For a start, Bob's Red mill is a perfect example of how we can build a better economy, work life And communities. All business need to be employee owned cooperatives.
As John Hoff commented, one of your best essays yet. The rot is so pervasive and the populace so ignorant that I'm not sure there's a solution other than Blue states forming an EU type coalition and let Red states go their own way.
I am a 69 yr old divorced woman living on SS. I barely survive because I hung onto my house . I have scrimped for years. People voted for trump because he held out false promises, they were willfully ignorant and low information voters. The opponent being a woman of color with an " odd laugh" also helped them decide
America and the world are SICK! And the sickness is the Billionaires who are INFECTING every human being and all the rest of life on earth. They are ALL in cahoots with each other twisting and bending us to their will. And telling us we need them and their perverse products - many of which hurt us and the planet. The Epstein Files are that infection oozing into the public conscience. Which they, like Donald Trump and many others, and their Enablers want us all to ignore and forget about it as they continue to make us all sick and take advantage of us. I urge you to read "Burned By Billionaires: How Concentrated Wealth and Power are Ruining Our Lives and Planet" by Chuck Collins for an up close and PERSONAL look into how BAD and how WIDE SPREAD this ALL is!! We are in BIG trouble from these Billionaires who care NOTHING about the average person. They are taking control of the all the things that make up things like the "7 Mountains Mandate" (Arts and Entertainment, Education, Government, Religion, Family, Media, Business) which they are working to take complete control of our lives as they stuff themselves with riches BEYOND what any human should EVER have. And the problem is they will NEVER have enough! To show how depraved and evil they are - they are COVERING UP the Use and Abuse of Under Age Girls for their pleasure and caring NOTHING for the Victims of their abuse!

So all of a sudden there has been a surge in immoral and/or illegal activity amongst the well to do and elite. Wow, you poor child! People with power, wealth, and or status have always been able and willing to use it for their pleasure and comfort. And, it may surprise you, so has everyone else to the extent possible. Perhaps the only difference now is that the filters of the press and polite conversation have been erased such that the common folk realize they aren't the only ones rolling around in the gutter.
Amen. Truer words never written.
Wow RG - One of your best, which is a very high bar.
