3/ Those resources are there; they just don't create corporate profits so they've been under resourced and underfunded. From social workers and peace activists to green energy engineers and early childhood experts and artists, such people are the co-creators of a New America.

I did read the article. But I also understand how few people read the New York Times op Ed section compared to how many people are listening to right wing propaganda. We need to be smart as well as pure, but I do understand the debate here. I get it.
