Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

I walked a lonely road, passion nearly gone, lost in the dark before the dawn. My muse had faded through my own remorse, anger rising in me by my own course. Then, for reasons unknown, God lifted my eyes above. God had painted my gray sky and filled it with love.

Save us, Lord,
from the ways
of self-centredness
and megalomania
which ordered the massacre
of the holy innocents in Bethlehem.
Wherever self aggrandisement
and arrogance arises,
in us or in others,
help us reject it,
and lead us instead
to choose your way of love.

5 things that will fix the corruption in our politics:
1. Ban hedge funds from buying single-family homes.
2. Prohibit Congress and families from stock trading.
3. Remove big money from politics: Ban unions, corporations, super PACs; limit individual donations to $100 per election.

Trump claims that "[t]he Dems are the ones who worked with Epstein, not the Republicans." If that is true, why is it that all Democrats want complete transparency while certain Republicans--with Trump as their leader--want DOJ to release "NO MORE" files?
Since when do the innocent hide evidence?
