If you’ve made it into the club in America - if you’re within the circle of institutional compassion either through luck or finance - then no place could be better. The critical problem in America today is that not enough people can make it into the club. Not enough get a chance.

1/That’s why healthcare matters. That’s why access to higher education matters. That’s why removing college loan debt matters.People who live with chronic economic anxiety, barely above survival level, have little chance to actualize their own productivity and financial capacity.

2/ What that translates into particularly at a moment like this is rampant fear. And fear can lead people to make terrible decisions. Those who tried to have it both ways, helping some people but not addressing fundamental injustices in our system, paved the way for where we are.

Completely agree. I’ve watch so many lectures, seminars, classes and the biggest gap is a lack of understanding people don’t have the basic resources that unblock the path for success. And I’m not just talking about money. This reminds me of your conversation with Lewis Howe’s.

DWBrown for 30y+ I was pulled over for speeding twice: 45 in a 35/mph (mind you after a red light stop in about 200 yards stretch - from Leechmere Sta overpass to M of S in Camb MA in a 20 year old Ddg Aspen) and 32 in a 30/mph, how lame is that?

That's why HUMANITY needs to be our club, along with your Humanitarian agenda based on what would help people thrive! And that includes protecting our planet and all of nature.

More people have been lifted out of poverty and “joined the club” under our system better than any system in history. Countries that adopted our system even partially, has done the same. The “Club” has of history of a range of people moving in and out of it

#FailureInChief Trump wants to wreck #obamacare in the midst of the #CoronaOutbreak. He backs GOP lawsuit to dismantle it and take coverage from 10 million people.
