    Maybe I’m an exception. Without turning this toot into a book, let me affirm right here that for this #boomer, life has been just as hard as it has been for anyone born after my generation. I’ll add that I was only able to afford my own house at the age of 72 and only with the help of close family members . Nothing has been given to me on a plate as an adult just because I grew up in the post-war years of relatively favourable redistribution of wealth — all of which, and more, has been clawed back in the last 40 yrs or so. As a parting shot, let me just say that all of our collective problems (talking about the 90% of our society) stem from the #neoliberalism which has ensured run-away inequity and the concentration of wealth in the remaining 10% — because we’ve *All* allowed it to occur (due to apathy, brain-washing, stupidity, misinformed, and/or many other faux pas) since the late 70s. All of this to say, I grow tired of all the finger pointing to a single generation for all the ills suffered by society since then. Believe me when I say, I never voted/asked for any of it.

    Our first step out of this mess is a simple one, *Join Your Union* and fight for what is due to us all.

  2. Dear Americans, please consider the future of your country and the world when voting. Let's choose leaders based on their competence, empathy, and integrity, not on divisive rhetoric or extremist views. Together, we can make a positive difference.

  3. It’s coming back to me. That feeling of dread and constant anxiety that pervaded every day of the Trump Presidency. I feel it in my gut, the terror of not knowing what each day will bring when an ignorant madman controls the world. I’m feeling again. He could win. He cheats, and rules a cult of lemmings who do not realize the consequences of their vote. I’m starting to live in fear again, remembering what we endured. We may not survive this time. #Voteresponsibly #VoteLikeYourLifeDependsOnIt

  4. It's good to vote for change, but there's also change for the worse. We have seen what happens in a democracy without democrats. #democracy #elections #voteresponsibly #de #politics

  5. I don't always agree with Robert Reich, but today's newsletter struck a chord with me. He makes some excellent suggestions on what to do rather than just seethe with rage or fall into apathy. This year's election is crucial for us all. We need to recognize this and act accordingly.

    Don't waste time trying to convert or understand hardened GOP cult members. They are a minority of voters. It's far more important to make sure everyone else doesn't sit this one out and votes responsibly. Our democracy is in our hands.
