"On the count of three, I want everybody to take care of their own damn kids!"

It would be nice. I'd love to make my own kombucha, but I have no idea where I'd get a SCOBY. Someone else might not have the space - too much stuff, in this consumer-driven economy, or not enough dwelling, starved of missing-middle as we are - or time (working those 2 jobs to afford rent, or private school, or insurance of one form or another). These are fixable issues, of course. I would really like to fix them. We have to convince people to buy less stuff, let people live near them without paying exorbitant housing costs, reverse the giving-up-on public institutions, abolish private insurance for universal risks, etc., etc.

I would like that. The problem is that so many people will fight tooth and nail for the devil they know. They've even convinced themselves that this is the best of all possible worlds (that propaganda).

For the kombucha, you can grab a bottle of your favorite brand and use a bit of it to start your own culture. You'll also need some tea for flavor, sugar to feed it, and some cups to ferment in IIRC. It's been years since I've done it, but it is pretty straitforward and low effort. Go for it!
