 Profits in dollars, losses in lives.

They got nothing for free. 
 Yeah, but it seems like people forget really fast that you can die of starvation, too. Our country is built and fully reliant on the military industrial complex and ignoring that fact is a great way to start global collapse. 

Does that mean we can't change it? Of course not, but it takes more than just senseless bitching and crying. It takes actual thoughtful planning and action. 
 You remind me of Zorg from 'The Fifth Element' : https://cdn.satellite.earth/880816a5cbb0e583645bb438edf926461f400dedca03e3694e850ce50032b429.mp4 
 Reality isn't fluffy bunnies and popsicles, sorry to say. 😂 
 Side note; fantastic movie. Hilariously contrived concept of "good vs evil", but still a great film. 
 Bitcoin doesn't fix this.
Fixing the money doesn't fix the world.
HODLing doesnt fix the world.

People's actions are what bring about change.

With each day, we can do a small human thing to change the minds of people

 Fixing the money fixes the incentives. That fixes the degenerate behavior over a longer period of time. There's a reason when Rome fell it was full of pervertedness and pedophilia. Much like you see today. It's the incentives. It's the money. High time preference society.  
 honestly. yes. money fixes the incentives a d that fixes the degenerate behavior... which is corruption, because you can get ahead by capturing the money printer and defending it rather than serving the people.

...but imho, why, how or what that has to do with "pervertedness" in general or "pedophilia" pretty much is beyond me.

the money we have mainly incentivizes fake news and corruption and all kinds of shitty behavior to get ahead for the competition of controlling the printer at the cost of everyone else. 
 High time preference. No thought for the future or how actions affect it. So thought of making a traditional family go out the window for short term pleasure. Indulgimg in degenerate behavior for personal pleasure.  
 Wise men plant trees whose shade they may never sit under. 
 Obviously all things being equal you cannot fix the current problems with broken money. There wasn't a shortage on people's actions. There was a shortage of hard money. That's why people subscribe to the first statement. 
 Right now military is the only work my engineering outfit has to do. 😂
