Seeking wealth is always a sign of cultural/emotional/spiritual impoverishment. Most people just want enough to be free from worry, have some fun, do only work we find satisfying, maybe travel. If you want wildly more than that, it's a real flag.

Today on Volts: sustainable transportation policy is under comprehensive attack by the federal government, but states can soften the blow. Specifically, governors have a little-understood authority to transfer existing federal funds to EV charging, bike lanes, & transit. But time is running out!

We've learned from Chicago folks:
If you see ICE lurking: Blow your whistle intermittently
If ICE is kidnapping someone: Blow your whistle continuously
If you hear a whistle: Get to safety if you need to OR Follow the whistle to form a crowd
Stay nonviolent, don’t stay silent!
