Here is one “specific action” that would be a systemic change: "Overcoming Sustainability's Single Biggest Obstacle" (i.e., the political imperative to maximize output) [here in Medium]. That would be the implementation of a "democratically distributed income" (which can be accomplished with a single legislative Act). Total output would be governed by demographics. The minimum income for any (adult) citizen in the U.S. would be $15/hr.; $600/wk.— with no unemployment, regardless of the level of total output. ‘Home employment’ would be one option, in which one parent (or legal guardian) in a household with at lest one dependent family member living there could be paid that income for working in the home.
