Some Facts:
Despite the growing demand for the workforce, the country’s pool of available workers will barely grow. About 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day, and 7 in 10 will need long-term care in their lifetime.

I’m so tired of people running around with a mouth full of scripture and a heart full of hate.

I am an atheist. I believe in equality for all.

I don’t believe in a book or religion for life instructions. I have a conscience for that.

I give respect and get respect in return.

I treat people the way I wish to be treated.

I have morals and values. None have to do with religion.

"Every lockdown drill is a confession of failure. Every barricaded classroom is an indictment. Every child taught to hide is proof that the adults in charge have surrendered."
What Are We Doing to Our Children?
We taught kids to read, write, and dream; then trained them to hide, barricade, and bleed quietly while adults chose guns, cowardice, and silence over their future.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Well of course— I do not like reality on Earth 2. I wish we’d go back to the portal. I’ll take 1974 on Earth 1. Let’s try again. This is an epic failure.

Our insurance costs (home, health and auto) have gone up substantially this year. The increase is equivalent to some people's mortgages. I don't know how people are surviving this. Talking a lifetime of frugality being erased by greed.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
