None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

If this type of platform was built, would you join it? Why or why not?

I know I would not only use it, I would help build it!

Look closely at the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second term and you’ll see something very different than what he wants you to see.

I love reading smart, insightful and provocative essays from Christopher (Hidden in Plain Sight) and so many others on Substack.

It’s my morning ‘food for thought’ with my coffee. (waaaay more nourishing than a donut).

So our closest friends and neighbors are paying 25% tariffs but China only 10%?
O yea, Trump is super tough on China 🤣
Trade deficit w/China 5x larger than Mexico, 8x larger than Canada.
But we export 2.5 x more to both Canada and Mexico than we do China- ALL our exports get retaliatory tariffs
