thanks for sharing your experiences as a younger person with teens in Russia. I don't think capitalism, at least late stage capitalism, is a good system. it means death of an empire that has all too long interfered, fought proxy wars, all to pad the pockets of mercenaries who became the billionaires we find ourselves contending with now - and most of their names we'll never know. We need a groundswell and something to replace a corrupt broken system, starting with jailing the real criminals. I have little hope in this happening. Go local! That's all I feel I can do at this time. The rest... well. I hope we can have a true Republic since we have never had a true democracy. The 6 First Nations did - we stole their ideas without really knowing what they meant for if we did, the Grandmothers would be the wise council - not the kleptocrats we have now. I appreciate you, the reminder of flowers, the champions speaking out against corruption rather than this party or that. That is much closer to the truth of what we are facing. Thank you, Joyce! You inspire me to keep going and doing what I can here.
Empty shelves and empty stores and not something so many of us cannot imagine an I often wonder if those making decisions really understand the impact of what they are doing is having on the average person
Great Walker quote. I was amazed to see the Stock Market return to near former levels this week. Now doubt there will be more volatility ahead. A few court cases have had positive outcomes; however, enforcement is another matter. I get whiplash going from news event to news event. Focus on flowers and birds really does help.

of course many of them do. Which makes it even more egregious.
