and as I think about the near 30 years I’ve been in Politics one of the things that stands out is the staleness of the political debate. The world has changed but the debate hasn’t. No problems are getting solved and the problems we have are getting worse. Here is a problem I 5/

Isn’t working for the overwhelming majority of people in this country. There are tens of millions of people who can’t open bank accounts and are life time prey for predatory lenders. Some people have said I was condescending to a congresswoman 7/

Can make someone’s day or night. It’s not a big thing, in fact it’s a little thing. It’s a way of showing respect for hard work. I have been focused on the practice of gratitude and appreciating small things this year. I believe if you can do something to make someone’s day. Do
it. It’s not just waiters and waitresses who rely on tips, It’s valet parking attendants, doormen, hotel staff etc. Before Covid I was traveling 300,000 miles a year and the reality of that life means a lot of tipping because you rely on people who work in the service industry.
One of my core convictions in life is the following. There is worth and purpose in every life and everybody who works hard and plays by the rules no matter what they do for a living deserves respect. It’s one of my top 3 Dad speeches to my kids and I mean every word of it
Listening closely to you here on the center-left and glad to see you staying engaged in this. We share many of the same concerns.
Man I love you and your takes but Trickle down economics caused the wealth being centralized.Republicans destroyed thr family because 2 incomes are now needed to survive.
It’s been clear for years that ‘trickle down economics’ is awful. It’s good in theory but wealth is #1. It will always win.
