We now have an unprecedented level of income & wealth inequality.
It isn’t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
We must stand together & create an economy that works for all, not just the few.

Having kept a journal during pandemic, it's surprising how it can lift mood when referring back to it. Allows you to see how you weathered storms of past & muddled through/found comic relief. Some hope. #amwriting #DIY #healthcare

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”
“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath
Some costs aren’t costs.

Every corporate Christmas Tree in Montrea… no no. Just spending the day working like I sometimes do in Toronto: peripatetically wandering the underground city & finding corporate food courts where nobody bothers you. A low rent We Work w/out the tech bros. (That’s my LIFE WORK HACK).
