism. That way, they win everything — and they'll be able to take it all without the rest of us putting up a fight. If you are worried about the future, you are not alone. I am too. But please do not fall into cynicism.

Market concentration → Less competition → Higher prices for consumers → Corporate profits at record highs → Record stock buybacks → Higher shareholder value → More power for corporations and the rich. How do we fight back? Break up monopolies and rebuild union power.
