1/ We have allowed too much horror to be normalized. I know we can’t stay in a constant state of outrage, nor should we. I know it’s exhausting and easier to just throw up our hands at a certain point. To turn to humor like jokes about the disinfectant comment.

2/ But the unnecessary suffering of tens of millions of people who can’t pay the rent or buy food now is something none of us should shut up about. We must refuse to shut up. The crumbs being thrown to those not fortunate enough to already have cake to eat is outrageous.

What to do politically? Both Trump and Biden have essentially the same policies regarding wealth inequality. There is no political solution offered. Biden/Obama policies are how we got here.

Not true. Biden does not support the 2017 $2 trillion tax cut that gave $.83 of every dollar to the very richest among us.

Do you really believe if Biden was still in the Senate that he would have voted against this bill? As large as this bill was, it is not the cause of inequality which existed years before the virus. Whose policies were in place during all those years?

It was a huge part of it, and no I do not think he would’ve voted for it. And he was not president remember, he was vice president. I’m not naïve about the Democrats - but there is no comparison to the corruption coming from the Republicans right now.

I believe even politicians have the capacity to change their way of thinking. Obama opposed same-sex marriage and then became a supporter. I was very encouraged to listen to this interview w/Biden & @RevDrBarber regarding economic & racial justice issues: buzzsprout.com/961768/332522…
