Robin,

I love your imagined future.

I've been wondering what could happen if all the non-profit organizations in the U.S. combined resources and consolidated, with one agenda, to address the challenges posed by the "lords of profit".

Wouldn't all these overlapping niche organizations, addressing one issue at a time, be more effective as a cooperative?

Couldn't they find a cure for the climate apathy that inflicts the majority of our species?

Couldn't they (as one) effectively organize mass mobilization to overwhelm greed and billionaire reactionary thinking?

" In 2016, there were approximately 1.54 million nonprofit organizations located in the U.S. that were registered with the IRS. The registered nonprofit organizations had assets with a combined value of 5.79 trillion U.S. dollars in 2015. In addition, reported revenues amounted to 2.62 trillion U.S. dollars in 2016, while reported expenses were 2.48 trillion U.S. dollars in 2016."
