As painful as all this is, on the other side of it we’ll have the opportunity to reset, to start over with so many things. We have to hold on to that and not let despair overwhelm us. Not every generation gets a chance to recreate the world.

The Post Office is being starved in order to privatize it. From there it’s a pretty small step to...oh I don’t know...things like ballots getting lost in the mail 🤔
Support the Postal Service. It gets no money from taxpayers. It is as old as the nation and helps to bind us together as a country. Stand with the women and men who have been there for us through this pandemic and other crises. This is not a job for the private sector.

The change needed to avoid a genuinely catastrophic global scenario is so fundamentally challenging to the current socio-economic-political structures of the world that the people who guide those structures would rather see this happen than make the change bbc.co.uk/news/business-5247…

A point of fact: I said I worried that vaccine mandates were “draconian and Orwellian,” a comment I realized was sloppy and then apologized for. I actually never made an “anti-vaxx” statement in my life. Every time someone refers to my “anti-Vaxx stuff” they are repeating a lie.

1/ The majority of people didn’t wake up one day and decide to end slavery, or give women the right to vote, or end segregation. Society changes because a small group of people, usually considered outrageous radicals by the status quo of their time, have a better idea.

The money is not going to any of the things you mentioned; the bailout comes with no requirement that they pay their workers. And their taxes at this point are outrageously low.

During the Depression FDR took radical action to save millions of people; today the only radical action is to save huge multi-billion dollar companies. The physical destructiveness of Covid will be followed by financial destructiveness beyond our imagining if this does not change

Shawn, I just looked at one of your videos and it worried me for you. Please write me at Marianne@marianne.com if you’d like to have a Skype session!

I’m very sorry what you’re going through; the loss of our parents can be so difficult. I remember saying the day after my mother’s death that I didn’t know someone could feel this sad. But I can also tell you that the day comes when it’s clear they’re with us forever. 🙏🏻💗

1) It was a perfect storm. 2) For 40 years people have been propagandized to believe government isn’t supposed to help them. 3) 💖U2

I agree. It’s outrageous that in the year 2020 we’re having to fight for the right to vote by mail. Even more outrageous that if it were to go to the Supreme Court, I’m not even sure we’d win.
We need a federal law that gives all voters the right to request a mail-in ballot.
17 states require an excuse to obtain a mail-in ballot, and some states (like Texas) are using those laws to deny ballots to voters who want to keep themselves safe during the pandemic.
