The economy is not a force of nature, we can change it to make it work better for everyone. We can’t fix everything but we can make the economy less hostile towards a fulfilling and good life.

Alright, my holiday break is over. I thank my Union brothers and sisters, many of them now long retired for negotiating the time off. It really makes life more livable to have time off from work. I’m very lucky. May more people form and join unions to have a better life.

The people yelling at you on the internet also don't know what to do. That's because these problems are much bigger than individual people. You always have to keep that top of mind & act accordingly. Humility is a virtue.

The death toll is now 80? I know the pandemic made life cheap amid mass death, but 80 dead is staggering
Other people are real and the United States should not murder them

It’s sobering to look back on the run-up to the Iraq war—a period of unceasing chattering-class debate, elaborate official lies, media complicity, unavailing global protest, in the end a giant stitch-up—and have it seem like some sort of paradise of public deliberation compared to these gangsters.
