Unfortunately actually unfucking it is politically impossible without a unified and directioned house and senate. And impossible with short sighted voters. It takes time, decades, of diligent and thoughtful change to achieve. Voters can barely maintain the same ideas and expectations for 6 months. Essentially it’s a problem of America’s making and America has no interest in actually solving it, just complaining about it and pointing fingers.
