I absolutely believe, if the world paid a lot less attention to economics and a lot more attention to ergonomics, we might know peace.
Our military is bought, our police officers are bought, our medicine is bought, our politicians are bought, our small businesses are bought.

One of the most heart-wrenching so far.

-I’m being evicted mid-November w/my 2 companion animals out onto the streets.
-I have NO family and NO ONE to take me in; my social worker never even called me back!
-My blood pressure was158 over 106- HIGH.
-I don’t earn enough from Soc. Sec. Disability (750/mo. and $48 in food stamps/mo.) to even rent a room anywhere.

I am 46 years old, have a Masters in Education,
am lucky to be almost debt free, but my only
earned benefits for retirement are Social
Security and Medicare.
I took more than a 10% wage cut last year &
another cut this year, but I see students and
America’s future being cheated even more than
I in class sizes growing and school years
shortening.
Besides my Congressperson and Senators, I am
the only lobbyist I can afford (apologies to D.C.,
Puerto Rico and territories residents if I seem
ungrateful for that).
Occupy everywhere the comfortable
need to be afflicted.
