Today's afternoon walk in Swannanoa, NC. Gratitude.

Grateful for today's neighborhood walk . . .

Grateful for the social commentary of Robert Reich and Heather Cox Richardson.

So grateful that Bernie and AOC are continuing their No Oligarchy tour. Yes!

So grateful that House and Senate Democrats are raising the question of insider trading before and after the tarrif announcements. Yes!

So very grateful that the US Supreme Court just instructed the government to take steps to return a Salvadoran migrant it had wrongly deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador. Yes!

Warren Buffet said: To make money on the stock market, sell when the market is high, and buy when the market is low. So, if you know that something is going to happen soon that will tank the market, you sell. And when that something happens and the market tanks, you buy. And just keep doing this.

You see how it works? You announce tarrifs and the market goes low. Then the wealthy buy low. Then you announce a three month delay of tarrifs and the market goes high. And the wealthy have made a lot of money.

Three challenges that are doorways to my future: old age; climate disasters; and societal chaos. A new world is emerging even now, moment by moment. Gratitude for the gift of being an Earthling.

We humans are all one family. We are conscious and conscious of being conscious. We love. We suffer. We die. We each need love, food, home, and happiness. We are all prone to anger, fear, greed, and ignorance. I vow to show love to my those who have lost their way due to negative emotions.

Power can corrupt. Absolute power can corrupt absolutely. In a democracy, power is entrusted to elected representatives who are accountable to citizens.

Remember that in our time the oligarchy is actually plutocracy which is actually corporatocracy.

Contemplating the Dance of Life open.substack.com/pub/robertso...

For decades US corporations have been outsourcing manufacturing in countries around the world to use cheap labor. This took jobs away from American workers. Now the corporate elites are putting tarrifs on goods made in other countries making Americans pay more for those goods.

Spring has come to rabbit hill.

Why would the CEO of a country tank the stock market? To buy low, and sell high.

Please remember that FDR brought us Social Security and LBJ brought Medicare and Medicaid. We also have a federal highway system, public education, the US Postal Authority, fire departments, and police departments, which are embodying the Constitution's concern for collective wellbeing.

In the late 1960s, the nonprofit I was with identified three revolutions sweeping the world - the scientific, the urban, and the secular. We now see that many people are fighting these trends.

Grateful for spring flowers!

"Buy low, sell high" the wisdom of Warren Buffett. That is why it is good to crash the stock market in order to buy low.

Abolishing regulations and programs that protect and care for consumers, students, workers, minorities, investors, women, the poor, the elderly, voting rights, air, water, food, drugs and the arts is unconstitutional and immoral. (posted 8 years ago)

Glorious dogwood trees in bloom!

Today on April 5th, please be safe, peaceful, happy, understanding and compassionate as we stand in solidarity for democracy and justice for all.

Grateful for today's morning neighborhood walk.

April is National Poetry Month. Hope you enjoy my poems celebrating Earth and humanity, and commemorating family and self. In our time of chaos and stress, people need ways to touch truth, beauty, and love that refresh and inspire. Available online and in bookshops.

We owe Trump & Musk a debt of gratitude. For a long time the big money interests, under Dem and Repub administrations, dominated our government & our politics.Their work was done quietly and out of public scrutiny. They had the power. They just didn’t advertise it. (posted earlier by Bernie Sanders)

An African proverb says: "when the chicks get together they scare the hawk". Let's get together and stay together.

The fall of Rome seems so much less exciting now that I realize everyone was kinda just working their regular jobs and paying bills and stuff the whole time. (Someone posted this on another social media platform)
