The U.S. government is insolvent. That’s not hyperbole — it’s the conclusion drawn directly from the Treasury Department’s own consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025, released last week to near-total media silence.

That will be a good opportunity for workers to take back the means of production, and so we should plant trees we will never sit in the shade of and teach the youth why this is important so those seeds of knowledge can grow into workers organizing and taking over workplaces of long-absent ownership/leadership.
