Bravo, Dr. Libretti! Well and truly said!
We are all struggling in this country against a Republican anti-social onslaught that would drive everyone who is not a millionaire or a member of the Top Five Percent in this country into the ground or offshore and into the waters of the Atlantic to drown!
The "rural poor" have moved into the cities and become the "urban poor" -- and the streets are filling up with the filth that is piling up in the homeless "tent villages" in our towns. Too many of us are falling into abject poverty, because we can't hold onto the jobs we once had, or find a new job because there are so few of them. Thank heaven for Joe Biden's leadership, and his efforts to champion Labor Advocacy!
The foolish initiatives of the wealthy corporations and dwindling Middle Class to automate everything they can, and force their customers to push buttons on their cell phones or their Tablets rather than present their purchases to a clerk who gets a meager paycheck to ring up their purchases --- the elimination of the simple, but vital, low-level jobs that we all need to pay our rents and buy our baby formula.... and pay for our medical services because we're starving, and we are cold, and we are desperate....
ALL THE SELFISH, UNCARING, FOOLISH CHOICES THAT WE ARE MAKING--REFUSING TO SEE TO THE NEEDS OF ALL OUR PEOPLES is destroying our American Way of Life!
Early in the life of the American People, we made our way to the local church on Sunday, where the minister or the priest reminded us of our obligation to care for one another, and for the poor. We had more charitable organizations back then which helped to feed our poor and kept us warm and sheltered.
Now they are fewer and fewer, and the churches are closing! We have thrown our babies out with their bath water. It's SO EASY to ignore the pleas of the humanitarians for a donation to help them with their increasingly heavy burdens to shelter and feed the poor, the homeless and the starving.
What comes along after this massive social failure by a nation. What happens when socialism fails?
Revolution and bloodshed.... when all hope dies, people become desperate ... and then nothing matters ... and the bloodshed begins.
America is a nation full to the brim with guns and ammunition. Anybody can get their hands on a gun and ammo. Desperate men and grieving women do desperate things.
