    Next line that you left off speaks to that…still.

    “That’s my position. We just haven’t figured out how to do it yet.”

    That hits hard. Will we ever figure out how to do it here?

    This might be the most memorable quote from the entire run of the West Wing for me. Our teachers are doing their job out of good will and our society is taking advantage of them because their value far outstrips what they are paid.

      We’re several generations deep into a manufactured apathy meant to fragment and dilute any workers rights reforms

      We stumbled into work from home due to the pandemic, but that genie will be put back in the bottle within 2 generations.

      Robber barons never left, they just got smarter.
