The gross domestic national product has increases by over 5 since 1980, then i was 14 years old and getting over the death of a childhood friend.
Since then wealth has increased by a factor of five yet wages for the average American have stagnated for the last thirty years…in economic terms “greedy”…that is why we retire to gated communities…we know what we have done…

My father being a capitalist has profited immensely during this golden age. And for the many, say 1%, things have got much better

Saw a movie last night at an “Acorn Meeting” from India about children who made a dollar or two a day picking garbage to sell. In Mumbai there is no sanitation system going door to door i.e. no garage pick up…

Upper middle class people who recycle hurt poor people…of course not in Canada..but for sure…in India.
I know a guy in LA, who wants to do everything in his power to get everyone a home, a football pro, earns a living gambling, which would be controversial in some integrity circles…
and met the founder of Acorn Wade Rathke, (Citizen Wealth)
a legendary organizer and a good union guy…
an NGO that relies on donations…doesn’t work…
an NGO that relies on empowering the people in sustainable systems, for example a group of people who negotiate the terms of their employment at least allows for more freedom, more choice and more time.
If it wasn’t for unions we’d be working 16 hour days and not 40 hours weeks says Camus form The Rebel.
