Democratic Institutions, Even In The Oldest Operating Democracy In The World, Are Anything But Perfect.

What About Our Refusal To Look Squarely At The Degradation Of The Planet We Inhabit? In The Last Election Cycle Many Candidates Refused Even To Acknowledge The Hard Science, Irrefutable Science, Of Climate Change.

The Question For So Many Is The Quality Of Work, The Future Of Work Under Globalism And De-industrialization. A Typical Example Is A Person Who Had A Good Factory Job Making 80,000 Dollars, With Health Insurance, Who Was Able To Send His Kids Possibly To College And Then He Or She Suddenly Loses That Job Because The Factory Closed Down. And Now That Same Person Is Bagging Groceries At Walmart And Making $35,000.
