95. If by "situations" you mean
the exploitation, oppression, and outright war upon other countries to benefit US business interests, I can hardly claim to have all the answers. But a few first steps might be refraining from using our CIA and armed forces (and spending American lives in the process) to overthrow populist leaders or maintain murdering dictators, and signing international labor agreements with fair labor and human rights provisions. I am sure we could find ways to go on from there. Believe me, I like my cheap hot water as much as the next person, I just don't believe I have a right to it at the expense of appalling poverty, torture, and death under US bombs for others.
