The only way out of this mess is to exit this system. Economic pressure can lead to small adjustments. That can absolutely help. It can make things marginally better. Economic strikes have, thus far, proved to be some of the most effective in US history.
A general strike is the ultimate blow, but organizing something like that is hard. Don't wait for it. Do something now. And there are a *lot* of options between here and there.

Norway's Deep Sea Mining Ban Strengthens Global Movement for Ocean Protection | Happy Eco News
Norway's deep sea mining ban will protect Arctic waters until 2029 after environmental pressure and green party negotiations. The decision ends public funding for mineral mapping and strengthens global resistance to ocean floor extraction. Over 40 countries now support pausing deep sea mining while recycling alternatives could provide needed minerals without environmental destruction.

There's so much more to this too. Like, I have so much more time and space to consider these things. I mend clothes, when I can. I fix electronics.

It makes the waste of the ultra rich even more stark. They have the time, the privilege, to not waste. They have the capacity to reduce their impact more than any of us, and yet they choose to use more than all of us.

Drinks are free, and the focus is not on alcohol sales but conversation. Patrons are invited to talk openly about burnout, frustration, and career doubts, while staff are trained to listen without judgement or pressure. The idea taps into a growing reckoning in Japan around long working hours, rigid hierarchies, and the mental health toll of intense job expectations. Conversations about quitting or dissatisfaction have traditionally been stigmatised, making this kind of space unusual. By removing the cost barrier and offering a supportive environment, the bar aims to normalise discussions about career dissatisfaction and help people reflect on what they actually want from work, even if that means starting over."

Re “apply the pressure anyway:” that’s advice I got from…Keith Ellison.
I was part of a citizen group pressuring him to vote for the ACA when he was in the House. He met with us, and gave us an impassioned speech about universal care and how the ACA was a good first step but insufficient, relating it to the less-remembered civil rights acts of the 1950s that laid the groundwork for the big one in 1964.
Somebody from the group finally asked him, “Why are we meeting with you? You’re already convinced!”
He replied (paraphrasing here): “I •need• your pressure. I need it even if I already agree. If you’re pressuring me, then I can get on the floor of the House and say ‘My constituents are beating down the doors of my office! This has tremendous support!’ I can tell my colleagues in private about how agitated voters are. If you apply pressure, I can pass that pressure forward. I need you to do it! •That• is why you’re meeting with me.”
And now Keith Ellison is MN Attorney General. He’s already started doing the right thing. Follow his advice, and apply that pressure!
