I think the Roundup makes people feel not so alone.

It has been a hard week in the news - violence in the Middle East, violence in Maine, total chaos in the Republican caucus, followed by a bizarre election of a Christian nationalist Speaker.
I will take 2 days off this weekend from the Roundup to calm my soul (unless some extraordinary news breaks).
I hope your pre-Halloween weekend will be good. I will “see” you on Monday.
For now, let me leave you with a glimmer of hope that may have been lost in the Roundup during the painful week that just passed.
The American economy, under the care of the Biden-Harris Administration, continues to grow, at an unexpected and fast clip - 4.9% at an annual rate.
This report, together with the promising settlements of 2 strikes -one by the WGA, the other by the UAW at Ford - should make us pause. Over time America may yet become more fair, and the painful inequality of wealth which has damaged this country may one day no longer define our values.
Celebrate the harvest.
