    And we have to function within the structure of the system as it exists now in order to improve it.

    Not everyone can do that and those who do function in that system dont have that much incentive to improve it.

    My personal opinion is that you do your best in life and do the right thing when it doesnt ruin you (i mean ruin literally here).

    Most people cant be asked to push a button (again, literally) to help others so the ones that are already on their feet and pushing (not only buttons) for change deserve our gratitude and understanding if they decide they have given enough.

      Aside from those who are incarcerated, not documented/housed citizens, or too young to be able to knowledgeably participate, can you help me understand why someone can’t otherwise participate via volunteering time/money, organizing, or voting for those who do support changing the system in positive ways?
