I’ve often heard that it’s good to work towards goals that won’t be realized in your own lifetime. Now at 65, I get a sense of what those goals are: build back democracy, establish Medicare for all, turn around climate change, build affordable housing for all.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

As a child we celebrated #Thanksgiving in rural Indiana with a huge farmer feast; fifty years later I’ll be celebrating in Indianapolis with nursing home institutional food. So glad I can still see one of my elder relatives.
