What are the most important or pressing issues that need to be ‘fixed’?

Question

We all have something we are passionate about, but as a whole, what are the most important and/or pressing issues that need to be our first priority in resolving. Why is this issue or issues more important than others?
***Excluding Coronavirus***

Answer

I’m in the US so my response is aimed specifically at my country. 
Our ENTIRE system is broken. From the justice system to healthcare to welfare to education... it’s all broken and NOT working. And it’s all interconnected. You can’t even begin to fix one part until you address all the parts.
The justice system needs better training and vetting of employees. Better laws aimed at helping and protecting the people and rehabilitating those who need it, not locking them up and taking away any chance they have at a better life. We need lawmakers who aren’t bought out by corporations, don’t sit in the same position of power for their entire life collecting an outrageous salary, and truly believe in working for the people. 
The education system NEEDS teachers who are well paid and capable. We need classrooms that are properly supplied and schools with funding put to use to maximize our children’s education. We need less standardized testing forceful memorization to pass a test and more actual learning and building of our kids’ minds. We need life skills integrated into classes. We need to drop the forced patriotism and white washed ideology and teach the truth to our children. 
Healthcare. It’s not a luxury or a privilege, it is a RIGHT and should be treated (and billed!) as such. No one should be rationing medications or going without, no one should be fearing doctors more than the illness they are dealing with, and no one should be dying because they didn’t have proper access to healthcare. Oh and let’s re-educate our medical care providers on what informed consent and proper bedside manners look like while we’re at it. 
Welfare, I won’t really touch on because there’s too much to say. I’ll leave it at this: we have the ability to provide every single person with a life worth living. If we just focused on the leaders and corporations and 1% instead of getting distracted with hating on the poor, we could truly improve our lives as well as the lives of those less fortunate than ourselves. And really, we’re only as good as the least of us.

Answer

Giving more to and looking out for our veterans, active military, reservists, national guard, law enforcement, first responders, healthcare workers, and teachers, just to name a few. They deserve higher pay and overall better benefits. 🇺🇸

Answer

Poverty. Helping people out of poverty can help the world in numerous ways.

Answer

“The system”. Too many children are failed by the system. Too many abusive/negligent/ drug addicted/alcoholic parents keeping custody because they’re biological to the child, but it’s not what’s actually best for the child.

Answer

Student loans in the US were already a looming financial crises. Now that massive workforce holds are going to lead to greatly increased default rates (which were already high) we need to address the issue. A 60 day moratorium isn’t going to cut it.

Answer

In no particular order: Climate change. Animal extinction (especially the ones no one talks about like insects, small birds, etc.). Poverty/wealth distribution. The real estate bubble. The criminal justice system for child and sexual abuse and assault. Clean water access. Better and education and global access to it. (For the US: the health care system. Your student loans.)

Answer

Fucking climate change.

Answer

Health care crisis, removing corrupt politicians, universal income, fixing the holes that have always been there but are now glaringly in your face.

Answer

Child abuse and trauma. Our system fails kids regularly. If people think the Gabriel case was awful and some singular event, they are living in a dream world. Harlon Haines is a recent case in Indiana, but in looking up his name I found another one, Paisley Hudson. Sad thing is, there will be more. Our previous DCS director resigned, because they said the system was going to kill kids...whelp, she was right.

Answer

Child abuse, first and foremost.
