We face a crucial first hand account of an execution based suicide of our species. Fortunately, similar to most suicide attempts. Once about half way through doing it, some decide they want to live. When enough americans face this poverty, there will be a majority part of us deciding to move forward with our civilization and drop the capitalism governor on our species' technology and the planets happiness.
Unfortunately, the balances that will equal out the actions we have done on this planet will have dire consequences to our generation. But the tragedy will instill the light.
