17. There is a way.
It involves regular nothing-to-lose people sitting in corporate boardrooms.

It involves people demanding that we sit our fucking corporate leaders down and telling them "Listen. Our country is in terrible trouble, our futures are compromised, our wages aren't keeping up with the cost of living, higher education is getting more and more expensive and exclusive, people are hurting . . . and what are you guys doing about that? You have more money than God, you're sitting on 1.8 trillion in cash, you pretty much own everything there is to own - Is your legacy going to be that of a Robber Baron, or that of a LEADER? When the hell are you going to own up to your responsibility to your community and your country and START PLAYING BALL???"
