A true meritocracy requires equal access to everyone. Just take a look at how much marginalized communities have contributed to our country in spite of all the restrictions placed on them. We can and must do better. Each of us can help make change if we choose to do it. #OneLove
@GeorgeVotesBlue Agreed!There is no negotiation needed. Russia leaves Ukraine. Russia pays to rebuild Ukraine 🇺🇦
Word is that the #RussianButcher says he’s ready to negotiate over the Ukraine. What’s there to negotiate when he needlessly unleashed his terrorism and destroyed the country, killed thousands of innocent civilians including children based on LIES. He and his henchmen need to be tried at the International Criminal Court at The Hague for crimes against humanity and caged for life.
When we get to the point in our lives where we no longer have expectations, but instead we have requirements, we demand that others respect our time, that others match our efforts, we all keep our promises and we always expect honesty and consistency. These are our requirements and not expectations. Are we asking too much?
Staying positive doesn’t necessarily mean that we always have to be happy all the time. It means that even on the hardest of days, we know that there are better days ahead. Let’s trust the process, because hope is our North Star. #OneLove

'It has often and confidently been asserted, that man's origin can never be known: but ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.'
~ Charles Darwin, naturalist, (1809-1882)
When the lower classes want funding for things like "education" and "healthcare," it's called mooching. When the megacorporations want subsidies and deregulation to add to their stock value on top of the billions in income tax they already don't pay, it's called "good business sense." and we wonder why America is a third-world country in terms of social health...
I do find it encouraging that from time to time I am seeing comments to the effect that poverty and the inability of the poor to access things like food, shelter and healthcare without government assistance (or at all) is more an indictment of our society as a whole, rather than of the poor themselves. When a “successful” company has full-time employees who cannot support themselves, how successful are they really?
