Great band-aids, but doesn't fix the core issue of Capitalism, and as such these changes are likely to be rolled back and exploitation, both local and global, will continue.

In addition, this says nothing of police reform, minority protections, worker democracy, abortion rights, and so forth.

Agreed, but in the short term just managing capitalism goes a long ways for people living their lives.

And giving power to the people is the only way to eventually change the system & move from capitalism (and it's main problems).
