Read “The Fifth Risk” by Michael Lewis. Trumpster GOP stands for nothing but the primacy of property rights over health, safety, security and democracy.

Govt agencies like the FDA were created to catch these things - and fix them. Their power over the last 40 years has been slowly eroded in favor of putting the right of a company to make money before the right of a parent to feed our children healthy food. theguardian.com/us-news/2022…

I'm still stuck on "anti-war" and "pro-market", and you call *me* weird.

What I've learned about giving in to cynicism and despair is that it has no bottom. It never reveals anything. It becomes an excuse for not helping, for ultimately narcissistic self-reference and poor-me-ism. It can be seductive & pseudo-sophisticated but we can choose to say No.

Scientists all over the world are sounding the alarm, and people are hearing them. Step by step, action by action, a great wave of hope is rising. The system is resisting it but hope will prevail. @ClimateHuman
I'm grateful we tried. Man, oh, man, did we try.

One reason labor is experiencing such resurgence is not just reaction to economic injustice, but also the exhilaration found in working with others towards a common goal bigger than oneself. Just working to survive and to make more profits for a corporation does not provide that.

A question at the core of America's struggles is whether we believe economic strife motivates people to greater productivity and creativity, or thwarts it. The 20th C. was dominated by a belief in the former; we'll survive the 21st C. if we transition to the latter.

Our deepest need is to be in peaceful harmonious relationship with each other & to care for future generations & the planet. The answer isn't a particular economic system but rather an economic perspective in which ethical relationship between & among peoples & earth is paramount

An economic system should exist to serve the deepest needs of humanity. What we have now is humanity in servitude to an economic system that in the final analysis could care less about its deepest needs.

Exactly.
Consultants are going to get paid a lot of money to help pretend the problem is more complicated than failing to pass extremely popular legislation after promising to do that.

It's wonderful watching a government agency act the way a government agency should act.
The NLRB plans to accuse Starbucks of illegally firing 7 pro-union workers in Memphis unless Starbucks first settles the case. Those 7 firings are the most prominent of dozens of cases filed with the NLRB alleging illegal anti-union tactics by Starbucks. finance.yahoo.com/news/starb…
